Strong shortlist announced for Boat Builder Awards 2025

After a busy consumer boat show season, the Metstrade team is reflecting on Monaco Yacht Show. This show is unique in its exclusivity, with a limited visitor base of ultra-high net worth VIPs who are able to buy many of the €50m+ yachts on display. It is such a critical show for selling yachts to these typically unreachable clients that boat builders are laser-focused on this objective – and anything else is a distraction from this.

From Monaco to Amsterdam: Connecting the superyacht industry at Metstrade

IBEX has been a strategic partner of Metstrade for some years now, and due to the similarities, we always collaborate to share best practices and strategies to make each event valuable. But there are key differences, and many reasons why attending both shows is important.

The autumn boat show season is a critical indicator of the current state of the market and future outlook. Metstrade serves as a key moment for many industry stakeholders to reflect and regroup after a busy season of international boat shows when there is a clear picture of order book volume and boat builders are ready to start exploring new partnerships and innovations.

Taking place around the annual three-day show at RAI Amsterdam from 18-20 November, the events will cater for the unique segments within the leisure marine industry, from superyacht, coatings and yacht racing.  The events are organised by Metstrade and industry partners, and include established events, such as The Superyacht Forum, as well as new additions for 2025 to encompass more of the leisure marine market.

Metstrade further expands with additional side events for different industry segments

The next edition of the superyacht sector’s must-attend event (17-18 November 2025) announces its strong agenda tackling the industry’s forthcoming challenges and opportunities through brilliantly curated content, top class speakers, industry-renowned panellists and excellent networking opportunities.

‘NXT’ step for The Superyacht Forum in 2025

Metstrade, taking place in Amsterdam from 18-20 November, has announced its stage and content programme which has been carefully curated to respond to the most pressing topics across all segments of the leisure marine industry. The Metstrade Stage continues to be centred at the heart of the show in Hall 13, providing three days of insightful sessions and discussions, whilst a dedicated North America stage provides key learnings and trends from the US and Canadian markets. Within the expanded Superyacht Zone is a stage covering specific topics for this thriving segment. Additionally, sessions will be held at the Young Professionals Club and on the Foiling Stage within the Foiling Technology Zone.

This year’s Metstrade, the world's largest trade exhibition for the leisure marine industry, will be the biggest show yet, completely taking over the RAI Amsterdam complex with new and expanded zones and conferences. One zone that will benefit from this is the Construction Materials Zone with greater prominence in a new location in Hall 11.
