Irish Skipper Expo 2025

With all exhibition stands now sold out, attendees can expect a wide range of commercial fishing gear and products, from creels to trawls, all under one roof. A special Boat Mart outside the venue will showcase five vessels, including models from G Smyth Boats, Kenbro Boats, Ryan and Roberts, and Audacious Marine. Inside, O’Sullivan’s Marine will display another vessel, bringing the total to six boats on display.

Sharon Boyle, Commercial Fishing Manager for the event organiser, Mara Media, said, “We’ve seen huge interest in this year’s event, especially after our announcement to host one show per year. We’re excited to bring together both  fresh faces and loyal exhibitors to create an outstanding showcase of industry products.”

In addition to the exhibitors, the National Inshore Fishermen’s Association (NIFA) will be offering freshly prepared seafood for visitors to sample. There will also be ample networking opportunities, with the Show Reception at The Terrace on Friday evening, following the Expo’s close. Sponsored by SeaQuest Systems, Mooney Boats, and G Smyth Boats, this reception offers exhibitors and guests a chance to unwind and connect.

Visitor registration is now open, allowing free entry and quicker access to the event. With pre-registration, visitors can avoid queues and dive straight into exploring the show.
