Visitor registration is now open for Metstrade 2026, the world’s largest trade exhibition for the leisure marine industry, which will return to RAI Amsterdam from 17 to 19 November.
The three-day event is expected to welcome more than 1,700 exhibitors across 13 exhibition halls, showcasing the latest innovations in marine equipment, propulsion systems, sustainable materials, smart connectivity and onboard electronics.
New Floorplan for 2026
This year’s edition will introduce a redesigned exhibition layout aimed at improving visitor navigation and creating additional networking opportunities throughout the show.
Key changes include an expanded Superyacht Zone, a relocated Marina & Yard Zone and a larger Construction Materials Zone, reflecting continued growth across these sectors of the leisure marine industry.
Focus on Industry Trends
The 2026 conference programme will feature longer 45-minute discussion sessions followed by dedicated networking opportunities, allowing attendees to engage more deeply with industry experts.
Topics on the agenda include the future of nuclear propulsion for superyachts, practical implementation of environmental regulations and the growing influence of artificial intelligence on marine marketing and business operations.
Metstrade Week will also host several accompanying industry events, including The Superyacht Forum, taking place from 16 to 17 November under the theme Accelerate the Evolution.
Free Registration Until November
Visitor registration will remain free until 1 November 2026. After that date, online registration will cost €90, excluding VAT.
Early registration also provides access to programme updates, discounted hotel accommodation and limited early-bird tickets for Metstrain, the dedicated Eurostar carriage connecting London and Amsterdam exclusively for Metstrade attendees.
Metstrade continues to serve as one of the marine industry’s most important international business events, bringing together manufacturers, suppliers, designers, shipyards and marine professionals from around the world.
