If in 2020 the world of international nautical events was upset by the pandemic that affected everyone without distinction, the year 2021 certainly did not open in the best way with some important events scheduled and then canceled and others that postponed their dates.

In this article we try to shed some light by first listing the canceled events and then in chronological order the major events still on the calendar, evaluating their “health status” for each one. Unfortunately, the first part of the year has already reserved nasty surprises for fans and professionals. Let’s see the situation in practice.
Here is the list of the Boat Shows that unfortunately have already been canceled in 2021 and rescheduled to 2022:
Miami Yacht Show
The 2021 edition of one of the most important nautical events in North America, the International Boat Show of Miami, was supposed to take place this February, from 11th to 15th, at the Miami Marine Stadium in the Virginia Key island but was postponed to February 2022.

Vancouver International Boat Show – New York Boat Show
The same fate has also befallen these two prestigious exhibition halls which should have taken place in the first months of the new year but which instead decided to postpone their events until 2022.
Telling the truth, the Vancouver organizers have given birth, from 24 to 27 February 2021, to a virtual exhibition with which it was possible to interconnect sector operators.
The MYBA Charter Show 2021
Unfortunately, there is also little to say about this important European event that was supposed to take place from 26 to 29 April in Barcelona but, due to the restrictions due to the pandemic, it was definitely canceled and postponed until next year.
Dubai International Yacht Show
According to what was reported by the organizers, due to difficulties encountered in the travel necessary to reach Dubai by customers and interested parties, the decision was made to postpone the event to the year 2022. The dates have already been confirmed so the show will be held from 8 to 12 March next year.
Boot Dusseldorf
Bad luck also struck the German event that was supposed to take place in Dusseldorf from 17 to 25 April 2021. Due to the increase in coronavirus cases in Germany and the consequent tightening of the anti-pandemic rules, the organizers have decided to move the event in 2022, from 22 to 30 January, promising a very rich and interesting edition.
Fortunately, not all has been lost. These are the events already held or still scheduled:
Thailand Yacht Show
We could actually add this event to those postponed or canceled but we feel confident that, as stated by the organizers themselves, the event, which was supposed to take place at the Royal Phuket Marina from 11 to 14 February, was only postponed later in the year and will be scheduled as soon as possible.
Qatar International Boat Show
The event has been scheduled for the last week of March and it looks like it will take place smoothly. The appointment is therefore set from 23 to 28 March 2021 in Porto Arabia, The Pearl District, Doha.
Singapore Yacht Show
The Singapore Yacht Show, which will take place at the magnificent ONE ° 15 Marina Sentosa Cove from 22 to 25 April 2021, is highly confirmed. The event, now in its tenth edition, is considered the main boat show in Asia and offers a great exhibition of yachts in a truly chic and elegant setting.
TYBA Yacht Charter Show
This young international event, now in its third edition, is organized by the Turkish Yachting and Brokers Association and will take place in Yalıkavak Marina from 1st to 4th May 2021.
Palma Superyacht Show
The next edition of this event was recently confirmed but postponed. It will be held from 3 to 6 of next June while originally it was scheduled from April 30th to May 3th 2021.
The organizers say they are optimistic about this, considering the opening, in the same period, of most of the hotels on the Mallorca island and the beginning of tourism in the Balearics.
Newport Charter Yacht Show
With more than 35 years of existence, this long-lasting show will run from 21 to 24 June 2021.
The Newport Charter Yacht Show is a showcase of luxury charter yachts along with an exhibition of ancillary goods and services for the charter industry. This four-day event is dedicated exclusively to yacht charter professionals such as agents, owners, brokers, and captains.
Cannes Yachting Festival
The Cannes Yachting Festival has been scheduled as usual in September when the summer season in the Mediterranean is coming to an end. We have no postponements or delays news in the preparation of the event which therefore remains fixed from 7 to 12 September 2021.
This festival welcomes every year an excellent offer of boats distributed in the two main Cannes ports.
