Hamburg Yacht Festival in Wedel (06. - 08.09.2024)

Since the Hanseboot was cancelled, many water sports enthusiasts on the Elbe and the North Sea have been longing for an alternative event in Hamburg. It has been here since 2023: the new Hamburg boat show in Hamburg's marina in Wedel. From 6 to 8 September 2024, the Inwater Boat Show will fill the gap in the autumn trade fair offering for the boating industry in Hamburg for the second time. The yacht festival is organised by the agency Yachtfestival365, which also organises Germany's largest in-water boat show, the ancora Yachtfestival in Neustadt in Holstein. In addition to the boats in the water, there are also sales pagodas, workshops, lectures and demonstrations. The event coincides with the large marina festival organised by the 52 clubs at the Hamburg marina. The German Sailing Association's Sailing Days and the Safety Days organised by the cruising section of the club will also take place during this time. A highlight: a large maritime flea market takes place on Saturday.

Interboot in Friedrichshafen (25. - 29.09.2024)

The international water sports exhibition on Lake Constance presents itself with a new look and a completely new focus. The biggest change: the shortening of the duration from nine to just five days. In a survey, the majority of exhibitors had spoken out in favour of a shorter exhibition period. Less personnel deployment, resource savings and overall lower trade fair costs with a full programme, at least that is the claim. As part of the redesign, the Interboot harbour is to be modified, event content expanded and new product worlds opened up. In addition to camping and towing vehicles, for example, there will also be a fishing programme for the first time.

INSA (International Seasport Affairs) in Flensburg (18 - 20 October 2024)

After its successful premiere in 2022, INSA had to settle for far fewer visitors than expected last year. When the doors of the Campushalle in Flensburg open to water sports enthusiasts for the third time from 18 to 20 October, everything is set to be a little different. The organisers have a new concept in mind. Firstly, INSA is to be an "experience fair with a high learning and information content": painting, splicing, sealing? - Professionals will be on hand to show you how it's done! Secondly, the Inwater concept is to be expanded to include more boats. Thirdly, the admission and ticket concept will be restructured in order to increase the number of visitors and spread attendance as widely as possible.
