Below are answers to frequently asked questions. Click on a question to see more details.

What is boot Düsseldorf?

The boot Düsseldorf exhibition is the world's largest yachting and watersports event. In 2026, it will traditionally attract thousands of exhibitors and hundreds of thousands of visitors under the roofs of 16 massive pavilions. The exhibition was first held in 1969. Since then, the boat show has been held annually, virtually without cancellation.

How many exhibitors and vessels will be presented in 2026?

In 2026, the exhibition's scale is impressive: Messe Düsseldorf's pavilions will host over 1,500 exhibitors from nearly 70 countries. Visitors will be able to see over 1,000 boats and yachts in person—from compact tenders and inflatable boats to luxury superyachts and innovative sailing vessels (yes, the Interparus team will be at the innovative sailing vessel stand). This concentration of global brands and innovations in one place makes boot Düsseldorf a must-see for anyone connected to the sea.

How to get to the exhibition?

Boot Düsseldorf 2026 is by invitation only. You can order tickets yourself, or you can entrust us with the process using the wonderful button above. We'll help you with your visit and answer any questions you may have.

What is the best way to plan a visit if the exhibition occupies 16 pavilions?

It's physically impossible to see everything in one day. We recommend downloading the official boot Düsseldorf app in advance to create a list of your favorite exhibitors and plan your route. The pavilions are divided by theme, from diving and surfing equipment to catamarans and engines. If you're looking to buy or negotiate, allow at least two days for your visit.

Is it possible to test equipment or boats at the exhibition?

Yes! boot Düsseldorf is famous for its interactive zones. The surfing and diving pavilions feature pools and artificial rivers where you can try out SUP boards, kayaks, and even try a dive. Don't forget to bring your swimsuit (although changing rooms and wetsuit rentals are often available on site).

Will the exhibition feature world premieres from 2026?

Absolutely. January in Düsseldorf is a time for major global announcements. Most shipyards reserve their flagship new products for this show. Particular attention in 2026 will be paid to eco-friendly technologies and electric motors at the Blue Innovation Dock. We personally look forward to the announcement of new Dufour sailboats and Fountaine Pajot catamarans.

Are there recreation and business meeting areas on site?

The Messe Düsseldorf area features a variety of cafes and restaurants, from food courts serving traditional German sausages to fine dining. For a more relaxed meeting, we recommend reserving tables in the VIP lounges or arranging meetings in advance at specific shipyards' booths, which offer private meeting areas. The Interparus team will be at booth B39, so don't miss out!
