Barcelona boat show
By Charlotte Stace
Salon Nautico, Barcelona’s International Boat Show, is the biggest of its type in Spain and the only one in the country officially approved by the International Federation of Boat Show Organisers (IFBSO). It returns to Port Vell this year to celebrate another fabulous edition.
The show features the largest and most comprehensive commercial selection of sport and recreational boats, exhibited both in and out of the water: sailing boats, yachts, catamarans, Menorquin boats, motorboats, inflatable craft, cruisers and recreational fishing boats - you name it, they’ve got it. What’s more, you can find all manner of nautical products and services, ranging from electronics and engines to paint, sails, trailers, fishing equipment, and much more.
The Barcelona City Council awarded the event the Gold Medal for Sporting Merit in recognition of its promotion of the sector and for helping to put the city on the international map.
