Governing all Powerboating activities, the main disciplines of the UIM are Circuit (F1, F2, F500, F4, Formula Future), Offshore (XCAT, Class 1), Pleasure Navigation, Radio-controlled boats, Aquabike (Jet ski), Solar & Electric, and MotoSurf, with the federation organizing several World Championship events.
The UIM has 64 affiliated National Federations as of January 2026. The organization has its headquarters located in Monaco, and its current president is Italy’s Raffaele Chiulli.
