boot Düsseldorf 2027 to host 1,500 maritime exhibitors

The 58th edition of boot Düsseldorf is scheduled to take place from January 23 to 31, 2027. The international water sports exhibition is expected to host over 1,500 manufacturers, retailers, and tourism destinations, showcasing more than 1,000 boats and yachts.

Due to ongoing modernization at the Düsseldorf Exhibition Center, Hall 9 will be unavailable until 2029, necessitating a modified hall layout for the 2027 event. Rigid inflatable boats (RIBs), dinghies, and tenders will relocate to Hall 17 as part of the Motorboat Walk. Surfing and paddling activities will be centered in Hall 12, while diving sports will be consolidated in Hall 13.

Event Director Petros Michelidakis noted that the exhibition serves as a vital business engine for the maritime industry, providing a platform for manufacturers to secure new customers and present trends even during challenging economic periods.
