When November turns very grey, wet and cold, it is time for BOAT & FUN BERLIN.
From 11 to 14 November 2021 parallel with the boating exhibition, AUTO CAMPING CARAVAN, TRANSPORTERTAGE BERLIN, AUTOTAGE BERLIN and the ANGLER WORLD BERLIN are also taking place. Tickets are available online only.
Now that water sports activities have ended, water sports fans and tourists can make their preparations for the upcoming season on the Berlin Exhibition Grounds. Along with AUTO CAMPING CARAVAN, TRANSPORTERTAGE BERLIN, AUTOTAGE BERLIN and ANGLER WORLD BERLIN, BOAT & FUN BERLIN offers a whole range of options for planning leisure time outdoors. Overall, some 700 companies are exhibiting their products and services.
“Following last year’s necessary break, the exhibition is taking place at exactly the right time. The market is booming more than ever“, said Daniel Barkowski, the project manager for BOAT & FUN BERLIN. As with motorhomes, demand for boats has risen sharply with the coronavirus crisis. “This event gives enthusiasts a rare opportunity to visit a large number of exhibitors and compare products where, to paraphrase our slogan, they can ’look, test and buy’“, Barkowski added.
As always, the exhibition is also a magnet for amateur and professional anglers. The ANGLER WORLD BERLIN, the leading exhibition of its kind and major attraction for sporting anglers and hobbyists alike, is unlikely to disappoint them. It is taking place from 12 to 14 November. Also on show is the ANGELBOOT BERLIN section, featuring a display of fishing boats unmatched in Germany in one hall. A new addition is the ’Techcorner’, where the displays include fishing technology highlights and navigation equipment.
The exhibition opened with the traditional GALA NIGHT OF THE BOATS, where invited guests were able to preview the boats on show. Taking as their slogan “Licence to boat“, Daniel Craig lookalike Martin Langanke (aka James Bond) along with “Bond girls” and boats naturally fitting the occasion underscored the exclusive character of the event. “With this performance we were able to highlight the live nature of the show“, said Barkowski.
