The heart of the Cypriot leisure marine industry is set to beat in the Famagusta district this year, as the iconic Ayia Napa Marina prepares to host the Boat & Sea Expo 2026 from May 8th to 10th. This brand-new, dynamic exhibition is poised to fill the gap in major nautical events, gathering the elite of the industry in one of the most modern waterfront destinations in the Mediterranean.
Organized by Dacor Advertising and Media Ltd, a company with extensive and proven experience in delivering successful large-scale exhibitions such as the Limassol Boat Show, the event guarantees professional excellence and high standards. Market response to this new initiative has already been remarkable, with exhibitor occupancy reaching nearly 100%, underscoring the industry's demand for such a high-quality platform.
The expo is expected to feature almost all major boat dealerships operating in Cyprus, showcasing the latest models and cutting-edge technologies across both onshore and in-water exhibition areas. However, the Boat & Sea Expo 2026 goes beyond a simple boat display, as visitors will have the opportunity to explore the entire spectrum of marine equipment, yachting services, watersports, diving, and recreational fishing, alongside luxury automobile exhibits and outdoor lifestyle activities.
A significant emphasis is also placed on educational value, with specialized seminars conducted by the event’s Silver Sponsor, Furuno Cyprus, covering fish-finder technology and the latest advancements in the yachting sector.
The strategic objective of the exhibition is to establish itself as the premier meeting point for the leisure marine and yachting sector not only in Cyprus but also across the wider Eastern Mediterranean region, providing an ideal platform for networking, business development, and public engagement with the maritime world.
The exhibition will be open to the public on Friday, May 8th from 17:00 to 21:00, Saturday, May 9th from 15:30 to 21:30, and Sunday, May 10th from 15:30 to 20:30.
