International exhibitors
Exhibitors from 60 countries will be represented at Boot Düsseldorf, with nearly 800 exhibitors from outside Germany. Among the most important are the Netherlands, Italy, France and the United Kingdom.
Many previews
The Düsseldorf fair will also be the occasion for more than 100 international exhibitors to present their previews.
Motorboats and multihulls in the spotlight
The motorboat will be particularly well represented at the show, from the simple inflatable with outboard engine, to the open sports boat, the cruiser or the luxury yacht. 250 boat builders, dealers and importers will occupy six exhibition halls, in order to give a representative sample of the world of motorboats. Among the best known are Bavaria, Bénéteau, Cranchi, Jeanneau and Nimbus.
On the multihull side, Halls 15 and 16 will be dedicated to these models which are making good progress. Visitors can expect to find a growing number of large boats. Among others, Catana, CNB Lagoon, Fountaine Pajot, Nautitech and Slyder will be present.
Luxury well represented
The luxury segment is on the rise again and 60 luxury yacht models will be on display at the Boot Dusseldorf. Having experienced a slump, especially in the 20 to 25 meter yachts, the new Monte Carlo models from Bénéteau as well as the new Prestige from Jeanneau have brought back some color to this segment. Azimut, Sunseeker and Princess will also be exhibiting some of their larger models.
