In just a few years, Boot Düsseldorf has become the largest boat show in the world. Every year in January, international exhibitors and visitors meet in Germany for the big boating fair. Sailboats, motorboats, equipment, superyachts, fishing, tourism, etc. All sectors are represented.
To enhance the visitor experience and satisfy exhibitors, this year's show features a new visitor route and new halls
Hall 1: Motor Yachts from 30 to 60 feet
The new Hall 1 - the former Halls 1 and 2 have been demolished - which offers 12?000 m2 of exhibition space, will this year be the venue for the exhibition of medium-sized inboard motoryachts between 30 and 60 feet (10 to 20 meters). Brands such as Jeanneau, Bénéteau, Bavaria, Sealine or Greenline will be present. Large steel trawlers from Dutch production, such as those from the Linssen yard, will also be on display in this hall.
Hall 3: Motorboats for beginners and water recreation
