The Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Public Works, Chris Bonett expressed his enthusiasm about the potential of the event. “Malta has always been synonymous with the sea, and this area is an important economic pillar for our country.

We are looking forward to seeing The Malta Boat Show grow and attract international recognition so that we can continue to position Malta as the destination of choice for the international maritime community,” said the Minister.
Bormla, the chosen location, has historical significance and maritime heritage. Our country’s geographical position in the Mediterranean serves as a center of nautical activity and The Malta Boat Show seeks to build on that legacy by fostering connections between industry leaders, boating enthusiasts, and maritime professionals. .
