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.

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.

Attending the Skipper 2024 Exhibition was once again a fantastic experience for Fraserburgh. We had valuable conversations with customers and explored exciting new opportunities. Sharon and her team did an outstanding job organizing the event, making it essential to our calendar. We’re already looking forward to seeing everyone again at the 2026 show

Brdr Markussens were an exhibitor at this year’s show and overall the show was a resounding success for us. We had the opportunity to meet both current and potential new customers over the course of the two days. A fantastic show over the course of the two days.
