Fewer exhibitors expected at Boot 2025
According to Director Petros Michelidakis, some manufacturers and shipyards will only be able to show a reduced range of products at Boot next year or will have to cancel due to the current economic situation. “However, we understand this well and are in close and positive contact with all the relevant companies. They have clearly confirmed their participation in Boot as the world’s largest water sports trade fair for the future and assured us that they will be fully on board again in Düsseldorf from 2026,” says Michelidakis.
