Watersports up close

Ready for an eventful and exciting summer of watersports events? With our boot summer event calendar, you have everything available at a glance. Whether sailing regattas, rowing marathons or canoe tours – as a partner of many different events and activities, we provide information here about our next highlights. 

So open your diary, note down the events and experience watersports up close – in the same boat with us.

From July 12 to August 2, Lars Thierling will be visiting the most beautiful campsites in Germany with his caravan and kayaks, offering on-site paddle rides and individual advice.

The 132nd Travemünder Week takes place from July 23 to August 1 and is one of the most beautiful sailing regattas in the world. With an excellent starting area and a wide variety of sporting highlights, you can experience world-class sailing there.

In September we cannot guarantee a single weekend without watersports. From 4 to 12 September, skippers will meet in the boot.club lounge at Kiel Week. Here you can join in and cheer when the sailing yachts set sail daily in the Bay of Kiel.

If you can't make it to Kiel on 11 and 12 September, maybe you can visit the Essen Sailing Week instead? Several regattas and the city championships will take place on Lake Baldeney on that weekend. The Essen Sailing Week is one of the regatta highlights in the Ruhr region.

The sailor kids will be in Kiel-Schilksee on September 18 and 19. At the "Golden Opti Cup", around 350 young sailors from around the world will compete against each other in Opti A & Opti B.

Sailing around Lake Constance is the name of the game on September 25, when a fleet of nearly 400 sailors take on the challenging route towards the west. Instead of starting at dusk this year, the participants will start the day's regatta early in the morning.

From Leverkusen to Düsseldorf on the Rhine – on 2 October it’s time for the annual rowing marathon!
This year the Düsseldorf Rhine Marathon celebrates its 50^th birthday and looks forward to greeting up to 170 participating rowing boats from different nations.
