Organisers of Boot Holland, the Netherlands’ only indoor watersport fair, have announced the cancellation of this year’s event.

Originally set to take place from 5-9 March, ticket sales opened only earlier this month for the show in Leeuwarden, which has now been moved to 11-15 March 2026.

As Marine Industry News reports, organisers said the decision was made “in consultation with various stakeholders” and was “not taken lightly”.

It’s the latest in a series of boat show cancellations citing prevailing market conditions, coming just says after organisers of the Gothenburg Boat Show in Sweden said the 2025 edition will be their last.
