Düsseldorf, Germany · January

Held every January at Messe Düsseldorf in Germany, it traditionally opens the European boating season several months ahead of the September Mediterranean shows.
For yards and equipment makers selling into the Mediterranean, boot Düsseldorf remains a key stop to unveil the year's new models before Cannes and Monaco, with an audience more focused on cruising sailboats and mid-size boats than on large yachting.
