Salone Nautico Venezia 2025. Maritime show in the heart of Venice

From 29 May to 2 June 2025, the historic Arsenale di Venezia will once again open its gates for Salone Nautico Venezia, one of the most unique yachting shows in Europe. The show was first held in 2019 and continues to grow year after year. This year, Salone Nautico Venezia promises to break records in terms of the number of participants and innovations, especially in the field of sustainable boating. The 55,000 square metre space will accommodate 300 boats and 270 exhibitors.
Motor and sailing yachts, catamarans, boats with electric and hybrid drives, as well as luxury yachting brands will be presented in the picturesque setting of the Venetian lagoon. Among the participants are Ferretti Group, Sanlorenzo, Wider, Silent Yachts, Pershing, Astondoa, Jeanneau, Nautor Swan and others. There are 15 world premieres expected from a wide range of industry segments, from compact electric boats to superyachts. Among the most anticipated new arrivals are the 28-metre Ferretti 940; the all-electric 10-metre Lumen e10 developed by Mulder; the debut of a hydrogen-powered model from Hydrocell; and the CyberCat, a futuristic-looking electric catamaran tender developed by Belisama Yacht.
Other outstanding yachts to be presented at the Venice show include the 30-metre AB 100, the Pershing 9X (28m) and the 50-metre Sanlorenzo Almax, the first 50Steel superyacht to run on methanol fuel cells.
A special focus in 2025 is on sustainable transport: the E-Village area will be a showcase of future technologies, from solar catamarans to hydrogen concepts.
In addition to the yacht show, the organisers are offering a varied programme aimed at a wide audience. Throughout the show, there will be demonstrations of water sports and leisure activities. Also returning is a long-time favourite of visitors to Wood Village: the “workshop”, where master shipbuilders will demonstrate their skills in the production of exquisite wooden boats.
Salone Nautico Venezia is not only a show, but also a cultural event with shows, conferences and test drives right on the water. It is the ideal place where Italian craftsmanship, maritime history and innovation come together face to face.
