The Venice Boat Show, set against the stunning backdrop of one of the world’s most iconic cities, is fast approaching. This annual event is a highlight in the yachting calendar, attracting enthusiasts and buyers from around the globe.

Running from Wednesday 29th May to Sunday 2nd June 2024, the Venice Boat Show will feature a wide array of yachts for sale, from sleek motorboats to luxurious superyachts.

The 2023 Venice Boat Show attracted over 30,000 visitors, and this year’s event is expected to surpass those numbers with an exciting lineup that includes at least four world debuts.

One of the key attractions of the Venice Boat Show is the opportunity to engage with industry experts. Dealers, builders, and manufacturer representatives will be on hand to answer questions and provide detailed information about their new, and pre-owned yachts. This is an invaluable chance for potential buyers to gain a comprehensive understanding of their yacht-buying options.

The Pershing GTX80 debuts in Venice. This 23.98m (78.8ft) sports yacht, available for sale, can accommodate up to six guests in three cabins. With a comfortable cruising speed of 28 knots, it offers a range of up to 300 nautical miles.

The Azimut Seadeck 6, also set for its world debut, has been highly anticipated. This yacht features three guest cabins and a separate crew space. The focus during its debut will likely be on the expansive aft deck waterside area, created by dropping the balconies on either side of the cockpit. According to Azimut, this is a scaled-down version of the Oasis superyacht, produced by their partner brand, Benetti.
