When we picture a boat show, we usually imagine gleaming yachts on their stands. But behind every one of them stands an entire industry: construction, propulsion, equipment and design. That’s exactly what BOAT TECHNICA is about — an industry fair held on 8–11 October 2026 at Ptak Warsaw Expo in Nadarzyn near Warsaw, in parallel with Poland Boat Show.
What is BOAT TECHNICA
BOAT TECHNICA is an international trade fair for yacht construction, equipment and accessories. It’s the technical backbone of the marine industry — presenting boat construction technologies, modern propulsion, steering and stabilisation systems, as well as onboard equipment and accessories. You’ll also find transport, docking, advisory and financing solutions.
Who it’s for
Unlike the consumer side, BOAT TECHNICA is a B2B event — a meeting place for:
- shipyards and boat manufacturers,
- design and engineering offices,
- suppliers of components, propulsion and electronics,
- companies in equipment, materials and industry services.
Design — the missing link between engineering and the market
Many shipyards and engineering firms can build a technically excellent vessel — but they lack the layer that sells: design. That’s where we see our role. At DRAFTXL we combine the language of engineering with design thinking borrowed from the automotive world: we take the technical brief and translate it into an exterior and interior with character that set the product apart and raise its market value.
If you represent a shipyard, design office or engineering firm, BOAT TECHNICA is a good moment to talk about collaboration — from a one-off styling concept to ongoing creative support across successive models.
Two events, one ticket
BOAT TECHNICA runs at the same time and place as Poland Boat Show — the consumer fair for boats, yachts and water sports. Together they give a complete picture of the industry: finished vessels for clients and technology for those who build them.
Let’s meet at Ptak Warsaw Expo
DRAFTXL Yacht Design Studio designs custom yachts and supports marine companies on the design side. Want your product to stand out not only through engineering, but through form? Let’s collaborate, or explore our projects.
