MGM Boats will return to Boot Düsseldorf from 17–25 January with its full sales team on-site throughout the nine-day event.

The company will be present across eight stands, including a dedicated brokerage stand in Hall 5 (Stand E45), marking its tenth consecutive year in that location.

Boot Düsseldorf is the world’s largest indoor boat show, featuring over 1,500 boats across 16 halls. The exhibition also includes chandlery, marine electronics, and boating accessories.

MGM Boats’ team will represent a range of leading brands, including Lagoon Catamarans and Jeanneau Sail in Hall 16, Delphia Yachts and Jeanneau Power in Hall 1, Axopar Boats in Hall 4, Prestige Motor Yachts in Hall 6, and Zodiac & Bombard in Hall 9.

Visitors who register in advance can arrange a dedicated time with the sales team. “We’re inviting clients to register now so we can schedule viewings of the boats on display,” said Martin Salmon of MGM Boats.

A special show offer includes a full refund on flights and accommodation, capped at €1,200, for customers who order a new boat during the event.

Direct flights from Dublin to Düsseldorf are available via Aer Lingus and Eurowings. To register or schedule a meeting, contact Martin Salmon at [email protected] or +353 87 2263598.

There are direct flights from Dublin with Aer Lingus and Eurowings. If you are travelling to the show, we would be delighted to meet up with you to discuss your boating needs. Please contact Martin Salmon on +353 87 2263598 [email protected] for further details.

About MGM Boats

MGM Boats is one of Ireland's leading boat brokers now operating internationally as well as throughout Ireland. MGM Boats was founded in 1997 by brothers Martin and Gerry Salmon who were previously worked as a carpenter, joiner and glass fibre laminator in the 1980s. Martin progressed to boat retailing in the late 1980s and Gerry was a service manager in the 1990s. From these many years of experience, MGM Boats was founded in 1997. It started out as a service, maintenance and repairs company based in Malahide, Co. Dublin.

The company grew in 1998 when the Aquador dealership was acquired. Starting as they meant to go on, in 2001 MGM became distributors for Jeanneau Motorboats and Yachts and also opened its second office in Belfast. MGM had begun to create what would be an international and acclaimed brokerage company.

In 2003, MGM Boats moved to Dun Laoghaire Harbour, Co. Dublin. The large office space and yard expanded the service department and paved the way for MGM to acquire the dealership for Sunseeker in Ireland in 2003.

From then, MGM built up its brokerage listings and in 2009 it opened its office in Hamble, UK. This has led to many years of MGM being present at all major UK boat shows, and each year growing their presence and listings.

The success of MGM's brokerage listings spread internationally, leading in 2012 to 2 new offices being opened in the Mediterranean - in Villamoura, Portugal and Mallorca, Spain. The now international brand and team throughout these years received many awards for their enterprising spirit, customer service and international presence, including winning Sunseeker Distributor of the Year in 2007, 2009 and 2011.

This also led to a new Irish office being opened in Kinsale, Co. Cork increasing their presence within Ireland as well as abroad.
