The ancora YACHTFESTIVAL, Germany's largest in-water boat show, invites you to its 17th edition at the 5-star ancora Marina in Neustadt in Holstein from May 8 to 10, 2026.

As the yachting season begins, around 160 yachts will be showcased in their natural element, the water. Discover new boats and yachts, and get information about the latest accessories in approximately 90 pagodas and 1,500 square meters in the modern exhibition hall. Experience the passion for yachting with us through expert lectures, workshops, and demonstrations. Enjoy culinary delights at the food court and relax on the beach with a view of the Bay of Lübeck. With optimist sailing, motorboating, wooden boat building, and surfing taster courses directly on the beach, we also offer plenty of fun for children.

The festival has long since become a meeting place for yachting enthusiasts on the Baltic Sea in spring and a fixed date for all those who want to get a comprehensive overview of the market.
