The 63rd edition of the Genoa International Boat Show, scheduled from September 21 to 26, will feature as many as 1,043 brands, as many boats ranging in length from 2 to 40 meters, and 184 novelties. In a difficult economic environment, Italian pleasure boating boasts an ever-growing turnover that is expected to exceed 7 billion euros (6.6 billion last year) by the end of the year, with more than half coming from exports, where the sector represents an authentic flagship of Made in Italy. Saverio Cecchi, president of Confindustria Nautica, emphasized this. "Today, we lead in superyachts, pneumatic vehicles over 10 meters, and accessories. Now we want to be number one in exhibition events as well", Cecchi added.
