The overall increase in attendance was up 10% and 6% respectively when compared to 2023, the previous historic high-water mark. Attendance records were surpassed on each of the three days for this strictly trade-only show.

Metstrade built further on its depth and breadth of activities for the whole industry this year. A sell-out edition of The Superyacht Forum held under Metstrade’s management for the first time, hosted 700 delegates. The premier appearance of the co-located Yacht Racing Forum in partnership with World Sailing, provided a new focal point for cutting-edge sailing.
