ancora Yachtfestival

23 - 25 May 2025

The ancora YACHTFESTIVAL, Germany's largest in-water boat show,
invites you from 23 May - 25 May 2025 to its 16th edition at the 5-star Ancora marina in Neustadt at the Baltic Sea.

ancora YACHTFESTIVAL

Germany's biggest InWater Boat Show

“More Yacht, More Life” is the motto of Germany’s largest in-water boat show.

At the start of the yachting season, around 160 motor and sailing yachts present themselves in their natural element, the water. Discover new boats and yachts and find out about the latest accessories shown in 100 pagoda tents and on 1,500 square meters in the modern exhibition hall. Be inspired by our expert lectures, workshops and demonstrations and let the exciting entertainment program inspire you. Sample delicious food and drink at the food court. Relax on the beach with a view of the Lübeck Bay and observe the brave people trying out wingfoiling, windsurfing, cat sailing, or test the latest e-boards right on the water.

The festival has long since become the meeting place for yachting enthusiasts at the Baltic Sea in Spring, and a fixed date for all those who want to get a comprehensive overview of the market.

Come on board!
