Barcelona Boat Show

Date: 14 October 2026 – 18 October 2026

Location: Port Vell, Barcelona, Spain

The Barcelona International Boat Show, the Salo Nautic, is Spain's major boating exhibition, held afloat and ashore at Port Vell in the middle of the city. The 2026 show runs October 14 to 18, spread across the Moll de la Fusta, Espana and Marina Port Vell wharves, open daily from 10am to 8pm. Organizers are promising a record number of boats this year, with new zones and a broader display aimed at both professional buyers and recreational sailors. The range covers small craft, RIBs, sailboats and large yachts, plus equipment, electronics and services. The Port Vell setting is the show's real advantage. Exhibits sit in a working historic harbour a short walk from the old city, so boat shopping and Barcelona itself fit into the same afternoon. Tickets start at 10 euros. For the Mediterranean market, this is one of the key dates of the autumn.
