The Polish Chamber of Marine Industry and Water Sports (POLBOAT) – established in Warsaw in 2006. The founding members were one hundred businesses in manufacturing, services, water tourism and sports. The months-long efforts of a group of people, including many members of the Polish Yachting Association, culminated in the success and establishment of a higher organisational form, a chamber of commerce. POLBOAT actively supports exporters by promoting the products and services of its members in foreign markets. It works to integrate the business community in the yacht building industry and represents their interests before government institutions and local authorities.

Between 2024 and 2029, the Polish Investment and Trade Agency has been implementing a programme to promote the specialised watercrafts, yachts and boats sector. The initiative is part of the project ‘Internationalisation of SMEs – Brand HUB’, financed by EU funds under the European Funds for Smart Economy 2021-2027 programme.

The goal of the programme is to dynamically promote the Polish yachting industry on key international markets – by presenting the offer of Polish companies, establishing B2B contacts and building Poland’s position as a manufacturer of innovative solutions for the specialised watercrafts, yachts and boats sector.

The programme focuses on supporting SMEs seeking foreign trade, technology and investment partners. Promotional activities include:

• Journalist missions to Poland – press trips for international media representatives, enabling foreign journalists to learn about the sector’s technological potential and the wide range of products offered by Polish manufacturers.
• Polish pavilions at major international trade fairs,
