Salon Nautico - Barcelona International Boat Show

Boat owners and those who want to have a boat in the future have now the chance to visit the annual Barcelona International Boat Show, Salon Nautico. The event will take place from November 6th until November 14th at Gran Via and Port Vell for the 49th time this year.

 

The Salon Nautico Barcelona has of course an ideal location for an International Boat Show because Barcelona is directly at the Mediterranean Sea and offers therefore many possibilities for boat owners.

 

If you plan to attend the Barcelona International Boat Show at Port Vell, you can walk comfortably from your Ramblas Barcelona Apartment along the famous Las Ramblas towards the harbor. This port is the ninth largest container port in Europe and besides a free trade zone also has the Maremagnum, a really big mall and a multiplex cinema. After the show or before you watch a movie or shop in one of the many different stores at Las Ramblas.

The best way to get to the Port Vell is if you take the L3 (the green one) until Drassanes and then walk towards the sea.

But also the venue at Gran Via offers a great location with a lot of shops and impressing buildings to see. To get to the Gran Via venue it is easiest to use the bus 79 or, if you don't mind walking a little bit to enjoy the beautiful buildings, you can either take the L1 (red one) and step out at Bellvitge or the same line and step out at Santa Eulàlia. Both are more or less the same away from the Gran Via venue.

 

During the Salon Nautico Barcelona there will be different sections, for professionals as well as private persons. At Port Vell, large vessels like mega-yachts will be displayed, at Gran Via there will be more different displays. Examples include accessories, sailboats, speedboats, paints, a shopping area and many more.

 

Of course there will also be regattas that are exciting to watch. Don't miss them! But also for smaller visitors the Salon Nautico Barcelona could be very interesting: the Spanish Navy organizes seafaring baptisms for schoolchildren and there are many simulators for sailing or fishing (which also are interesting for adult visitors of course).

 

And for persons who want to exhibit at the Salon Nautica Barcelona, there is the possibility to book different options. After all, Barcelona is a very popular business centre and according to the fair, more than the half of all boat sales in Spain start at this important fair.

 So if you are in a Barcelona hotel or apartment during the 6th and 14th November, you should visit the International Boat Show in Barcelona, as it offers many possibilities for young and old or professional and private!
