Nautor Group says no to boot Düsseldorf

After forced to cancel in 2021, the world’s leading water sports trade fair was committed to hold the 2022 boot Düsseldorf on January 22-30, but exhibitors are becoming less committed as the pandemic gains new traction in Düsseldorf, Germany. Here’s a message from Nautor Group CEO Giovanni Pomati:

BOOT Düsseldorf represents a very important event for us at Nautor. It’s the occasion for us to start the New Year with our clients and existing Owners, as well as meet new passionate sailors.

BOOT Düsseldorf is one of our most important shows and the biggest indoor event where the industry showcase is awe-inspiring, the atmosphere is brilliant and where a high profile audience gather together to visit the latest projects and innovations.

It’s an unmissable occasion to connect with the international nautical world and to learn about all that is new in the industry.

This year, unfortunately, the new outbreak of the pandemic, the new Omicron variant and the increase in cases, place us in the unavoidable position to cancel our participation. This wasn’t a lighthearted decision but the safety of our employees, visitors and clients is our priority and we are not prepared to jeopardize their well-being.
