Before you book
What you actually need to know about METSTRADE.
The world's largest trade show for marine equipment, materials and superyacht refit — a specialist, high-value B2B audience.
Traffic & timing
Buyers here travel specifically for this show and plan their route across RAI's halls in advance — being listed clearly in the show's own exhibitor-planning tools matters as much as physical stand visibility.
Key deadlines
Plan backwards from move-in.
Oversized equipment floor loading
Confirm floor loading and crane/rigging access with RAI Amsterdam at least 8 weeks out.
Multi-hall wayfinding consistency
Finalise a shared signage system 5 weeks ahead if exhibiting across more than one hall.
Finish-quality sign-off
Approve luxury-grade materials and finishes 6 weeks out, given the superyacht-sector audience.
Watch-outs
RAI Amsterdam, not a generic hall.
Underrating finish expectations
Superyacht-sector buyers benchmark against luxury retail, not industrial trade-fair standards — visible budget finishes stand out for the wrong reason.
No rigging plan for oversized equipment
Large marine equipment needs crane access and floor loading confirmed well ahead of move-in, not discovered on arrival.
Inconsistent branding across halls
Multi-hall exhibitors who treat each hall as a separate stand lose the cross-hall recognition serious buyers are relying on to find them.
Skipping the exhibitor-planning tools
Buyers plan their show route in advance — an incomplete exhibitor listing means being planned around, not planned in.
Built for this floor before
What we've built for mixed industry exhibitors.
Sterling Marine Outfitters
A luxury-grade stand built across two RAI halls as one identity
Sterling exhibits oversized equipment across two METSTRADE halls. We built a consistent wayfinding and materials system between both, engineered for the floor loading their equipment needed.
One recognisable identity across two halls, with zero equipment-loading issues on move-in.

Frequently asked
METSTRADE, answered.
Can you handle oversized or heavy equipment display?
Yes, floor loading and rigging access are planned into every METSTRADE build.
Can the stand match a luxury or superyacht finish level?
Yes, we bring the same materials discipline we use for high-end retail and hospitality interiors.
Do you design for consistency across multiple RAI halls?
Yes, if you're exhibiting in more than one hall we design one system that carries across all of them.
Exhibiting elsewhere too?
More fairs we build for.
