Helsinki International Boat Show (Vene Båt)

Date: 12 February 2027 – 21 February 2027

Location: Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre, Helsinki, Finland

Vene 27 Båt, the Helsinki International Boat Show, runs 12 to 21 February 2027 at Messukeskus, the Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre. It is the largest boating event in Northern Europe and the annual gathering point for the Finnish marine scene, a market with an unusually high rate of boat ownership thanks to the country's lakes and the Baltic archipelago. Over ten days the halls fill with sailboats, motorboats, engines, electronics and gear, alongside talks, demonstrations and stands from clubs and training organisations. Finnish builders are well represented, and the show is a good place to see Nordic brands that rarely appear at boat shows further south. In 2027 the Helsinki Outdoor and Hunting Fair runs in parallel at the same venue, so one ticket covers a fairly broad slice of Finnish outdoor life. The 2026 edition recorded a clear jump in visitor numbers.
