The Boat Show is one of the largest marine events in Japan. Here, you will find the latest information on the 2024 season.
In addition to the main stage at Pacifico Yokohama, the main venue for indoor exhibits, where a variety of information will be presented daily, each village and exhibitor booth will provide the latest information on the year 2024. In addition, we will hold programs to enhance marine life, such as the annual Marine Seminar for learning about the sea in an enjoyable way, and workshops for renewing and re-issuing expired boat licenses. At the Yokohama Bayside Marina site, where moored exhibits will be the main attraction, we will introduce the attractions of the water with a theme of "See, Touch and Feel Marine," including a boat-handling experience and a hands-on program for children.
