Boot Düsseldorf 2026 is entering its final phase with the opening of the ticket shop. First, the best news: admission prices for the world's largest trade fair for motorboats, luxury yachts, sailing boats, diving, surfing, paddling and fishing (17 to 25 January 2026) remain stable.

The cheapest way to enjoy the trade fair to the full is the ticket for boot.club members (free membership and access to the boot.club lounges in Halls 7 and 13 with free WiFi included): it costs just €19.00 for two days of trade fair experience. Children under the age of 13 continue to visit boot Düsseldorf free of charge, while older teenagers pay €14.00.

There is also an attractive business offer for the numerous international professionals at the trade fair. With their special ticket for trade visitors (€26.00, two-day ticket €41.00), they can meet with exhibitors for individual business meetings at 9:30 a.m. in the trade visitor lounge (Hall 13). Tickets can be paid for using the usual payment methods and, starting this year, also with other online services such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. In recent years, boot visitor tickets have been a popular Christmas gift and have been ordered in large numbers for the December season. Tickets are available here.

boot Director Petros Michelidakis: "Visiting boot 2026 is a unique experience for anyone who enjoys being in and on the water. Our two-day ticket for boot.club members is particularly appealing to prospective buyers who want comprehensive advice, to look around and to compare. And all boot fans can once again look forward to a great offer at the trade fair. Almost 1,500 manufacturers and dealers will be presenting over 1,000 boats and yachts at boot. Many of these will be premieres, meaning they will be presented to the public for the first time here in Düsseldorf."

Visitors to boot will also get their money's worth when it comes to diving accessories and equipment. "Our diving halls 11 and 12 are already very well filled with renowned manufacturers, diving centers and dealers," says project manager Christian Hruschka happily. Anyone who wants to dream of the sea, the beach and a boating holiday during the cold Central European winter should definitely take a detour to Hall 13 - Destinations & Boat Life - at boot. "It's pure holiday feeling here. Charter companies, houseboats, marinas and lots of great holiday destinations simply make you want to head for the sea," says Hruschka.

In the neighboring Hall 14, there are canoes and kayaks as well as a natural paddling course, where small competitions between paddlers will be held every day of the show next year. Sailing Hall 15 also invites visitors to get involved, offering younger boot fans a real trade fair experience. In the Sailing School, they can learn the first tricks and tips on the pool, while wind machines provide the necessary propulsion. And anyone who wants to try out the new trend sports of wingsurfing and wing foiling for the first time will find just what they are looking for in the XXL pool in Surf Hall 17. In addition to the world-class contests for professionals, beginners can also mingle with the surfing community here.

The world's largest yacht and water sports fair

With more than 200,000 visitors from over 100 countries and 1,500 exhibitors on 220,000 square meters in Halls 1 to 17, boot Düsseldorf is the world's largest yacht and water sports fair. Both sailors and motor boaters will find a wide variety of boats, dinghies, superboats or luxury yachts. The popular water sports of diving, surfing, kite surfing, stand up paddling, skimboarding or canoeing are available at boot in all facets and with the appropriate equipment. Attractive stage programs with the stars of the scene, the latest trends and a high-caliber mix of workshops and hands-on activities, both for leisure sports enthusiasts and experts, make the fair unique worldwide. But marine conservation and innovative, sustainable technologies will also be in focus at boot 2026. In cooperation with the European Boating Industry (EBI), for example, the blue innovation dock offers a unique dialogue format with political, economic, technological and media expertise. The next edition of boot Düsseldorf will open its doors from 17 to 25 January 2026. www.boot.com
