The marine industry is evolving rapidly, driven by technological innovation, new materials, digitalisation and the development of increasingly advanced solutions for yachts, superyachts and marine infrastructure. In this changing landscape, SEAQUIP – Mediterranean Yacht and Marine Equipment Trade Fair is positioning itself as a dedicated meeting point for the professionals shaping the future of the sector.
Following its inaugural edition in 2026, SEAQUIP will return to Fiera Milano Rho from 2 to 4 March 2027, with an increasingly international outlook. The second edition is already showing strong signs of growth, with a 52% increase in confirmed exhibitors compared with the same period ahead of the first edition. More than 160 exhibitors from 13 countries are already confirmed, highlighting the growing interest in the event and its role within the international marine supply chain.
The 2027 edition will maintain its focus on components and accessories while expanding its scope to include services dedicated to marinas and tourist ports. This new area responds to the evolution of the sector and extends SEAQUIP's reach across an increasingly interconnected marine ecosystem. The exhibition layout has also been redesigned to improve visitor flow and create even more opportunities for professional meetings and business development.
A key element of SEAQUIP's development is its direct dialogue with the shipbuilding industry. The launch of the SEAQUIP Advisory Board brings together leading companies from both the sailing and motor yacht sectors, including Azimut|Benetti Group, Antonini Navi, Baglietto Yachts, Groupe Beneteau, Cantiere Rossini, Ferretti Yachts, Rio Yachts, Sanlorenzo Yacht, Solaris Yachts, Valdettaro Group and WOSA Yacht Refit & Survey. The Board has been created to contribute to the strategic development of the exhibition and to ensure that its content and services respond to the industry's evolving needs.
Innovation is also central to the SEAQUIP experience. Alongside the products and technologies showcased by exhibitors, the event integrates digital tools such as Smart Badge Technology with Touch & Collect and the SEAQUIP app, supporting professional networking and the organisation of meetings before, during and after the exhibition.
The international dimension is being strengthened throughout the year through SEAQUIP's presence at major industry events. These occasions provide opportunities to engage directly with companies and professionals from different markets, follow the evolution of the marine industry and further develop the exhibition around the needs of its international community.
Located in Milan, at the heart of one of Europe's most important industrial and marine manufacturing areas, SEAQUIP aims to connect the Italian production ecosystem with an increasingly international network of professionals. With its second edition already taking shape and visitor registration now open, the event is strengthening its ambition to become a reference hub for the Mediterranean B2B marine market.
