Regardless of whether it’s a houseboat or a charter yacht, let our experts advise and inspire you for your next vacation on the water. If you want to dive even deeper into the topic, you can attend the ever-popular Blauwasser seminar or the charter seminar. A little tip for all sailors: the cruise consultation experts will help you plan the perfect cruise in a personal discussion.

The topics of sustainability and nature conservation are becoming increasingly present in the boating industry. From electric drivetrains to environmentally-friendly innovations, interested visitors can discover a lot at boot Düsseldorf. For years now, boot Düsseldorf has been campaigning for a green boating industry and protection of the oceans. In Hall 11 at the Love your Ocean stand, for example, you can find out how you can experience watersports sustainably and protect the oceans from pollution at the same time.

In 2022 we will even go one step further: In Hall 9 the Blue Innovation Dock will take place for the first time. This is a platform for trade visitors with the aim of bringing visionaries, investors and politicians together to make the maritime industry sustainably fit for the future.
In addition to co-organizer European Boating Industry (EBI), this time around the Blue Innovation Dock will be supported by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). On this stage, participants from a high-level political panel are expected to speak and debate on the development of sustainable coastal and marine tourism.

Since 2018, the Ocean Tribute Award - OTA for short - has also been presented every year in cooperation with the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and the German Ocean Foundation as part of the trade fair. This award honours environmentally-friendly projects and technical innovations that contribute to a better climate and healthier waters.

Diving in the brand-new diving tower

For 42 years the diving tower at boot Düsseldorf inspired diving beginners and professionals alike. The new tower will be inaugurated at boot 2022 and used henceforward. Architect Jürgen Sütterlich, in charge of the project, focused on modernity and functionality in his design. At the same time he perfectly implemented the motto of boot Düsseldorf - Experience 360 Degrees of Watersports - and designed a tower with an almost completely panoramic view. With a diameter of eight metres, a height of four metres and a capacity of 200,000 litres, the new diving tower is an impressive eye-catcher that will delight not only divers.

Regardless of whether you are a professional or a novice: the new diving tower, where the hands-on activities will also take place, promises to be a highlight at boot 2022 and is well worth a visit to Hall 12.

Beach World has a new home at boot Düsseldorf 2022! Until now, all surf and trend sports fans could call Hall 8a their realm, but next year it will be Hall 8b. So what will change for you as a visitor? Not much, except that the action will now be in the hall opposite. But don't worry, both halls are the same size and therefore not a single sqm of fun will be lost.

As usual, beginners and pros can let off steam while surfing on THE WAVE or compete in contests. Wakeboarding and skimboarding as well as stand-up paddling are also in the program at the flatwater pool. You can look forward to a special novelty in Hall 8b: wing surfing in the Surf Academy. Together with the Association of German Water Sports Schools, special simulators have been developed, which help you learn and improve your windsurfing and kitesurfing skills. The very brave can even try their first attempts on the Wingding! Anyone who masters steering and navigating here can face the 20 wind machines in the next step at wing surfing in the pool. Is that a highlight or what?

No matter what you're in the mood for at boot Düsseldorf 2022, you'll find the right entertainment in one of the 14 halls.
