Düsseldorf sets sail at the beginning of every year with a world-class water sports event: boot Düsseldorf is the largest boat and water sports fair in the world with around 250,000 visitors, 1,500 exhibitors from 67 nations and 220,000 square meters of exhibition space in 16 exhibition halls. For nine days, everything in the Düsseldorf exhibition halls revolves around small boats and large yachts, kayaks, kitesurfing, fishing, diving and maritime art.
The best thing is: boot not only offers new products to look at, but also offers to try out. Beginners and experienced water sports enthusiasts can choose between many different hands-on programs. In the "start boating" and "start sailing" beginners' arenas, for example, interested parties will receive basic theory tips and have the opportunity to gain their first sailing experience at the boot Sailing School. The Beach World makes surfboard dreams come true in the Rhineland winter. You can choose from a skimboard course, a flatwater pool for wakeboarding or stand-up paddling, plus kite and windsurf simulators and balance boards for practising on land.
Area for the fishing scene
In addition to taster dives with compressed air tanks, new trends can be tested such as mermaid diving or apnea diving without any technical equipment. Online booking is recommended in advance for all offers so that the trial does not fall through. This also applies to the canoe, kayak or Canadian canoe tour - of course on a river that meanders through the backdrop of a rocky gorge.
The sport fishing center is also a meeting place for the fishing scene. At the indoor fishing pond, even beginners can try their hand at the latest fishing routes.
