Scottish Skipper Expo 2026

The biennial event, which is a firm fixture in the commercial fishing calendar, will once again take place at the P&J Live in Aberdeen on 7th and 8th May 2026.

Following a two-year break, anticipation is building across the industry for this much-valued opportunity to reconnect, do business, and reaffirm the strength and resilience of the fishing sector. Exhibitor demand is already strong, and the initial allocation of space is being prioritised for returning companies.

Amongst those confirmed to return are several key names from across the international fishing industry. From Denmark, FF Skagen, Atlantic Shipping, and Karstensens Shipyard will be joining the exhibitor line-up, along with strong representation from Scotland including Peterhead Port Authority and Fraserburgh Harbour Commissioners. From further afield, Zamakona Shipyard of Spain makes a welcome return, while Ireland’s Seaquest Systems is also confirmed, with many more to be announced in the coming months.

The general floor plan will be released to our standby list from 1st September 2025, and interested companies are encouraged to contact Sharon Boyle directly to register their interest and secure a place on the list.

Sharon Boyle, Commercial Fishing Sales Manager, commented: “Scottish Skipper Expo remains a key event for showcasing the very best of commercial fishing products, services, and innovation. We’re delighted by the early commitment from returning exhibitors and encourage any new companies interested in joining us to reach out early.”

In preparation for welcoming a broad and international visitor base, Sharon will also attend Danfish International this October to further promote Scottish Skipper Expo 2026 and encourage visitor attendance from across Europe.
