Seaquip expands: the new benchmark event for marine accessories in Italy will take place in Milan, March 2026
Seaquip, the new leading trade fair for marine accessories and components in Italy, continues to grow its exhibitor base. Scheduled from March 4 to 6, 2026, at Fiera Milano Rho, this B2B event aims to become a global meeting point for boatbuilders and manufacturers of marine accessories and components. Interest in the event is so high that more than a year in advance, over 50 companies have confirmed their participation.
Seaquip – Mediterranean Yacht and Marine Equipment Trade Fair: this is the complete name of the new B2B event created ans organized by the Italian branch of the Easyfairs Group—experts in trade fair organization. Seaquip 2026 is scheduled from March 4 to 6, 2026, at Fiera Milano Rho.
The underlying premise of this event dedicated to industry professionals is simple and impactful: in a country like Italy, a global leader in superyacht production and the second-largest in the world for recreational boating, a key event in the field of components is essential. It provides industry professionals with the opportunity to establish important business partnerships and identify the cutting-edge technologies of tomorrow, ultimately benefiting the end users of these vessels—you, dear readers.
Not by chance in Italy, not by chance in March
While the accessories and components sector already boasts major events—just think of the Mets in Amsterdam—Seaquip 2026 aims to establish itself as a key reference point for the entire Mediterranean region. The timing is particularly strategic for boat manufacturers who, after concluding the global trade fair cycle in autumn and winter, where they showcase their latest innovations, are now focused on the products for the upcoming season.
Here, the supply chain of accessory and component manufacturers will have the opportunity to present their latest developments to buyers in Milan, a city that naturally attracts professionals and investors. Moreover, its excellent connectivity from all over Europe makes it an ideal location, especially with Fiera Milano Rho, which is easily accessible via highways, airports, and train stations.
What will draw shipyards, buyers, and suppliers is the well-established organizational expertise of the Easyfairs Group. Managing over 100 B2B trade fairs across Europe, it ranks among the world's top 20 exhibition organizers.
Seaquip 2026: program and exhibitors
Naturally, with a year to go, it is still too early to have precise details on the program for the first edition of Seaquip. However, it is already clear that the exhibition will be accompanied by a packed schedule of conferences, with a strong focus on new technologies and the opportunities offered by artificial intelligence, alternative propulsion systems, and innovative materials.
The forecast is to reach at least 150 exhibitors, if not more. Even with a year still to go, over 50 exhibitors have already confirmed their participation, coming not only from Italy but also from abroad, with a total occupied exhibition space already reaching 1,000 square meters.
A rapidly evolving event
Raymarine, CMC Marine, Tecnimpianti, Indemar, Opac, and Osculati are just a few of the internationally renowned companies in the marine accessories and components sector that will be present at Seaquip 2026.
