Organisers of this year’s Hiswa te Water Boat Show are promising the largest show ever with an even greater number of ‘firsts’.
The show will again be held at Lelystad’s Bataviahaven from 28 August to 1 September with yachts from 6m to 24 metres alongside countless accessories with almost all of the available spaces sold out.
“On the internet, the offer is fragmented, but in the Bataviahaven everything is conveniently together,” said show director, Arjen Rahusen. “We show a great diversity of boats, not just sloops and RIBs that can look hugely similar on a screen. The Hiswa te Water offers a wide range, so there is a lot for visitors to compare.”
Among the yachts on display will be the Arcona 50 and the Shogun 43. There will also be models from Saffier, Frisian Breehorn and KM Yachting is back in Lelystad with two Bestevaers.
Among the motor yachts, notable Dutch entries include the Stratos DB 50 from Lengers Yachts, the Mulder Favorite 1700, the Holterman X65, the Steeler Ocean Explorer 22, the Van der Heijden Phantom Flybridge 70, Boarncruiser Center Sleeper and the Vanquish VQ 58.
The largest sloop and tender will be the Gulliver 1300.
Enkhuizen Sloops will bring the new 922 cabin and AluShip will show three firsts, the S-tender, the 720 cabin tender and the Tyfoon.
In the growing electric segment, the Qrafter eQruiser 680 plus and the Italian Transfluid sloop are highlights.
This year there are around 200 applications for the Boat of the Year.
The nominees and winners of the award will be announced on 27 August, on the evening before the show opening.
Companies such as Linssen (75 years), Boarnstream (60 years), X-Yachts Benelux (40 years) Jonkers Yachts (25 years) will also celebrate reaching special milestones at the fair.
