The mission of the association is to bring together boating companies under one roof and to promote their operations and healthy competition, as well as to promote boating and boating safety in our country. The main focus of the activities is on exhibitions in the field. The organizer of the Helsinki International Boat Show is Osuuskunta Suomen Messus and Finnboat is the sponsor of the fair. In August each year, Finnboat also organizes an in-water boat show in Helsinki.
In addition to exhibition activities, it is worth mentioning the following:
Finnboatin toimistoa johtaa toimitusjohtaja Jarkko Pajusalo apunaan toimistopäällikkö Tiina Krooks sekä toimistoassistentti Katri Koskinen. Toimisto sijaitsee Helsingissä Sörnäisten kaupunginosassa.
The highest decision-making body of the union is its meeting, which meets twice a year. At the meeting of the association, the voting rights are exercised by the representatives of the federal meetings of the associations, who are elected at the associations' own annual meetings.
In addition to the chairman and two vice-chairmen, the board of the association has 13 members who represent the boards of various associations. The Board carries out the tasks assigned to it by the associations at its meetings. The CEO of the association works under the Board, who in turn carries out the tasks assigned to him by the Board.
Varsinaisen toimistotyön lisäksi toteutetaan Finnboatin useissa työryhmissä monia jäsenyhdistysten antamia toimeksiantoja.
