Largest water sports fair in the world
From 17 to 25 January 2026, the trade fair is expecting more than 200,000 water sports enthusiasts from over 100 countries, who can look forward to a varied show programme in the 17 exhibition halls on the Rhine. In addition to the event character, visitors will of course continue to focus on the 1,000 or so boats and yachts on display.
Wide range in the superyacht segment
After some market-related slowdowns in recent years, numerous international shipyards are returning to Düsseldorf in greater numbers, which will significantly increase the density and variety in the upper segment. Numerous world and German premieres will be on display, particularly in Superboat Hall 5 and the neighbouring superyacht area in Hall 6, which will hopefully provide the shipyards with well-filled order books after this week in the economic centre.
BOOTE and BOOTE EXCLUSIV in the home territory
For BOOTE EXCLUSIV, boot has been a must-attend event since the very first edition. "For us, this trade fair is a fixture every year - it's like our home turf," says Editor-in-Chief Martin Hager. "At the Delius Klasing stand in Hall 10, G18, we meet our readers, offer presentations on many exciting topics and, of course, present our extensive range of publishing products." Hall 5 will focus on the still booming market for tenders, weekenders and chaseboats - often referred to as the "super sports cars of the seas" - and will be home to prominent brands such as Brabus Marine, Frauscher and De Antonio, who will be bringing their 60-foot flagship D60 with them this year.
Sanlorenzo shows the trade fair superlative
Hall 6 is traditionally a crowd-puller and is an integral part of many visitors' visit to the trade fair, as you can get closer to large new yachts here than almost anywhere else. With the 27.43 metre long SD90, the Italian shipyard Sanlorenzo is providing the largest exhibit this year. At the neighbouring stand of sister company Bluegame, the 25-metre-long BGX83, the flagship celebrating its world premiere, will be available for viewing.
Wide range of models on the Rhine
The spectrum of models and innovations in the 70-foot length range is wider than ever. The Ferretti Group, Azimut, Solaris, Princess, Sirena Marine, Absolute, Galeon, Explorer Yachts, Sunseeker, Prestige and Pearl will be represented. Superyacht variety from Italy, England and Poland. Fans of large sailing yachts will find what they are looking for in Halls 15 and 16. The Grand Soleil 65 Performance with a length of 21.60 metres dominates the exhibition there. The CNB brand, which belongs to Solaris, will be showing the new CNB 62 model, and Beneteau will be presenting the First 60, a high-performance sloop with great fun and regatta potential. World premiere!
