Used boat show in Aprilia Marittima

From Saturday, October 24th, to Sunday, November the 1st, few kilometres from the beach of Lignano Sabbiadoro, takes place Nautilia, the most important used boat exhibition in Europe.

For the 22nd consecutive year, the district of Aprilia Marittima opens the doors to this important event that draws several brokers and visitors from Italy and from foreign countries, generating big revenues throughout the period of the exhibition. Thanks to the special market of used boats, Nautilia has carved a prominent place in the panorama of Italian and European boat shows. Nautilia doesn’t compete with the biggest and most famous exhibitions, but it turns to a specific market, that of used boats.

From October 24th to November the 1st, in Aprilia Marittima there will be about fifty brokers and exhibitors, ready to show to the visitors hundreds of boats from 7 to 20 meters long, all displayed on land. The exhibition on land is the second important feature of Nautilia, that differentiates it from all other Italian nautical exhibitions. Thanks to the gangways, visitors can completely check the used boats, also rudders and propellers. The used boat exhibition offers a wide variety of boats: it considers that about 20% will be sailing boats, 75% motor boats and the remaining 5% motorsailers.

This year the “Ente Fiera Cantieri di Aprilia” enlarged the exhibition space through a redevelopment of the areas, offering in this way the opportunity to show more boats. Aprilia Marittima becomes for two weeks a very important meeting point for yachtsmen and shipowners from all over Europe and thanks to this event it can show the peculiarity of its district: respect for the beautiful environmental characteristics with the presence of modern nautical infrastructures.

In Aprilia Marittima it is possible to spend both a quiet and relaxing stay in a natural environment, and more active holiday with a lot of sport and fun. Besides, its location allows to reach in few minutes Lignano Sabbiadoro by car or by boat and so to spend beautiful days on the beach.

Also this summer season is nearing the end and the team of the Hotel Croce di Malta in Lignano Pineta take the opportunity to say good-bye and to thank all tourists that accommodated in the hotel.

Despite the crisis, the seaside resort hasn’t show particular falls, indeed, early data show a good steady flow of tourists and prolonged until the first 10 days of September. Thanks to the good and warm weather, the beach of Lignano had a large crowd for several week ends, including the first week end of September. Both the beach of Sabbiadoro than the beach of Pineta were crowded with tourists and commuters, that took advantage of good weather for one last day on the beach.

Also the balance of the hotels in Lignano is positive, with an average attendance rather good. The months of July and August have had a very good performance, with peaks of attendance in Lignano that have balanced the weak June. During this month, because of bad weather with different rainfalls and not summer temperatures, hoteliers record a rather worrying decrease, recovered in the next months.

Until the first 10 days of September the sun was shining, but then are coming the first storms and a low temperature, that caused the end of the tourist season in the seaside resort. Now, shops and hotels in Lignano close and after a short period of winter rest, they will begin to get ready to the next summer season with new services and modern facilities.
