Scottish Skipper Expo 2026 – Aberdeen
Excitement is already building for the Scottish Skipper Expo 2026, which returns to P&J Live, Aberdeen on Thursday 7th and Friday 8th May 2026. We will be exhibiting on stand E15.
Held every two years, the Scottish Skipper Expo has firmly established itself as one of the most respected commercial fishing exhibitions in the UK and Ireland. Since its launch in 2011, the show has continued to grow in both scale and reputation, offering a focused platform for the commercial fishing and marine sector.
The 2026 event is shaping up to be another standout year, with over 130 exhibition stands already sold and six vessels confirmed for display. The show provides a unique opportunity for suppliers and manufacturers to connect directly with vessel owners, skippers, fleet managers and key decision-makers from across the industry.
Exhibitors benefit from high-quality, face-to-face engagement with a knowledgeable visitor base, supported by strong promotional activity through The Skipper magazine, online features and active social media coverage in the lead-up to the event. This targeted exposure makes Scottish Skipper Expo a key date in the calendar for companies operating in the commercial marine and fishing sectors.
