Who will be at Italy’s first B2B boat accessories trade show (and how to visit)

Milan from March 4 to 6, 2026 becomes the capital of nautical components. Seaquip – Mediterranean Yacht and Marine Equipment Trade Fair, the first Mediterranean B2B trade fair dedicated to nautical accessories and components in Milan, is just under a year away.

Seaquip’s first (good) numbers.

The numbers of the event (scheduled for March 4-6, 2026 in the exhibition spaces of Fiera Milano Rho) are more than encouraging; the fair can already count some 50 confirmed exhibitors.

The idea of Seaquip’s organization, which is part of the large group specializing in the organization of fairs and events Easyfairs, started from a simple reasoning: the Mediterranean is the most important area in the world for boating and Milan is in the center of Europe, easily accessible. In the world then today there is only one event that monopolizes the marine equipment sector, Mets, which takes place in November in the Netherlands, in Amsterdam.

Seaquip is not going to compete with Mets but stands alongside it with an emphasis on the Mediterranean, so it can catalyze the interest of the nautical world in all its components in Milan by hosting a first-rate B2B trade fair dedicated to the yacht and marine equipment industry. With the ambition to become a reference in Italy for shipyards, architects and designers and industry professionals to create connections, expand the network and present the latest innovations in marine technology.

1,000 square meters already sold

To date, nearly 1,000 square meters of exhibition space has already been sold, with a significant acceleration in recent weeks: more than 10 new selected companies have joined in the last 10 days alone. This result testifies to the targeted strategy of the new team, which has focused on a careful selection of exhibitors, welcoming only high-quality companies in line with the B2B focus of the event.

“From the very beginning, our goal has been to create a highly qualified trade show that responds to the real needs of the industry,” says Pier Paolo Ponchia, managing director of Easyfairs Italia, the Italian subsidiary of Easyfairs Group, one of the world’s top 20 trade show organizing companies. “We are carefully evaluating every request we receive to ensure a high-level offer and an exhibitor portfolio in line with the positioning of the event. The market response confirms that Seaquip represents a new and concrete business opportunity for the marine industry “.
