A great show for fans of Italian yachts, but also with a good international showing, the event is scheduled to run from 16-21 September 2021 and regularly attracts thousands of visitors alongside a fleet of around 240 yachts.
After going ahead with a special, socially distanced edition in 2020, the Genoa International Boat Show will continue in 2021 with the 61st annual event, held once again at the Piazzale John Fitzgerald Kennedy in northwest Italy.
The event has been running since 1962 nonstop and has developed a solid reputation for its international presence and strong turn-out from Italian yards.
