New dates, location for Viareggio show

The organisers of the Versilia Yachting Rendez-vous have announced that next year’s edition will be held from May 28-31, taking up a more strategic position on the calendar of nautical-related events.

VYR 2020 will also have a new location: starting from Via Coppino it will extend to Viareggio Dock, a body of water better suited to the hosting of larger yachts with deeper draughts.

These are the first new details to emerge regarding the fourth edition of the Versilia Yachting Rendez-vous, which attracted more than 22,000 visitors to Viareggio last May – 10,000 of whom were professional operators.

According to the organisers, the change of date is the result of “growing interest in the show” and allows VYR to promote itself as the only spring exhibition dedicated to the nautical world.

As for the new location, it is better equipped to welcome the yachts and megayachts that can be more easily hosted within the VYR exhibition circuit. In addition, the piers, wider and better structured, will make for a more flowing path through the exhibition, that extends around the perimeter of the dock and allows for additional services and facilities to be provided to visitors.
