Review of a successful trade fair week in Friedrichshafen
From 24 to 28 September 2025, Interboot opened its doors for the 64th time and offered a real highlight for water sports fans from Germany and abroad.
We were also represented in Friedrichshafen with our own stand and can look back on an all-round successful trade fair.
This year’s Interboot took place for the second time as a five-day event – in previous years it was a nine-day trade fair. The fair was very well attended on all days and our experts were busy throughout. Despite the shortened duration, we were able to hold numerous intensive discussions with interested parties, existing customers and business partners, thereby establishing valuable contacts and further deepening our existing relationships.
We were particularly pleased with the enormous interest shown by visitors in our own products. Our new model, the world premiere Viper V 263 SY, quickly became one of the fair’s visitor magnets. At times, the boat was so popular that we had to take additional measures to ensure orderly viewing. This was a strong sign of the great interest and positive response our new model received.
In the special ‘My First Boat’ area supported by float magazine, we were able to impress visitors with our Auster Model 520 CD on several occasions. The format is aimed specifically at beginners in water sports and has once again shown how great the interest in buying a boat is, even among first-time buyers.
Our success in this area confirms that the market remains vibrant and offers real growth potential – even in the newcomer segment. For us, Interboot is traditionally an important indicator for the upcoming season. This year’s edition has made us very confident and has reinforced our current course. The consistently positive response, the high level of interest in our products and the quality of the discussions with new and existing customers and partners make us optimistic about the coming season and are also a great incentive for us for the upcoming boot 2026 trade fair in Düsseldorf, in which we will once again be participating as a manufacturer. We are convinced that the demand is there – and we are ideally positioned to meet it.
We would like to thank all visitors, partners and the Interboot team for a great trade fair in 2025 – and we are already looking forward to seeing you again next year!
