ROME (ITALPRESS) – Italy’s great boating industry returns to Fort Lauderdale for the 2024 Boat Show – Flibs to launch the 65th edition of the Genoa Boat Show (Sept. 18-23, 2025) and explain the beautiful, well-made and technologically advanced products that make Made in Italy boats the best-selling in the world.To celebrate the Boat Show at Flibs, the formula of a convivial and business event was chosen, with a double initiative organized by the Italian Trade Agency Miami (the office sectorally responsible for boating in the U.S.). It was once again an opportunity to consolidate the strong Italian participation, with 18 companies present in the most important nautical showcase in the United States. The States is the first market for Italy, and in 2023 another export record was broken, with $691 million, representing a 20 percent growth over 2022 (which was already a record year). “The Boat Show is a perfect format, a true sector brand, because Italian boating is the quintessence of Made in Italy. Everything in one product: technology, design, materials, together with performance, innovation, style and trends,” said Carlo Angelo Bocchi, director of Ice’s Miami office. “This year marks the tenth consecutive year of double-digit growth in Italian sales, and we are once again celebrating the important collaboration between boating and design, as demonstrated by that between the Genoa Boat Show and the Milan Furniture Show,” he added.”Although the trend has changed globally over the course of 2024, with a normalization of industry growth and a more evident differentiation of dynamics between high-end products and small boats, the performance of key international benchmark events-such as our Genoa Boat Show and Flibs-will be able to calibrate market trends for the 2024/2025 nautical year. In a continuing context of complex external economic scenarios, at the level of the Italian industry, the outlook for the future nevertheless remains positive overall,” stressed Stefano Pagani Isnardi, director of the Confindustria Nautica Studies Office.(ITALPRESS).-Photo: Gp Communications-
