Interactive show map for boat show organisers

Your show, as an interactive map on every visitor's phone.

The YachtWay Show Map is an interactive map: visitors search, tap any stand and get walking directions. It puts all exhibitors, brands and boats on one live map, then walks visitors to the stand. No app to download. Tested at a five-day show in Fort Lauderdale, October 2026.

For exhibitors

Let exhibitors make their stand pop.

Exhibitors can buy a highlight. Their stand shows in their own brand color on every visitor's map, so it is the first one people see.
