SHERIDAN, WYOMING - December 18, 2025 - A new B2B-focused nautical event, the Napoli Boat Show (NBS), will debut from March 18-22, 2026 at Marina di Stabia in Castellammare di Stabia, positioning itself as a "Boutique Boat Show" built around a simple commercial premise: every boat on display is ready to sail, and sea trials are the norm rather than the exception.

A "Ready-to-Sea" exhibition model built for sales conversations
Unlike traditional dockside showcases, NBS is designed to reverse exhibition logic by putting on-water testing at the center of the buying process.

Obesity Dealflow Enters a More Competitive, High-Stakes Phase
