INTERBOOT is among the leading German events for water sports, sailing and boats. Messe Friedrichshafen, an organiser and a host of the trade fair, will welcome professionals and water sports lovers for an exciting in-person meeting from 24 to 28 September 2025. Messe Friedrichshafen’s premises, connected with the INTERBOOT Marina on the Bodensee shore, make the experience during the event more vivid and ensure discovering products in their natural environment is more impressive for all attendees.
For five days in September 2025, the Friedrichshafen Exhibition Centre and the INTERBOOT harbour will turn into a water sports epicentre and a place for displaying innovative products for purchasing like boats, yachts, trend sports equipment, accessories and maritime fashion items. The 63rd edition of INTERBOOT expects to attract more than 40,000 visitors willing to explore the items displayed, shop, listen to presentations and educative seminars, test, try and practice favourite water sports on-site.
Exciting highlights of INTERBOOT 2025 will be activities and events such as Women’s driving training, DSV Days of Sailing, Water Ski Show, Day of Emergency Organisations, DSV Sailing Youth Roadshow, and many more. These are aimed to enhance visitors’ experience during the expo dates. At the same time, a well-designed educative program will be presented to all participants through informative lectures and practice-oriented seminars. One of the most significant advantages of the expo being held in such a location is the opportunity for on-site test drives of water sports and sports equipment.
