Our goal: to finally meet our customers from Germany in person. The conclusion is clear \u2013 we\u2019ll be back.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group i2tb-keyfacts\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"i2tb-keyfacts__title wp-block-paragraph\">At a glance<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>What:<\/strong> IN2THEBLUE&#8217;s first trade fair appearance at boot D\u00fcsseldorf<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>When:<\/strong> January 17 to 25, 2026<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Highlights:<\/strong> virtual helm station, grinder challenge, talks on family sailing<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Topics:<\/strong> skipper training, German sailing certificates, RYA training, yacht charter, and yacht investment<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong> boot D\u00fcsseldorf will become a permanent fixture in our annual planning<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"warum-wir-2026-nach-duesseldorf-gegangen-sind\">Why we went to D\u00fcsseldorf in 2026<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We thought about it for a long time before taking the plunge. boot D\u00fcsseldorf is not only huge, it also spans nine days \u2013 for a company of our size, that is a considerable effort.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At some point, however, it was clear: we didn&#8217;t just want to know our German customers via email or phone, but <strong>meet them in person<\/strong>. In Austria, Boot Tulln has long been more than just a classic trade fair for us \u2013 it&#8217;s a meeting point for regular customers, a place for conversations and new ideas. We wanted to experience exactly that feeling in D\u00fcsseldorf too.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"unser-stand-virtueller-steuerstand-grinder-und-kaffee-aus-oesterreich\">Our stand: virtual helm station, grinder, and coffee from Austria<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With an extraordinary, individual trade fair stand, which boot D\u00fcsseldorf made possible for us in this form, we were able to get a taste of the German trade fair atmosphere for the first time. The stand quickly became a familiar meeting point.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Virtual helm station:<\/strong> Many visitors experienced for themselves how boat maneuvers feel from a completely new perspective \u2013 find out more in our <a href=\"https:\/\/in2theblue.com\/en\/virtual-training-learning-materials\/\">virtual training and learning materials<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Grinder Challenge:<\/strong> Here, everyone could test their own performance limits. Many were surprised by how much strength is involved in sailing \u2013 and there was ambitious competition for personal records.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>The &#8220;Kaffeteria von Villach&#8221;:<\/strong> Austrian coffee in the middle of D\u00fcsseldorf \u2013 the perfect place for cozy chats.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"segelausbildung-charter-und-yachtinvest-im-gespraech\">Sail training, charter, and yacht investment in focus<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, we also used the fair to present our services. Numerous visitors and existing customers inquired about <a href=\"https:\/\/in2theblue.com\/en\/training\/\">skipper training<\/a>, German qualifications such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/in2theblue.com\/en\/sks-sailing-certificate\/\">SKS<\/a>, and the internationally recognized <a href=\"https:\/\/in2theblue.com\/en\/rya\/\">RYA training<\/a>. The different training paths in particular led to many exciting discussions.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/in2theblue.com\/en\/sailing-yacht-charter\/\">Yacht charter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/in2theblue.com\/en\/yacht-invest\/\">yacht investment<\/a> also met with great interest. We were able to show how ownership and charter can be combined and what opportunities this creates for future owners.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A special focus was on our <strong>talks on family sailing<\/strong>. For us, sailing is more than a sport: it&#8217;s time together, adventure, and nature \u2013 and the chance to experience something special as a family. You can find suitable offers under <a href=\"https:\/\/in2theblue.com\/en\/skipper-training-for-families-children\/\">skipper training for families and children<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"unser-fazit-duesseldorf-wir-kommen-wieder\">Our conclusion: D\u00fcsseldorf, we\u2019ll be back<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After our first participation, one thing is certain: <strong>we want to come back 100 percent.<\/strong> The many personal encounters, the great interest, and the response to our offers showed that the decision was right.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Initial hesitation has therefore turned into a clear decision: boot D\u00fcsseldorf will become a permanent fixture in our annual planning. Just like Boot Tulln in Austria, we want to make D\u00fcsseldorf an annual meeting point for customers, friends, and partners in Germany.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group i2tb-faq\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"haeufige-fragen\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>When did boot D\u00fcsseldorf 2026 take place?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">boot D\u00fcsseldorf 2026 took place from January 17 to 25, 2026, in D\u00fcsseldorf.
