Show marine professionals at Metstrade why your product, material or service matters for boatbuilding, maintenance and innovation.
Metstrade is an international trade fair for the leisure marine industry. The event takes place from 17 to 19 November 2026 at RAI Amsterdam and brings together professionals working with marine equipment, materials, systems, yacht building, superyachts, marinas, yards, foiling technology and nautical services.
On the exhibition floor, manufacturers, suppliers, designers, distributors, shipyards, marina operators, equipment specialists, buyers and international decision-makers meet each other. Visitors come to discover new products, better materials, smart systems, reliable suppliers and developments that help move the boating and yacht building sector forward.
For exhibitors, Metstrade is an important moment to gain international visibility in a specialist B2B market. Visitors want to assess quickly where your solution fits in the chain: from construction and finishing to comfort, safety, technology, maintenance or marina design. A strong exhibition stand helps make that value clear.
At Metstrade, many products are specialist components within a larger system or project. A visitor does not only want to know what you offer, but also how the product performs in practice: on board, in a marina, during refit, in production or over long-term use on the water. Make the main application clear from the start and show which type of customer your solution is most relevant for.
Also think carefully about scale and detail. Some products need close-up presentation, such as fittings, materials, electronics or finishing parts. Other solutions are better explained through a project case, technical drawing, demonstration or screen presentation. When your stand first gives visitors the full picture and then allows them to explore the details, conversations become much easier for your team.
For stand construction at Metstrade, you need an exhibition stand that combines technical content, product quality and brand appearance with care. The leisure marine industry is international, specialist and strongly focused on finishing, reliability and innovation. Your stand should feel professional, while also working well for product presentation, conversations and international meetings.
Making Events helps translate your product, material or service into a stand that visitors can understand quickly. We look at your audience, product category, stand space and the way visitors should experience your solution. Routing, product carriers, displays, lighting, storage, hospitality and spaces for business conversations are all included in the concept. The execution is prepared with the same attention to detail. Think of design, production, transport, build-up and dismantling. This results in a stand that matches the quality of your brand and the professional environment of Metstrade.
Modular Expo is suitable for companies that regularly attend marine trade fairs, dealer events, international exhibitions or product presentations. You work with a stand foundation that can be reused and adjusted per event to match new products, markets or campaigns.
For Metstrade, a modular stand can be arranged with changeable visuals, product walls, material presentations, screens and meeting areas. Your brand remains recognisable, while each fair can highlight different applications, innovations or product lines.
Next Day Expo suits exhibitors who need a professional stand solution quickly. You choose a practical foundation with clear options, short communication lines and a polished appearance.
For Metstrade, this can be interesting for compact participation, a focused product introduction or a stand where visibility and conversations are central. You receive a neat presentation for branding, product information and contact moments without a long design process.
Custom Expo gives you room to present your marine product, material or brand world fully in your own way. This is valuable when appearance, finishing and experience play a major role in how visitors assess your offer.
For Metstrade, custom construction can be used for product displays, material tables, integrated screens, superyacht presentations, hospitality, storage or separate meeting areas. This gives your stand an appearance that matches the quality and positioning of your organisation.
Pavilion Expo is suitable when several companies, brands, regions or partners participate together. You create one recognisable environment in which each participant still keeps their own place.
At Metstrade, this can work well for country pavilions, marine clusters, distributors with several brands, innovation programmes or collaborations between suppliers, yards and service providers. With a clear layout, visitors can easily see which solution or partner is relevant to them.
In the marine industry, material choice, lifespan and efficient use play an important role. You can bring that same thinking into your exhibition stand. A stand foundation that can be used more often fits organisations that have several trade fairs, dealer presentations or international events on their calendar.
Making Events thinks along with you about modular structures, reusable presentation walls, sturdy product carriers and visuals that can be replaced easily. The stand can also be built so new product lines, materials or project cases can be added later. This creates an exhibition stand that fits Metstrade and continues to hold value for future moments when you want to present your marine solution professionally.
The cost of a stand for Metstrade depends on the stand surface, desired appearance and the way you want to present your product or service. A compact product stand requires different choices than a larger presentation with material samples, screens, hospitality, storage and several meeting areas.
The nature of your offer also matters. A technical component, luxury finishing material, marina solution, service concept or superyacht application each asks for a different layout. Product carriers, lighting, furniture, signage, power, transport and build-up planning all play a role. For stand construction at Metstrade, we create a proposal based on your product, audience, trade fair goal and budget. This shows which elements are needed and where custom construction, reuse or a smart product presentation can add the most value.

From a compact product presentation to a larger stand with material samples, hospitality or a shared partner setup, Making Events makes sure your participation is carefully prepared and professionally delivered on the exhibition floor.
That depends on your product and trade fair goal. For compact participation, a clear product stand with visuals and conversation space can be enough. If you want to show materials, systems, samples or several applications, a larger layout with separate zones often works better.

The budget depends on the presentation your marine solution needs. Stand surface, material choices, finish, product presentation, furniture, visuals, transport and build-up all influence the total cost. A compact product stand will differ from a larger setup with material samples, meeting areas or custom displays. We create a tailored proposal based on your trade fair goal, audience and budget.
