BOOT & FUN Berlin is the boat show for inland waters: motorboats, sailing yachts, houseboats, electric boats and water sports, four days under the radio tower, together with fishing, caravanning and off-road under the OutVenture Berlin umbrella. A public show with packed weekend halls — we photograph and film your boat so hull, deck and cabin convince even without water.

In the hall a boat lacks everything that makes it beautiful on the water: reflections, horizon, movement. What remains is a hull on stands, gelcoat that mirrors every hall light, and an aisle full of visitors. We photograph hulls in the hour before opening with a polarising filter and our own light, from a low viewpoint and with a wide angle without converging lines — so the boat looks like a boat even in the hall, not like an exhibit.
Deck and cabin are the second task: small spaces, light wood, upholstery, chrome, little daylight. We expose for interior and windows together and work with a wide angle so saloon, galley and berths read as a space. For your online catalogue this produces interior shots that otherwise only a session at the jetty delivers.
Electric drives, houseboats and refit offers are best explained in conversation. We film your salesperson walking the boat with gimbal and radio mic — 60 seconds from bow to stern, vertical for Instagram and horizontal for your website. Accessories, engines and electronics are photographed on the stand with our own light so displays and type plates stay legible.
Visitor voices are valuable at a public show: families stepping aboard for the first time, skippers comparing. With consent we record short statements that make your listing on the next boat portal more credible than any product photo.
Thursday is the quietest day: trade visitors, dealers, press and little crowding. We recommend a four-hour package on Thursday, starting in the hour before opening for clean boat and stand shots, then conversations, walk-through and interviews. Saturday and Sunday are public days with very full aisles — right for pictures with people aboard, wrong for calm product shots.
The highlight video and a first selection of images are ready on Thursday evening — your post appears before the weekend visitors set off.
Gelcoat without reflections, low viewpoint and wide angle without converging lines — before opening.
Interiors with exposure balanced between space and windows — wood, upholstery and chrome true to colour.
60 seconds from bow to stern with gimbal and radio mic — vertical for Instagram, horizontal for the website.
Boats and stand architecture before the doors open, with no visitors in frame.
Drives, electronics and equipment with our own light — displays and type plates legible.
Statements from skippers, customers and your team with radio mics, delivered with subtitles.
A post with your stand while the show is still running gets seen and shared. That is why every package includes finished photos and video within 24 hours after the event ends — first images usually the same day. Two revision rounds included.
A sample from our production: the event recap for your website and LinkedIn — below it, native 9:16 footage for Reels, Shorts and Stories, shot in parallel with the main coverage.
