Associazione Ticino Nautica
The Associazione Ticino Nautica was founded more than 20 years ago as a meeting point for Lake Maggiore boatyards, united by a passion for boating and a desire to promote the industry in the region.
Its activities gave rise to the Ticino Nautica trade show, which later evolved into the current Ascona Boat Show and is now a landmark event for boating enthusiasts in Switzerland. The event originated 20 years ago at the Port of Locarno, then moved to the Piazza Grande, later to Ascona’s Lungolago, and finally settled at the Patrician Port, where it has established itself as a must-attend event for exhibitors and visitors.

enjoy. took part in the Ascona Boat Show, bringing its contribution in the areas of gastronomy and music, with the aim of enriching the visitors’ experience in the unique setting of Lake Maggiore.
On the occasion of its 20th anniversary, it took care of the food & beverage soul of the event, proposing an offer designed to enhance conviviality and quality. The heart of the proposal was the Boat Show Restaurant, a pop-up restaurant overlooking the lake, accompanied by a street food area and a musical selection of acoustic live and DJ sets.
A participation that reflected enjoy.’s vision: to create authentic, inclusive and memorable experiences, turning leisure time into a special occasion.
