METSTRADE 2026 Amsterdam
17 — 19 November 2026RAI Amsterdam · Amsterdam · Netherlands
Global yacht-industry partnerships, private aviation and executive concierge by Lund Group.
Trade-only marine industry
Yachting is an ecosystem.
A yacht is never created, operated or sold by one company. Behind every yacht is an international network of shipyards, designers, engineers, suppliers, marinas, refit specialists, managers, captains, brokers, finance, insurance and legal specialists.
METSTRADE brings that ecosystem together in Amsterdam. For Lund Group, the objective is simple: build stronger relationships, find better partners, discover new solutions, create new business and expand the network behind every yacht client we serve.
Three days. Thousands of connections. The right ones matter.
METSTRADE is not a consumer yacht show. Lund Group uses the week to build relationships across the global B2B leisure marine industry.
