22/10/2009
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.
