From the25 to 27 August the boat and leisure trade fair will bring the flair of the Côte d'Azur to Brandenburg with its Inwater Boatshow, transforming the city of flowers into Germany's boating capital for the sixth time," says Messe Berlin, announcing its inwater counterpart to Boot & Fun at the end of November in the halls under the Berlin Radio Tower. Anyone who has ever visited Boot & Fun inwater knows that the image of "Werder as Germany's Saint-Tropez", which project manager Daniel Barkowski likes to paint, is by no means an exaggeration, but rather reflects the atmosphere on the harbour promenade and the jetties of the marina in the Havel floodplains. "The wide range of offers and the constantly growing variety are what make the event so attractive. We are delighted about the unbroken interest and enquiries from all over Germany." Renowned manufacturers such as Bavaria, Beneteau, Delphia, Galeon, Greenline, Jeanneau, Marex, Mastercraft, Prestige, Quicksilver, Sea Ray, Sunbeam, X Shore and many more will be taking part. The rapid technological development of sustainable drive and battery systems is also reflected at the Boatshow on the Havel.

With the Hamburg Yacht Festival, Zimmermann wants to close the gap in the range of events for water sports enthusiasts on the Elbe and North Sea that was left after the last hanseboot and the early cancellation of the follow-up Hamburg Boat Show. It is set to become the end-of-season festival for boating in Hamburg, which will draw its special flavour from a mix of in-water boat show and traditional marina festival.

Following the successful launch of the new Flensburg boat show in 2022, INSA - the four letters stand for International Sailors Affairs - is entering bigger waters in more ways than one. For the new edition from15 to 17 September 2023 not only will the exhibition space in the Flens Arena be expanded to almost 5,000 m² by occupying an additional gallery. The indoor boat show will be complemented by the INSA Water Show in the Flensburg inner fjord. There, exhibitors can experience larger boats in their element. A shuttle service will be set up between the Flens Arena and the city harbour as well as other berths if necessary. Otherwise, organiser Ingo Schanze and his team will remain true to their very own trade fair concept: a little bit of all nautical products, but not too much of anything. A stage programme complements the exhibition. More than 100 exhibitors are looking forward to meeting customers.

The hands-on fair in the border triangle on Lake Constance attracts visitors from23 September to 1 October The 62nd edition of the event pulls out all the stops and spans another two weekends before being launched as a compact five-day show from 2024.

After the International Water Sports Exhibition 2022 celebrated a magnificent comeback of its trade fair lake at the end of the pandemic and was able to include indoor highlights such as standing waves (Interboot Surf Days), SUP pools (Team Challenge) and trailer training on the outdoor area in the programme again, this time the strongest trump card of the Friedrichshafen trade fair is also set to shine in new splendour: the Interboot harbour on Lake Constance. And with it, after a four-year break, its perennial favourite: the BOOTE women's boating training. The topic of sustainability will also be emphasised this year. "There will be a sustainability trail," reveals project manager Felix Klarmann. "On this trail, we want to make it possible to experience the variety of topics on the subject of sustainability across the entire site. All participating stands will be clearly marked."
