METSTRADE 2026

Date: 17 November 2026

Location: RAI Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Netherlands

Organizer: METSTRADE

Metstrade is the world's largest trade show for leisure marine equipment, held at RAI Amsterdam from 17 to 19 November 2026. It is a pure B2B event with no boats for sale and no public admission; what fills the 13 halls is everything that goes into a boat, from engines and electronics down to fittings, resins and rope. The 2026 edition is set to be the biggest yet, with close to 1,700 exhibitors from 40 countries, more than 30 country pavilions and over 20,000 visitors expected. Specialist zones organise the sprawl, including a SuperYacht Zone, a Foiling Technology Zone, Marina and Yard, Construction Materials and a Next Gen Zone. The Superyacht Forum runs at the RAI on 16 and 17 November, overlapping the show's opening day. For builders, boatyards, distributors and refit yards, this is the one week of the year when the industry's entire supply chain is standing in the same building.
