Arkle Finance is off to Boot Düsseldorf. Are you?

14 January 2025

With 16 giant halls and nine themed areas covering 220,000 sqm, The Düsseldorf International Boat Show, more commonly known as Boot Düsseldorf (or just Boot) is the world’s largest yacht and watersports show.

Taking place between 18-26 January, every conceivable watersport industry is represented – from motorboats to super yachts and so much more. And with the recent demise of the London Boat Show, that was traditionally held in January, this is one winter boat extravaganza not to miss.

Arkle’s marine finance specialist, Tom Milne, will be on hand at the show to talk you through how we can help you own the boat of your dreams. Arkle Finance is a leading player in the UK’s marine finance space providing funding for a wide range of motor yachts, sports boats and sailing yachts, new or preowned and priced between £40,000-£1 million. We can help arrange the registration of yachts, mortgages and liaise with your chosen boat broker to ensure that the yacht finance progresses at a pace to suit you. We also provide funding for commercially operated recreational craft and coastal work boats.

There is always a strong UK presence among the 1,500 exhibitors from 67 nations at Boot at Düsseldorf – and given its size, the show has always proved popular for UK buyers. It allows them to not only compare boats between the vast array of different manufacturers but also compare the different models across a manufacturer’s range.

We’d highly recommend the Boot event to any marine enthusiast or professional. Should you wish to chat with Tom about the show or meet him when you are there, then please contact him at tmilne@arklefinance.co.uk. As always, Tom will be happy to meet with you to discuss your plans and answer any questions about financing your next boat.
