Global Showcase for the Marine Industry

boot Düsseldorf 2026 promises to be one of the most comprehensive international boating events yet, with over 1,000 boats and yachts exhibited across 16 halls from 17 to 25 January 2026. Following two years of market fluctuation, international shipyards and dealers are returning in force, reaffirming the show’s position as the world’s number one trade fair for water sports.

Both catamaran and large series boat manufacturers will use January to present themselves ready for the coming season. Many manufacturers have recognised that success in the market is linked to participation in boot.
