Excitement is building for the Scottish Skipper Expo 2026, returning to P&J Live, Aberdeen on Thursday 7th and Friday 8th May 2026.

Held every two years, the show is already shaping up to be another outstanding event, with over 130 stands sold and six vessels confirmed for display.

Established in 2011, the Scottish Skipper Expo has become one of the most respected commercial fishing exhibitions in the UK and Ireland. It provides companies with a unique opportunity to connect directly with vessel owners, skippers, and key decision-makers from across the industry.

Exhibitors benefit from face-to-face contact with a high-quality visitor base, as well as extensive promotion through The Skipper magazine, online coverage, and active social media in the run-up to the show.

With free entry for visitors, attendance is consistently strong, ensuring an excellent return for exhibitors. The show is strategically located at P&J Live, next to Aberdeen Airport and on the doorstep of the North East’s main fishing ports of Peterhead and Fraserburgh, making it an ideal platform to showcase products, launch innovations, and strengthen business relationships.

Commenting on preparations, organiser Sharon Boyle said: “There’s a real buzz building around the 2026 show, with stand sales ahead of expectations. After the two-year break, it’s clear the industry is eager to come together again. I’d encourage anyone considering exhibiting to get in touch soon while stand positions remain available.”

Scottish Skipper Expo will once again feature the popular Show Reception at the Douglas Hotel, offering exhibitors and visitors the chance to meet in a relaxed and sociable setting — a highlight that reflects the strong community spirit of the event.
