Fewer exhibitors
According to Director Petros Michelidakis, some manufacturers and shipyards will present a reduced product range at Boot next year or will have to withdraw due to the current challenging economic situation. “We fully understand this and are in close, positive dialogue with all key companies. They have reaffirmed their commitment to Boot as the world’s largest water sports trade fair and have assured us that they will be back in full force in Düsseldorf from 2026 onward,” Michelidakis said.
