Vene Båt - Helsinki International Boat Show

Vene Båt, Northern Europe's largest boat show since 1970, is Finland's premier maritime event at Helsinki Expo, drawing 70,000+ enthusiasts for a 10-day celebration of boating, fishing, and watersports. Over 400 exhibitors from 20+ countries showcase 400+ vessels—from luxury yachts and sailboats to fishing rigs, kayaks, and inflatables—plus gear like engines (Yamaha, Mercury), electronics (Garmin), diving kits, trailers, docks, and eco-innovations (hybrid drives, solar panels). Organized by Messukeskus for Finnboat, it spans 50,000+ sqm with seminars on navigation/safety, kids' workshops, live demos (canoe slaloms, fishing clinics), and networking for charters/tourism. A trading hub for pros and families, it kicks off the season with deals, tastings, and inspiration amid Nordic vibes—essential for sailors eyeing Baltic adventures.
