Marine leisure startup B-Craft will participate in the Venice Boat Show (Salone Nautico Venezia) for the first time from May 29 to June 2, 2025, showcasing their luxury tender.

This marks the company’s debut as an in-water exhibitor, where it will showcase its flagship model, the Akoya, in one of Europe’s most iconic maritime settings.

Held at the historic Arsenale, the Venice Boat Show brings together leading boatbuilders and maritime brands from across the world.

As a city with a deep-rooted naval legacy and host of the World Superyacht Awards, Venice provides an ideal backdrop for B-Craft to introduce the Akoya to an international audience.

The Akoya is a luxury tender and performance dayboat, designed to meet the needs of both leisure cruising and watersports. During the show, visitors will have the opportunity to tour the vessel at the dock and take part in sea trials.

The Akoya is equipped with a number of patented systems developed in-house by B-Craft, aimed at delivering a smooth, high-performance experience without compromising comfort or aesthetics.

“For our first in-water event, we wanted a location that reflects the Akoya’s dual personality, timeless elegance with a focus on innovation,” said Joris, Co-Founder of B-Craft.

To mark this milestone, B-Craft is also hosting a special giveaway. Visitors to the stand can enter to win a pair of custom waterskis by explaining why they should be selected. The winner will be announced on the final day of the event.

“This show is an important step for B-Craft as we grow our presence in Europe,” said Roeland, Co-Founder and CEO. “We designed the Akoya around the concept of versatility, merging luxury design with genuine sports performance. This giveaway is a small way to share that spirit with attendees.”

B-Craft will be located in Piazzale della Campanella, pier P2, stand C18.
