Boot Düsseldorf 2025: Exploring new horizons in boating

From world premieres to industry trends, here's everything you missed at Europe's biggest boat show

Another exciting chapter of the world's largest yacht and watersports show has concluded. Boot Düsseldorf 2025 offered a unique opportunity to explore new trends, connect with industry professionals, and experience the next generation of boating. For Nordkapp, it was a chance to present our latest developments, including the Dune concept, which inspired our boats and stand design.

 

Highlights included the world premiere showcase of the Nordkapp Coupe 780 and a first glimpse of the upcoming centre console boat Nordkapp Enduro 830. If you missed the show, here's your chance to catch up on all the highlights and discover what's next.

A tease of what's to come

 

A welcomed surprise was the debut of Nordkapp's new magazine, featuring engaging boating stories and information about our boat models. In the 36-page magazine, you'll find an exclusive first look at the Nordkapp Enduro 830, an upcoming addition to our centre console boat series.

Nordkapp's experience at Boot Düsseldorf 2025

 

Over 3,000 visitors explored the Nordkapp stand during the show. It was a pleasure to meet long-time Nordkapp family members and new boat owners who joined our community after making purchases during the event.

 

One of the main subjects of conversation was the Dune concept, Nordkapp's new interior colour, which extended seamlessly from our boats to our stand design, creating a welcoming atmosphere.

 

The Coupe 905 and Coupe 830 wheelhouse boats garnered the most attention, with visitors drawn to their balance of functionality and comfort. Features such as the sun sail had much appeal; this option is now available for Coupe 905, Coupe 830, Airborne 8, and Enduro 805, among others. The Dune interior with optional S-Deck or Flexiteek flooring across all displayed models became key conversation points throughout the exhibition.


Several media outlets visited us, including Båtmagasinet from Norway, which reviewed the world premiere of the Coupe 780. In addition, boat journalists from France, Spain, Germany, the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Italy captured Nordkapp's presence at the show. Much attention was given to the distinctive design and hulls of Nordkapp boats. Powerboat & RIB stopped by for a tour of the stand and, most importantly, a closer look at our Noblesse 830.

Our export sales manager, Ola Thorvaldsen, reflected on the event:

"Boot 2025 was an amazing experience with much traffic from end customers, industry magazines, and partners. Our new stand aligned perfectly with the boat's design and attracted a great deal of positive attention. Particularly pleasing was the excellent feedback on the quality of our boats."

New partnerships on the horizon

 

Exciting collaborations were formed during Boot 2025, bringing new European dealerships on board. And more additions to the Nordkapp family are coming soon. Stay tuned to our newsletter for updates and more details about these promising developments.

Trends in the boating industry

 

This year's show highlighted a shift toward larger engines and natural design elements. V8 and V10 engines are growing in popularity as manufacturers like Mercury respond to the demand for powerful, low-emission options that enhance performance and reliability.

 

Warm colours and sustainable materials were another prominent trend, with Scandinavian-inspired design making waves across the show. The use of natural woods as both main features and accents underscored a growing interest in aesthetics with eco-conscious solutions. We're excited to continue evolving in this direction, bringing the best of Norway and Scandinavia to the global boating market.

 

We're also closely following advancements in boat technology and digital innovation, which promise to shape the future of boating in exciting ways.

Number of visitors at Boot Düsseldorf 2025

 

This year's exhibition welcomed 214,000 visitors who explored 1,500 exhibitors across more than 220,000 square metres of event space. If you're planning to visit Boot 2026, we recommend spending at least two days at the show to experience all it has to offer.
