Uiva Flytande (Helsinki in-water boat show), the largest in‑water boat show in the Nordic area, will bring the region’s boating season to a conclusion when it takes place later this month.
More than 250 boats are set to fill Yacht Club HSK’s marina in Lauttasaari, Helsinki, from 14–17 August 2025 with around 30 boat premieres — both motorboats and sailing craft.
“This line-up highlights both the vigorous domestic boat development and the interest of international manufacturers in the Finnish market,” explained Jarkko Pajusalo, CEO of Finnish Marine Industries Federation Finnboat.
“Boat sales have notably increased the number of vessels in use — even if registrations don’t reflect it completely — thanks to many unused inventory boats being sold and put into service this year.
“Sales of used boats are also exceptionally brisk, significantly outperforming last year’s figures.”

Among the new craft on display will be six models on the Suvi stand, alongside five new boats from Silver – known for its alufiber boats.
Yamaha’s stand will feature three new AMT models along with a selection of Yamaha jet boats and YAM inflatables equipped with Torqeedo electric outboards.
This year’s biggest motor yachts on display include models such as the Princess F50, Galeon 470 Sky, and the Delta Powerboats 48 Coupé, representing the luxury end of the Nordic boat market.
Fishing enthusiasts can explore the new AMT 175 Pro Fishing, along with the Buster XXL Fish presented by fishing guide Jani Ollikainen.
Versatile small motorboats
At the Veneilijän Verkkokauppa stand, visitors can also discover the Finval 595 DC Fishpro.
“As usual, the majority of boats at Uiva are versatile small motorboats favored for everyday use in Finland – a country of thousands of lakes and tens of thousands of islands,” continued Jarkko.
“These multi-purpose boats are typically around five meters long and equipped with outboard engines, used for everything from island commuting and day trips to fishing and transport between summer homes.”
Sailing simulator
Other show highlights will include interviews of key figures in the boating world from the docks, the opportunity to have a go at sailing with sailing teachers association PORY, flyboard and freestyle jetski performances.
Children can also try Optimist dinghies and test their skills on a sailing simulator.
On the Thursday, the programme stage will host a panel discussion on Helsinki’s maritime strategy.
The exhibition area at HSK marina will also feature a range of products and services from apparel and boating electronics to heaters, spare parts, and services across the marine industry.
