SEAQUIP – Mediterranean Yacht and Marine Equipment Trade Fair – an event for the international yachting industry that will be held in Milan from 4 to 6 March 2026 – celebrates an important milestone with the signing up of the event’s 100th exhibitor. Just a few months after work began and the presentation of the first edition, the event’s momentum is clearly demonstrated by its steady growth and an increasingly qualified selection of industry players.

In recent days, thanks to the targeted efforts of the SEAQUIP team and its ongoing selection of exhibitors aligned with the B2B positioning and quality required by the event, a number of leading international players have registered as exhibitors, including Besenzoni, HP Watermakers, Mapei, Nuncas Marine, Twin Disc and Vetus – benchmark operators in the marine accessories market – further expanding the exhibition offering (click here to view the exhibitors).

An important indicator of the central role increasingly played by SEAQUIP in the yachting sector is the number of shipyards participating in the event as official supporters. They include top-tier names such as Azimut|Benetti Group, Bellini Nautica, Cantieri di Pisa, Cantiere Rossini and Valdettaro Group.

Another contribution to institutional recognition is the official endorsement of the Italian Trade Agency (ITA), which confirms the strategic value of the show in promoting Italy’s marine equipment supply chain on international markets.

The milestone of 100 exhibitors confirms the value of our trade fair offering and the market’s positive response to it,” says Pier Paolo Ponchia, Managing Director at Easyfairs Italy. “SEAQUIP is positioning itself as the ideal platform for facilitating contacts and new collaborations between shipyards and suppliers, focusing exclusively on innovation, quality and business opportunities.

SEAQUIP represents a new opportunity to showcase technological and manufacturing excellence in the yachting industry and is set to be a key event in 2026.
