If you’re wishing to explore the market with the view to buying, then Düsseldorf boot is a great event to attend, from the standpoint of having the opportunity of being able to compare a whole host of boats within the same class or sector of the market. This is invaluable in making the necessary comparisons. And particularly if you attend over the first three to four days of the show, you’re highly likely to be able to meet the actual creators and designers of these craft too.
Importantly, on our travels around the show, we found the staff working on the stands to be courteous and helpful. I noticed how in nearly all cases, they were keen to engage with visitors and give their time accordingly. Two other things of note to mention too: the food outlets serve a selection of well-priced freshly prepared, healthy food, including hot dishes – something quite rare at many events these days. And for the journalists in attendance, the press facilities and associated hospitality are the best of any to be found at any international maritime event in my view. I would like to say a personal thank you to the organisers that the media are made to feel valued and are cared for with such appreciation.
