The International Pleasure Boat Show is being organised for the fifth time this year! It is the largest exposition of boats on water in Lithuania. Up to 40 different pleasure boats will be on display in Castle Harbour at the Cruise Ship Terminal! This event is for everyone who shares a passion for ships, sails and waves.

BOAT SHOW will present the latest innovations of Lithuanian and foreign recreational boat builders and sellers. In addition, exceptional historic boats will be on display.

Visitors to the exhibition can enjoy excursions around the ships – from small boats to real houses on the water, meetings with the creators, captains and traveller Aurimas Mockums, educational workshops, photo sessions on sailing ships and entertainment for the whole family.

EUR 1 from every ticket sold will be donated to the preservation of the ship “Kuršis” by traveller Aurimas Mockus.
