Past Event - Athens International Boat Show

The Athens International Boat Show, Greece's premier maritime exhibition, returns fully upgraded for its 2025 edition at Metropolitan Expo, drawing boating enthusiasts, professionals, and families to celebrate the nation's seafaring heritage amid the Aegean spirit. Over 300 exhibitors from 20+ countries, including top brands like Beneteau, Jeanneau, and Azimut, showcase 200+ vessels—from sleek sailing yachts and luxury motorboats to compact fishing craft and superyacht tenders—alongside cutting-edge gear: marine electronics (Garmin, Raymarine), engines, sails, diving equipment, kayaks, and eco-innovations like hybrid propulsion and sustainable hull materials. Organized by Expo One in partnership with the Hellenic Yacht Brokers Association, this five-day event spans 20,000 sqm indoors and outdoors, blending B2B networking (seminars on yacht refits, charter trends, and Mediterranean tourism) with public fun: live water sports demos, kids' boat-building workshops, fishing clinics, and tastings of Greek seafood and ouzo. Attracting 25,000+ visitors annually, it highlights Greece's yachting boom—third-largest charter market in Europe—fostering deals worth millions while promoting conservation via clean-water initiatives. Set near Athens' ancient marinas, it's a vibrant hub for dreamers eyeing island-hopping charters or pros scouting Ionian innovations, all under winter sun. Expect award ceremonies, speedboat races, and sunset networking parties overlooking Attica's hills. Essential for sailors, divers, and sea lovers seeking inspiration in the cradle of nautical history.
