While November shows its cold, dark side outside, BOOT & FUN creates a summer atmosphere in the exhibition halls under the radio tower. The leisure trade fair for water sports and lifestyle presents more than 600 motorboats, electric boats, houseboats and sailing yachts and traditionally invites visitors to the Berlin Exhibition Grounds at the end of November for the grand finale of the season. This year, for the first time, BOOT & FUN is part of the new OutVenture Berlin, which will unite the leisure and outdoor segments with over 850 exhibitors and brands across 90,000 m² in 16 halls.

"BOOT & FUN is an absolute must for anyone who lives and loves water sports. Under the motto “Look. Test. Buy.” visitors can experience and compare trends, innovations and modern boat models directly on site – and, if interested, buy them right away,‘ says Daniel Barkowski, project manager of BOOT & FUN. ’Under the umbrella of OutVenture Berlin, BOOT & FUN will also become part of a new, diverse world of experiences for everyone looking for outdoor adventures."
