boot Düsseldorf, the international boat and water sports show, runs at Messe Düsseldorf from Saturday 23 to Sunday 31 January 2027. The organiser calls it the world's largest yacht and water sports show, and the 2026 edition drew over 200,000 visitors from more than 110 countries, with almost 1,500 exhibitors from 68 nations across the halls. It is a public show with a strong trade side: anyone can buy a day ticket, while trade visitors get their own ticket, earlier entry and a B2B lounge. Nine days that span two weekends mean heavy demand for boot Düsseldorf hotels, from Stockum beside the fairground and minutes from the airport to the Altstadt and city centre, which have direct light rail links to the Messe. This page shows live hotel rates near Messe Düsseldorf for your dates. Your boot ticket is bought separately from the organiser.

How do you get to boot Düsseldorf?
From Düsseldorf Airport (DUS)
- On selected event days the U81 runs directly from the airport terminal to the MERKUR SPIEL-ARENA/Messe Nord stop in about seven minutes, according to Messe Düsseldorf
- In regular operation the U80 links the airport with the Messe Ost/Stockumer Kirchstraße stop, Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof and the city centre
- Taxis between the airport and every Messe Düsseldorf entrance charge a fixed €25.00 day and night, and the organiser puts the ride at about 10 minutes
- Flying home, Düsseldorf Airport's DUSgateway lets you book a free security check time slot from 72 hours before departure
By rail and road
- Messe Düsseldorf recommends the Deutsche Bahn event ticket, which includes travel from the station to the exhibition grounds; the offer applies only to journeys within Germany
- From Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof and Heinrich-Heine-Allee in the Altstadt there are direct light rail connections to the Messe stops
- By car, the A44 runs right past the fairground: leave at junction 29 Messe/Arena for car parks P1 and P2, where free shuttle buses run to the entrances
- Parking at P1 and P2 is cashless only, and you can buy a parking ticket in advance from GOLDBECK Parking Services
How do you get around during boot Düsseldorf?
Getting to Messe Düsseldorf each day
- The main stops are MERKUR SPIEL-ARENA/Messe Nord (U78, plus the U81 on selected event days) and Messe Ost/Stockumer Kirchstraße (U78, U79, U80 and bus 722)
- Your boot ticket does not include local buses and trains, so buy a separate Rheinbahn ticket; the organiser suggests the eezy check in and check out fare in the Rheinbahn app or a 24 hour ticket for up to five people
- Bus 722 links the city centre with several stops around the fairground, including Messe-Center and Messe Süd/Congress Center
- Arriving in a motorhome? During boot the P1 car park takes motorhomes as part of the Surf Festival Camp for €25 a night plus €3 city tax per person per night, paid on site, and overnight stays need a valid admission ticket
Stockum or the city centre?
- Stockum sits beside the fairground and close to the airport, the shortest trip to the halls each morning
- The Altstadt and the city centre have far more hotels and restaurants, with direct light rail from Hauptbahnhof and Heinrich-Heine-Allee to the Messe
- The DüsseldorfCard covers buses and trains in the Düsseldorf city area for 24 to 96 hours and gives reduced entry to many attractions, handy if you add a city day
- Late January is winter in Düsseldorf, and the free cloakrooms at the entrances let you leave coats and luggage during the show

- The free boot.club membership unlocks a two day ticket for €21.00, the price of one day
- Exhibitor teams often need rooms well before opening: in 2026 stand construction in some halls began on 8 January, nine days before the show, so check the 2027 build-up times on the stand builder portal
