Trade fair preview: The most important innovations at Hiswa te Water 2024
More than 400 boats will be on display at this year's Hiswa te Water in Lelystad, from small dinghies to proud luxury yachts. This means that the organisers have once again been able to significantly increase participation compared to last year. According to the fair management, the space available in the Batavia harbour for the 2024 edition is now fully booked.
Many new products and even numerous premieres will also be presented. For example, the brand new Hanse 360, which will undoubtedly be a real crowd-puller among the sailing yachts. The Detailed exclusive test of this exciting yacht from Germany can already be read here. In the gallery above, we have summarised the most important new releases from the trade fair.
But there is even more to see and experience at Hiswa te Water than boats. In the many tents that line the circular harbour area, numerous exhibitors present a wide range of equipment, clothing and maritime service products. In addition, the trade fair programme is complemented by a whole series of sporting attractions, interesting lectures and exhibitions worth seeing.
