1,500 exhibitors, 17 exhibition halls, an area the size of 31 soccer stadiums, 60 countries represented - welcome to Boot Düsseldorf, the world's largest indoor boat show! Practical guide to prepare your visit from January 21 to 29, 2023.

A huge exhibition with 9 different themes

Cancelled twice due to the global pandemic, the Boot Düsseldorf is about to open its doors again. From January 21 to 29, 2023, the 17 halls of the Messe will once again welcome more than 1,500 exhibitors from the world of yachting: boat builders, water sports, diving, boards and canoes, equipment, destinations and much more! This year, even more than in previous years, internationalization is the motto of the show with over 60 countries represented and 65% of exhibitors from abroad.

Düsseldorf has everything to satisfy the needs of boaters and onlookers alike: take a canoe for a family outing on an artificial river, try your hand at sliding in the wave pool of the slide area, take your first dive in a brand-new pool, or discover some impressive yachts. In 2023, the show will also be the heart of "blue innovation" with daily presentations by visionaries, politicians and investors to prepare the industry of the future.
