Ivo Herzog, CEO, Herzog Marinecenter AG: “We have had positive results at the INTERBOOT 2013. We were able to make a lot of interesting contacts, which have resulted in some business. We are satisfied and are looking to the future with optimism. We will be back at the INTERBOOT next year.“ Gerhard Schöchl, CEO, Sunbeam Yachts Schöchl Yachtbau GmbH: “The INTERBOOT has always been a good show. The visitors are in a positive mood. The organization of the show is very good and the team exudes warmth. Our business success here has been positive in two respects - first because the sales themselves have been satisfactory and second because they have been evenly distributed among our customers from Austria, Switzerland and Germany. You can see that the entire region here in the south is in a positive mood.“ Gregor Zurfluh, CEO, Fallenbach Werft AG, (Dufour/Seascape): “So far, we are pleased with how this year’s show went. Although it felt like less was happening during the week, the right customers were here. They were interested and ready to buy. We already sold our largest boat, the Dufour 500, during the show. I consider that a good sign, especially for boats in our size class. We have been coming to the INTERBOOT for over 30 years and for us it is the most important show for our Swiss customers.“

Promising Location At the INTERBOOT at the Lake of Constance we present your products and services amidst one of the most popular watersports areas of Europe. The fact that you are in the centre of markets with a high purchasing power, makes the location even more attractive. Its direct catchment area includes the countries Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Austria, as well as Southern Germany. About 14.3 million people with an above-average available income, compared to the
David Clavadetscher, Managing Director of the Swiss Boatbuilders Association: “Fundamentally, the Swiss exhibitors at the INTERBOOT are very satisfied. As in the past, we have continued to notice how many well-qualified Swiss visitors we have here at the show. Interested buyers tend to visit during the week. The expo’s supporting program with the Trade Fair Lake and the INTERBOOT Harbor are a delight for exhibitors and visitors alike. With its efforts to encourage the next generation, ‘Cash for Tricks’ and the INTERBOOT youth camp, the INTERBOOT has set the right course.“

The majority of international visitors comes from Switzerland which has the highest concentration of boats in relation to the number of inhabitants, by the way, with 100,000 licensed sports boats. The fact that so many watersports enthusiasts from neighbour countries visit the INTERBOOT, is not least due to the close
Peter Grimm, Member of the management and co-owner, Brunnert-Grimm AG: “The INTERBOOT is always at the right time of the year, first because the customers take the positive feelings of summer with them and because it gives us enough time to deliver the boats that are ordered right on schedule for the start of the 2014 season. In 2013, like every year, we saw strong interest from the public with a high proportion of trade visitors who weren’t just interested in looking but were very inquisitive, which is why we are expecting some business to come out of the show once it’s over. I estimate that there were more Swiss at the show this year than last year. For our company, the INTERBOOT remains the most important event outside of our shipyard. We feel very comfortable here in Friedrichshafen and interested members of the public as well as existing customers enjoy coming to visit us here at the show.“

Patric Polch, CEO, Boote Polch KG: “We are satisfied with the show. The visitors were interested and there were a lot of Swiss guests at our stand. We also noticed that a lot of sail boaters visited the motorboat halls, which is great for us, because our products are also well-loved by sail boaters who want to switch over to motor boating. Our experience here at the INTERBOOT has been one of a very professional and warm expo team - from the parking attendant to the head of the expo.“

The INTERBOOT radiates a good atmosphere.“ Ed Houben, Sales Engineer, Linssen Yachts: “This year we are very satisfied with the visitor numbers and also with the quality of the guests. Sales are certain to result from this show, I’m sure of that. We are also very pleased with the exhibition hall planning at the INTERBOOT. Every visitor gets his money’s worth here.
