Ten days of boating, fishing and water sports converge in Helsinki to mark the start of the new season. From 12 to 21 February, Vene Bat gathers manufacturers, sellers and practical content for boat owners and enthusiasts.
Dates and venue in Helsinki
Vene Bat - Helsinki International Boat Show 2027 runs from 12 to 21 February at the Helsinki Fair Centre. The event operates largely as an indoor show and is presented as one of Europe’s largest indoor boat exhibitions, with trade-focused areas and topic zones for boating, fishing and equipment.
What is on display at Vene Båt
The exhibition showcases a range of boats from day cruisers to fishing boats, trailers, docks, engines and marine equipment. Visitors will find fishing boats and specialist gear alongside electronics and fittings for vessels, including navigation and lighting solutions. The mix of product types allows side-by-side comparisons of technical options and price points.
Programme highlights and visitor experience
The organised programme offers demonstrations, talks and practical guides across boating, fishing and water activities. There are themed areas aimed at beginners as well as content for those seeking more technical insight. The format emphasizes hands-on viewing of boats and direct contact with suppliers.
Preparing B2B prospecting at the show
Map the exhibitors you want to meet before arriving and focus on suppliers of marine engines, onboard electronics and boat outfitting. Set clear objectives for each meeting, such as obtaining technical specifications, lead times or distributorship terms. Short specification sheets will speed up technical conversations and help you compare offers efficiently.
Book meetings in quieter time slots and confirm appointments with key exhibitors in advance. After each meeting, record a concise follow-up note with next steps to convert initial conversations into concrete commercial actions.
Audience and commercial value
The show addresses hobbyists, professionals and newcomers to boating and fishing. For companies, Vene Bat provides an opportunity to introduce new products and to negotiate with local and regional partners. The proximity of complementary suppliers simplifies the procurement process and supports comparative sourcing.
