The Nautilia used boat show offers a special opportunity to view used boats over two weekends in October. From 18 to 20 and 24 to 26 October, the Aprilia shipyards will be presenting a selection of over 300 used boats. The selection ranges from large yachts from 15 metres to smaller boats between 6 and 10 metres in length.
A special feature of Nautilia is the presentation of the boats on land. This form of exhibition offers prospective buyers an advantage: they can inspect the condition of the boats in detail, even below the waterline. The possibility of inspecting the hull and propeller, as well as the through-hulls, out of the water makes sales negotiations much easier. Potential buyers thus save the costs of the otherwise advisable uncraning of the boat. A test drive should nevertheless be arranged before the contract is signed.
In addition to used boats, Nautilia also offers stands for nautical accessories. There, visitors will find everything they need to equip and personalise their boats. It is also an opportunity to discover the industry's innovations and exchange ideas with experts. However, the trade fair goes beyond just the boat market. Parallel to the main event, there will be events on sustainability topics.
Nautilia enjoys the support of the Department for Regional Production Activities and Tourism as well as the patronage of the city of Latisana. It serves not only as a platform for the boat trade, but also as a showcase for the region. Visitors have the opportunity to get to know the scenic, ecological, archaeological and historical features of Latisana and the entire Friulian coast. In addition, local culinary specialities as well as products from agriculture and viticulture are presented, which are all the rage.
