Barelona, Spain (PRWEB) November 3, 2009 -- Sailing fans from across Europe are set to descend on Spain next month for the annual Barcelona International Boat Show.

Taking place from November 7th until November 15th, the event - which is now in its 48th year - showcases a range of vessels and equipment from the world's premier shipbuilders and nautical supplies companies.

The event is held across two venues - Port Vell and Gran Via in the city - and features more than 200 different activities, with highlights including an exhibition of sustainable development projects in the marine industry and a collection of images charting the Spanish navy's 20-year presence in Antarctica.

Some of the organisations set to display their exhibits at this year's show include B2 Marine, Babi-Baby Nautic, Sealine International and Top Boats Sotogrande, with more than 35 different countries represented.

The venues will be divided into several different areas. Visitors interested in kayaking, wakeboarding, canoeing and surfing can head to the Beach Fun Zone, while those who prefer to take their sailing at a more leisurely pace can glance around the Traditional Marine area, where they will find carpentry shops and fishing gear on offer.

Those planning to stay in hotels in Barcelona(http://www.laterooms.com/en/k15765562_barcelona-hotels.aspx) may be interested to learn that exhibition areas are open daily, with passes starting from ten euros (£9).
