The Bosphorus Boat Show, taking place from October 17–25, 2026, will welcome visitors at Ataköy Marina, one of Istanbul’s most prestigious marina locations.
Located in the heart of Istanbul’s European side, Ataköy is preparing to offer a unique fair experience for maritime enthusiasts with its modern marina lifestyle, advanced transportation network, and coastal atmosphere.
Situated in the Bakırköy district, Ataköy Marina is not only Istanbul’s third-largest marina but also stands out for its proximity to international air, land, and sea transportation networks. Thanks to Istanbul Airport, intercity transportation links, Marmaray, metro, and metrobus lines, both local and international visitors can easily reach the fairgrounds. Additionally, the hotels, restaurants, shopping areas, and coastal walking paths around the marina offer visitors a delightful Istanbul atmosphere beyond the fair experience.
The Ataköy Marina waterfront, with its pristine sea views, yacht marina culture, and modern living spaces, creates an ideal setting for one of the maritime industry’s most significant gatherings. Throughout the fair, visitors will have the opportunity to explore the industry’s latest marine vessels while also experiencing Istanbul’s coastal lifestyle.
There are also many notable spots to explore around Ataköy Marina for fair visitors. For those looking to take a stroll with a view of the sea, Ataköy Beach offers a pleasant route, while visitors seeking dining and entertainment options can explore the marina area and popular destinations like Capacity AVM. For history and culture enthusiasts, the Florya Atatürk Seaside Mansion and Baruthane Public Garden, located just a short distance away, offer alternative routes for those wishing to explore Istanbul’s coastal culture.
Thanks to Ataköy Marina’s central location, robust transportation infrastructure, and surrounding social spaces, the Bosphorus Boat Show will be more than just a trade fair for participants and visitors; it will serve as a special gathering place offering the opportunity to experience Istanbul’s life intertwined with the sea.
