Hundreds of boats and exhibitors, dozens of exciting sporting displays, innumerable meetings and conventions. This and much more is the fourth Salone Nautico or Venice International Boat Show, the most important and spectacular boat show in the Adriatic. The novelties this year include the distinctive twinning with the largest show of its kind in the world, the Annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show - which is an extraordinary event in terms of size and quality - that has selected Venice as a means for linking up with Europe. Fort Lauderdale will lend a strategic hand to the Venice Show in the development of the sector focusing on large yachts.In collaboration with VYP (Venice Yacht Pier) and VTP (Venezia Terminal Passeggeri,) companies, which manage the mooring of large vessels in Venice, one section of the show will extend all the way to St Mark's Basin. Furthermore, the Venezia Terminal Passeggeri Company, besides being one of the principal sponsors of the show (with the Casino of Venice) will provide premises for the Show in the Harbour Station Buildings and docks to host the stands and show pavilions.
