NORTHSTAR III Wins Saint-Tropez Maxi 1 in 15–20-Knot Breeze
NORTHSTAR III has followed its light-air opening performance with a real-time Maxi 1 victory in stronger 15–20-knot conditions at Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez.
boot Düsseldorf has opened preparations for its 2027 edition with a dedicated superyacht hall, marine technology categories and a nine-day January programme.
boot Düsseldorf has set 23–31 January 2027 for its next international yacht and watersports exhibition, with the organiser again reserving Hall 6 for the superyacht sector while marine engines, equipment, services and technology run across the wider show. The current event material also confirms that the blue innovation dock will return as the business and policy forum for maritime innovation.
The organiser’s current superyacht information positions Hall 6 as the focal point for large motor yachts, sailing yachts, project presentations, accessories and specialist services. It also highlights luxury tenders and so-called superboats, linking large-yacht ownership with the support craft and equipment markets that surround it.
That makes the Düsseldorf exhibition relevant beyond series production boats. Shipyards, designers, equipment makers and service businesses can use the event as an early-season meeting point, although the final 2027 exhibitor and yacht lists remain subject to later confirmation.
The official focus categories include engines and related equipment, yachting equipment and accessories, services, marinas and charter alongside complete boats and yachts. This structure gives propulsion, onboard systems and technical suppliers a defined place in the programme rather than treating them as secondary exhibitors.
For Superyacht Guide, that breadth is important because the operating side of the sector extends from propulsion and electrical systems to refit, marina infrastructure and specialist support. Individual product launches should still be reported separately when manufacturers publish confirmed specifications.
boot Düsseldorf says the blue innovation dock will again bring together industry, technology, investment and policy discussions. Marine conservation and sustainable technologies are also identified by the organiser as recurring themes for the next edition.
The forum does not itself establish new technical standards or certify products. Its value is as a meeting platform where industry participants can discuss regulation, investment and emerging technology while the exhibition halls show commercially available systems and new projects.
The 58th edition is scheduled to run daily from 10am to 6pm between 23 and 31 January 2027, with earlier access for trade visitors under the organiser’s ticket arrangements. Messe Düsseldorf cites more than 200,000 visitors and nearly 1,500 exhibitors for the previous edition when describing the scale of the event.
Those historical figures are not a forecast for 2027 attendance. The next useful newsroom milestones will be the confirmed exhibitor database, named superyacht projects and manufacturer announcements as the January opening approaches.
