At Metstrade 2026, superyacht refit the Palumbo way

Metstrade 2026, the world’s leading B2B event for the marine equipment industry, opens in a few days. It will bring together marine industry professionals at the RAI in Amsterdam from 17 to 19 November.

In recent years the show has steadily expanded the space, and the number of halls, given to superyachts.

This year the Superyacht Zone will work alongside The Superyacht Forum, and the Refit Clusters return. They will be in Halls 7 and 8, which are linked by a raised walkway. Italy and the Netherlands, the two leading superyacht-building countries, will exhibit together in Hall 7.

The Refit Clusters area in Hall 7 will host specialist manufacturers, service providers and experts. They will show solutions for yacht refit, upgrades, maintenance and lifecycle optimisation.

Captains, yacht managers and owners’ representatives will be able to see complete refit solutions for themselves. Exhibitors in this area include Lürssen, Palumbo, Damen Shipyards Group and Pendennis.

Palumbo Upfit returns to Metstrade for the first time under its new identity. The company relaunched its brand in September and then exhibited at the Monaco Yacht Show.

The Italian company will present its network of Mediterranean shipyards and its Upfit approach. This is a systemic model built on constant attention to the client, so that each yacht has continuity of support as it evolves.

Visitors will also find Palumbo Chandlery, a network of shops located inside the shipyards with an e-commerce platform that offers a selection of leading marine brands.

Palumbo Upfit staff from the Sales, Marketing, Purchasing and Crew Concierge teams will be on hand to talk with clients and suppliers about future upfit projects.
