boot Dusseldorf is a significant event in the marine leisure and superyacht calendar with 214,000 visitors from 120 countries and more than 1,500 exhibitors from 67 nations on 220,000 square metres in 16 exhibition halls, boot Düsseldorf is the largest yacht and watersports show in the world.


British Superyacht Ambassadors Jonathan Turner, Ruth Douglas, Kerrie Gray and Gill Rodrigues joined CEO Richard Selby who said, "It has been a great pleasure to meet with Petros and Niels and to remind superyacht businesses based around the British Isles of the benefit overseas shows can have in their export growth objectives. The supply chain behind those businesses are, collectively, significant contributors to the UK economy and it is vital that the UK government recognise this importance and provide appropriate support in the international trade arena."


British Superyacht would like to thank Toby Moore and his team at BOAT International Media for their support with a successful networking event.
