The 61st edition of the Barcelona International Show Boat will allow all the fans to experience what it means to be the venue for the third major international sporting competition, after the Olympic Games and the football World Cup.
This October the show will help to bring the America’s Cup closer to the city, as well as bringing a wide range of boats and the whole nautical world to the Port Vell.
From the 11th to the 15th of October, the Marina Port Vell, Moll de la Fusta and Moll d’Espanya in the Catalan capital will once again be the epicentre of the nautical world with the commercial offer of the leading boat show in Spain and a benchmark event in Europe. But beyond being able to discover the latest models and innovations in boats, the show will be filled with the atmosphere of the America’s Cup in the city through exhibitions, workshops and experiences that will be held around it and that will aim to bring this legendary competition to fans, families and lovers of the sea.
The show will offer, among other activities, the possibility of visiting the America’s Cup Experience, an immersive exhibition space that will open at the beginning of August, where visitors will be able to feel, among other things, the sensations of sailing aboard an AC75 class monohull sailboat like those that will sail the waters off the Barcelona coastline during the competition in a virtual reality simulator.
