Magdeboot will once again traditionally herald the start of the water sports season in 2025. From 7 to 9 March, exhibitors will showcase more than 100 boats and the latest accessories for water sports enthusiasts in three exhibition halls and on the outdoor area. The trade fair benefits from its location at the Magdeburg waterway junction, which connects the region with areas from Berlin to the North Sea and from Saxony to the Baltic Sea.
The Speedcraft Marine brand from manufacturer CBC Cityboats is a new addition to the range. The shipyard will be exhibiting three aluminium boat models: KT500z, CA550 and QX500c. The robust boats are also designed for use at sea and are powered by Mercury engines. Raymarine electronics are used for navigation. The 7.70 metre long LH768Q model with pilothouse (protected steering position), which can still be transported on a trailer despite its size, is also being planned.
Dealer Allert Marin will be exhibiting two models from the French shipyard Beneteau: the Antares 7, a compact cruiser measuring 7.48 metres in length, is suitable for independent launching. The 7.97 metre long Flyer 8 Spacedeck will also be presented for the first time. Its open deck layout makes it particularly interesting for anglers and sporting activities.
T&R Yachthandel is bringing the fast Hydrolift X-22 from Norway. The 6.86 metre long sports boat reaches high speeds with an engine output of up to 350 hp. Also on show at the stand: The 7.05 metre long sports boat Karnic SL 702 and the compact motor yacht Balt Titanium 818 with a length of 8.18 metres.
The Dutch shipyard Balt Yachts is represented with its Suncamper residential boat series. Dealer Impol Boote will be showing the Suncamper 31 model, a 9.50 metre displacement boat with a flat hull. It is particularly suitable for inland waters and offers plenty of living space on one level.
The Dutch brand Riomar favours direct sales from the factory to the customer. It is presenting the new Riomar 680 Tender at Magdeboot. The 6.80 metre long open boat offers space for up to ten people and costs less than 30,000 euros. The outboard motor is concealed.
One highlight of the trade fair is the enlarged test pool in Hall 3, where visitors can try out various water sports equipment such as stand-up paddleboards and canoes for themselves. Demonstrations will also take place in the pool.
In addition to the boat presentations, numerous exhibitors offer charter boats - from day trips on open sports boats to multi-day tours on sailing yachts. Water sports enthusiasts will also find a wide range of accessories and equipment at the trade fair.
Magdeboot will take place for the 24th time in 2025. It has established itself as an important regional water sports trade fair in Saxony-Anhalt. The organiser is Messe- und Veranstaltungsgesellschaft Magdeburg GmbH. Individual tickets are available for 12 euros (9 euros concessions). A family ticket can be purchased for 29 euros.
