Five days on Valencia's waterfront
Valencia Boat Show is scheduled for 28 October to 1 November 2026 at Marina Port Valencia and the Veles e Vents waterfront. Its public vessel directory already allows visitors to compare models, dealers and display locations before the show opens.
The live directory contained 120 vessel listings when reviewed, although the organiser's main event website advertises a wider projected show programme of more than 140 boats. Those are not necessarily contradictory figures: exhibitors may continue to update individual listings and some locations remain to be confirmed.
Sirena 68 as one of the largest listed yachts
Among the relevant motor yachts is the 21.4-metre Sirena 68, represented by Windward Yachts. Its inclusion gives visitors a cruising-focused option towards the upper end of Luxury Yacht Guide's 12–23.99-metre editorial segment.
A yacht of this size raises different ownership questions from a mid-size weekend cruiser. Guests may value cabin separation and deck volume, while the owner must also consider berth dimensions, crew assistance and the arrangements for servicing in Spain or other intended cruising locations.
Aquila's 50 Yacht adds a power-catamaran alternative
The official directory also lists the Aquila 50 Yacht at 15.99 metres through Windward Yachts. As a twin-hulled motor yacht, it offers a different approach to beam, accommodation and deck layout from a comparably long single-hull cruiser.
Visitors should compare the additional living room against the marina footprint required by a catamaran. Berthing fees and availability for wider vessels can influence an itinerary just as much as the amount of space available in the saloon.
De Antonio and Saxdor bring open-deck designs
De Antonio Yachts' D60 appears in the official directory at 18.5 metres, exhibited by Pleamar, while Saxdor's 460 GTC is listed at 14.38 metres with Xiram Nautica. These choices demonstrate the appeal of motor yachts designed around open-air entertaining and more flexible outdoor seating.
The D60 is notably larger than the typical dayboat, making its practical accommodation and weather protection important considerations. The Saxdor 460 GTC offers a convertible wheelhouse concept, providing a contrast between a relatively open boating style and the possibility of more sheltered operation.
Sailing monohulls are well represented
BENETEAU Oceanis 52 is listed at 16.28 metres, with SPORTNAUTIC as its exhibitor. The directory also includes the Oceanis Yacht 54 at 17.12 metres and additional models from Hanse's cruising range.
For people considering owner-operated sailing holidays, those options allow comparisons of helm arrangements, cockpit space and internal accommodation. A model's brochure length will not show how sail handling or movement on deck feels during a practical demonstration.
Catamarans provide another sailing choice
The directory includes a Bali 5.4 at 16.95 metres through Pleamar, along with the Aquila 45 Sail at 14.38 metres. These vessels illustrate the variety of sailing catamarans now available to customers who want large outdoor living spaces in a sub-24-metre yacht.
Wide beams and multihull handling bring their own practical requirements. Visitors should inspect storage, weather protection, rigging access and the arrangements needed for a marina berth, rather than assume a catamaran of a given length can use all the facilities available to a monohull.
What the online listings can and cannot confirm
Some models already have berth references in the official directory, while many are shown with display locations still to be confirmed. It would therefore be premature to promise that every listed boat can be boarded at a specific pontoon without further checking.
The directory is also a mixture of new and pre-owned vessels, and models may be represented through dealers rather than directly by shipyards. Buyers should distinguish the model's published specification from the equipment installed on the actual vessel available for inspection.
Planning a useful visit
Valencia Boat Show's own website provides model pages, exhibitor details and an overview of the public programme. A prospective buyer could use it to shortlist a manageable group of yachts, then ask each exhibitor about appointments, sea trials and current delivery options.
The most valuable comparisons will be of real usable space, build quality, helm visibility, service access and the suitability of the yacht for its owner's cruising habits. A careful shortlist is more useful than trying to board every boat in the marina in one afternoon.
Industry context for the Spanish market
The show's mixed inventory reflects the range of Mediterranean leisure boating, from small open craft to premium cruising yachts that may be operated by families or small professional crews. It gives Valencia a platform for shipyards, brokers, equipment suppliers and marina businesses.
The public directory establishes which models have been listed, but it is not evidence of sales, sea-trial results or a boat's readiness for delivery. Visitors should obtain written specifications and commercial terms before making any commitment.
