Music, sea and lifestyle: the Barcelona Boat Show expands its experience through new partnerships
The Barcelona International Boat Show 2026 continues to evolve its proposal and takes a step beyond traditional boating.
Alongside the addition of new brands from the sector, the event is now announcing another key alliance: a partnership with the BlauMarí festival, bringing music and culture into the heart of the event.
A combination that reinforces the show’s positioning as a platform for business, experience and international projection.
The sea, music and Barcelona: how the alliance between BlauMarí and the Boat Show was born
The Barcelona Boat Show joins as sponsor of BlauMarí Music Port Vell, the new festival taking place from June 10 to 28 at Port Vell in Barcelona, aiming to become one of the city’s most unique music events.
Its biggest differentiator:
👉 a stage set over the sea with Barcelona as its backdrop, an unprecedented concept that connects directly with the Mediterranean identity of the event.
The festival will feature top national and international artists including:
UB40 feat. Ali Campbell, The Cardigans, Gipsy Kings (by André Reyes), Alan Parsons, Rufus Wainwright and La Traviata, among others.
For the Barcelona Boat Show, this collaboration is based on a clear alignment of values:
- The connection with the sea
- The nautical experience
- The bond with the city
- And Barcelona’s international projection
In the words of its director, Josep Antoni Llopart:
“This collaboration naturally connects our event, the leading boat show in Spain, with a top-level cultural proposal in an environment that fully embodies Barcelona’s Mediterranean identity. The show and the festival strengthen each other and help position Barcelona as an international capital of boating, culture and sea-related experiences.”
