A trade fair in a new and unique format is to be launched at Lake Constance next weekend. Around 20 exhibitors want to offer visitors a mixture of open house operation, InWater show and test drives at six different locations over three days.
Exhibitors from the fields of motor and sailing yachts, engines, sailing and motorboat schools, yacht insurance and yacht financing, sails and textiles, masts, rigging and electronics as well as boatbuilding will present themselves in shipyards, marinas or service centres spread along the entire Swiss shore. Dealers for Beneteau, Bayliner and Capelli as well as smaller shipyards from the region will also be present.
The organisers of Boats & More Bodensee are thus taking a new approach and departing from the tried-and-tested concept of the previous InWater boat show at a fixed location. "Compared to the event in Bottighofen, the range of participants has also been significantly expanded thanks to the additional locations," explained Eugen Munz, spokesman for the organising association. The respective exhibitors can present themselves at their usual or selected locations, which visitors can easily reach by bike or public transport, by car or, in some cases, by shuttle service. In addition to an extensive water sports programme, the multi-faceted event also invites visitors to enjoy music, food and drink in a relaxed maritime atmosphere.
The new Boats & More Bodensee opens its doors on Friday (18 August) at 2 pm, admission is free.
