If you want to be one of the first to discover the new products at the trade fair, you can do so at the traditional Gala Night of Boats on 26 November 2025. It takes place from 6 p.m. to midnight and offers not only water sports, but also socialising with music in five halls.
Boot & Fun will open its doors for regular trade fair operations from 27 November to 30 November 2025 from 10 am to 6 pm. However, there is more to experience than just water sports: Under the umbrella brand OutVenture Berlin, the trade fair company will unite Boot & Fun, Angelwelt (only from 28 November 2025), Caravan & Camping (in cooperation with Auto Camping Caravan) and Offroad & Nature (in cooperation with Offroad Berlin) under one roof and showcase everything that is of interest for leisure on land and on the water. The exhibition space at OutVenture Berlin covers over 90,000 square metres in 16 halls.
Around 850 exhibitors have been announced for Boot & Fun. Like last year, around 600 boats will be on display, according to the trade fair organisers. Houseboats, touring boats and boats travelling in the region are particularly in demand. These include domestic boat brands as well as international manufacturers. Specialised fishing boats can be found in Hall 2.2a in the fishing world. The matching motors and accessories can of course also be seen there.
Messe Berlin also goes beyond the classic exhibition format and focuses on an interactive programme that invites visitors to participate and discover. A central element of this is personal dialogue with experts. In the Refit Area in Hall 5.2a, visitors can talk to experts about the refurbishment and modernisation of boats and experience live demonstrations. Where active experience also plays a major role: Water sports fans can try out kayaks, canoes and SUPs directly in the water in three test pools in Hall 25. The latest SUP models can be tested under real conditions in the 300 square metre test pool. There is also a skimboard trickboard zone for action lovers. A lifestyle stage in Hall 25 will also enrich the programme with overarching outdoor topics. The varied lecture programme is aimed at both beginners and experienced water sports enthusiasts.
