Genoa to host 3rd European Sustainable Boating Roundtable Genoa will host the 3rd European
Sustainable Boating Roundtable on September 19, during the Genoa International Boat Show (September 18- 23), organised by Confindustria Nautica, Italy’s marine industry association.
The roundtable will serve as “a key forum for dialogue on the sector’s sustainability and long-term competitiveness,” according to a joint statement from European Boating Industry (EBI) and Confindustria Nautica. It aims to highlight the strategic importance of the boating industry for regional economies, the sector’s contribution to trade stability, and how EU policy can support the sector’s long-term economic sustainability and competitiveness.
Brussels-based EBI and Confindustria Nautica announced that the roundtable will bring together industry and EU leaders at 3pm in the Forum Hall at the Genoa International Boat Show.
African Boating Conference set to run in tandem with the Cape Town Boat Show The African Boating Conference 21/22 October 2025 is gaining even more momentum
with the revitalised Cape Town Boat Show set to follow immediately after the conference on 24/26 October, creating a powerful week-long showcase of Africa’s marine industry.
The African Boating Conference, the continent’s inaugural industry conference and South Africa’s flagship boat show will run in tandem — a strategic alignment that promises to draw delegates, exhibitors, and stakeholders from across the region and beyond. The boat show at the V&A Waterfront, will directly follow the African Boating Conference, offering attendees a unique opportunity to transition from high-level dialogue into real-time market engagement.

PT Marina Development Indonesia (MDI), in collaboration with PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Pelindo), officially broke ground on Bali Benoa Marina recently. As Indonesia’s first full- service international yacht marina, the landmark development marks a pivotal step in positioning Bali as Southeast Asia’s premier yacht destination.
The Ministry of Tourism of the Republic of Indonesia describes the project as a key driver in Indonesia’s transition from mass tourism to high-value, sustainable travel. Bali Benoa Marina aims to enhance the visitor experience, stimulate local economic growth, expand marine tourism offerings and strengthen Indonesia’s position on the global yachting map as part of the Bali Maritime Tourism Hub master plan.
Transport Canada urges boating safety as preventable deaths persist Despite being largely preventable,
nearly 100 Canadians die in boating incidents each year, 80% without wearing a lifejacket, says Transport Canada. Boating safety officers stress the importance of key precautions: always wear a properly fitted lifejacket, never boat under the influence, check weather conditions, file a sail plan, and carry a valid Pleasure Craft Operator Card. Officials emphasize that cold water shock is a serious risk year-round in Canada, making lifejackets essential. “It could save your life,” said B.C. safety officer Michele Fung.
“The development of Bali Benoa Marina marks a pivotal moment in Indonesia’s transition toward upscale, sustainable tourism,” says Widiyanti Putri Wardhana, Minister of Tourism of the Republic of Indonesia. “By embracing world-class marine infrastructure, we are not only enhancing our appeal to global yachting communities but also creating new economic opportunities for our coastal regions. This project aligns closely with our flagship agenda of upscaling Indonesia’s tourism profile through high-value, experience- based travel. We believe that marine tourism – rooted in our rich maritime heritage – can be one of Indonesia’s strongest offerings on the global tourism stage.”
