From 18 to 26 January 2025, Boot Düsseldorf once again established itself as the international benchmark event for the boating industry. With 1,500 exhibitors from 67 countries and the participation of more than 200,000 people from 113 countries, the fair stood out for its ability to attract experts and water sports enthusiasts. In its 16 halls, innovations in motor and sailing boats, surfing and diving equipment, as well as tourism and charter offers were presented, covering all aspects of the nautical sector.
An event with great satisfaction for the attendees
Visitor satisfaction was remarkable, with 94% saying they were very satisfied with the offer presented. Among the main trends observed were a growing interest in smaller boats and a significant demand for diving and surfing equipment. In addition, Boot Düsseldorf stood out for its focus on sustainability, promoting initiatives such as the ‘blue innovation dock’ and the ‘love your ocean’ campaign, which seeks to protect the oceans through various actions in collaboration with important organisations.
Water sports and entertainment at Boot Düsseldorf 2025
This year, the show also hosted exciting water sports competitions, such as wakeboarding and wing foiling, which attracted thousands of spectators. The mix of business and entertainment was key to its success, creating an environment conducive to establishing new business relationships and preparing for the summer watersports season.
Innovation and sustainability at the centre
In short, Boot Düsseldorf 2025 was not only a key event for the boating industry, but also a showcase for the latest innovations and a boost for environmental awareness. It certainly exceeded expectations and left a clear message: the future of the sector lies in sustainability and innovation.
An outstanding example of innovation at the event was the participation of Rodman, one of our suppliers, which presented two of its new products: the Rodman 790 Ventura SD and the Rodman SPIRIT 31 HT, models that combine performance, design and technology to offer exceptional sailing experiences.
