This event is known for its extensive exhibitions, covering a wide range of products and services. This includes everything from ship equipment and technologies to solutions for salvage, refurbishment, and ship reconstruction. The offering is complemented by a diverse program featuring shows and lectures, the Significant Boats Awards, demonstrations, and special presentations.

A particular highlight is the "Significant Boats Awards," where ships are recognized for being groundbreaking in their category or participating in unique missions. These awards emphasize the role of the fair as a center for innovation and recognition in the maritime industry. The International WorkBoat Show is further enhanced by the annual Submarine Symposium, which discusses topics such as new vehicles and technologies, global diving operations, research and expeditions, submarine rescue systems, advanced underwater technology, and advanced acrylic materials.
