Central Germany's largest water sports trade fair opens from 13 to 15 March 2026 in all three halls of Messe Magdeburg. The 25th edition of Magdeboot will bring together over 80 exhibitors from Germany and abroad. The offer ranges from inflatable paddleboards to fishing and sailing boats to motor yachts. "With new dealers and brands, the portfolio will be even more extensive than in previous years," says Johanna Buhrke, Project Manager at Messe Magdeburg. In addition to boats, the focus will be on charter offers, boat accessories, service and water tourism.
Three new exhibitors are making their debut in the motor sector: Yachthafen Potsdam is showing boats from Maxima and Whaly. The Menken boat centre from Bavaria will be presenting the Saver and Infinity brands. RaJo-Boote from North Rhine-Westphalia will also be represented for the first time. Companies such as Bootscenter B1 and Allert Marin from Werder/Havel are back again. Riomar Boats and Thalmann Boats and Yachts from Hamburg round off the range. The Johan Maasgouw Marine Centre from Maasbracht in the Netherlands will be celebrating its Magdeburg premiere with fishing boats. The dealer will be bringing along Kimple brand boats.
Neptun Yachts presents the Milan and Phantom models. Both concepts focus on comfort-orientated cruising. The sailing house presents two Beneteau models. The Beneteau First 18SE and the Beneteau First 14SE are aimed at ambitious leisure sailors and regatta beginners.
The diving and fun sports area is growing in exhibition hall 3. "Many new exhibitors offer trends, advice and equipment of all kinds here," says Johanna Buhrke. The diving tank returns and offers free taster dives directly at the trade fair. The Saxony-Anhalt State Diving Association and the Wassermann Diving Centre will be supporting the offer as long-standing partners. The exhibition area for accessories, repairs and boat-related services will be expanded in exhibition hall 2.
Open daily from 10 am to 6 pm. Tickets cost 12 euros in advance, concessions 9 euros. Tickets at the box office cost 13 euros, concessions 10 euros. Family tickets are available for 29 euros. Discounted after-work tickets are available from 3 pm.
A big prize draw is being organised to mark the 25th anniversary. Guests have the chance to win fun sports equipment, boating accessories and a boating licence course. All information about the trade fair is available at www.magdeboot.de.
