These impressive vessels, transported from far-off destinations like the Caribbean and Turkey, are a sight to behold. Major series manufacturers like Jeanneau, Beneteau, Bavaria, Sealine, and Greenline have found their home in Hall 1, offering motor yachts between 10 and 20 meters.

The boot Düsseldorf's diving fair takes place in Halls 11, 12, and a part of Hall 13. Here, more than 400 exhibitors present a wide range of diving equipment and services. A diving tunnel connects Hall 12 to Hall 13, designed to mimic underwater diving experiences.
