    Plan your trip

    Visa & entry documents

    Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.

    Visa not required
    ATA Carnet: check with organiser

    Weather

    March in Prague is early spring: expect cold mornings, daytime highs typically around 5-10 C, nights close to freezing, and a mix of bright spells, showers and occasional late snow. Treat these as climatological bands rather than a forecast, and check a Prague forecast in the final 48 hours before travelling. Halls at PVA EXPO PRAHA are enclosed and heated, but queues, shuttle walks and car parks are outdoors, so a warm waterproof layer earns its place.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    Czech mobile networks from O2, T-Mobile and Vodafone give strong 4G and 5G coverage across Prague, including the Letňany exhibition district. Visitors from EU countries can use home-plan roaming at domestic rates; visitors from elsewhere should check their operator's Czech roaming charges or buy a prepaid Czech SIM at the airport or a city shop, which may require photo ID registration. Venue and hotel Wi-Fi handle exhibitor catalogue browsing on forboat.cz and email follow-up, but mobile data is the safer option during busy hall hours. Bring an EU-style Type C or Type E adapter; Czech sockets run at 230 V.

    Ride-hailing

    Taxis

    Public transit

    Car rentals

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Venue and registration

    For Boat takes place at PVA EXPO PRAHA in Letňany, Prague 9. Register through forboat.cz before travelling, carry your badge confirmation, and allow extra time on the first morning for the registration desks.

    Currency and payments

    The Czech koruna (CZK) is the local currency and Czechia does not use the euro. Cards are widely accepted in Prague hotels, restaurants and larger exhibitors, but keep some cash for small stands, cloakrooms and market purchases, and check any dynamic currency conversion offer before tapping.

    Language and business etiquette

    Czech is the working language of most stands, with English widely used in Prague and German often understood by dealers selling into Austria and Germany. A short greeting in Czech is appreciated; exchanges are usually direct and technically detailed rather than small talk heavy.

    Tipping and daily costs

    A tip of around 10 percent is customary in sit-down restaurants when service is not already included; check the bill. Public transport tickets, coffee and lunch near the fairground are modest by Western European standards, but budget more for central Prague.

    Transport manners

    Validate your PID ticket on first boarding and keep it until the end of the journey; inspectors do check. Offer seats on busy metro line C services and stand to the right on escalators, which is the local convention.

    Practical guides

    Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials

    Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

    Flights

    Destination: PRG

    Fly into Vaclav Havel Airport Prague (PRG) wherever possible; it is the only practical large gateway for the fair and keeps the transfer to Letňany short. Prague is served by European flag carriers and low-cost airlines from most Western and Central European cities, so direct options are usually available from hubs such as London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Vienna and Warsaw. For a March edition, book roughly six to ten weeks ahead to secure shoulder-season fares, and avoid arriving on the morning the halls open if you can, since airport transfers and hotel check-in queues coincide. Visitors from neighbouring countries should compare rail against air: Prague has direct train links from Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Poland, and the city centre station connects to metro line C for the run to Letňany. Always confirm the final fair dates on forboat.cz before locking in non-refundable tickets.

    Visa

    Non-EU business visitors typically need a Schengen short-stay visa for the Czech Republic unless their nationality is visa-exempt; the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs publishes business visa requirements and the Ministry of Interior handles long-term business stays.

    Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.

    US citizens are listed by entry-requirement trackers as not needing a visa for short Czech visits; check your own nationality against the Ministry of Foreign Affairs visa types page before booking travel to Prague.

    Official

    Transport

    Get to the venue and around the city with these options.

    Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Václav Havel Airport Prague (PRG). Allow road or rail time to PVA EXPO PRAHA; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.

    Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near PVA EXPO PRAHA: Prague (central, metro-reachable): Czech Inn, Prague; Prague: Amedia Express Prague, Trademark Collection by Wyndham; Prague: University Hotel Prague.

    Ride-hail: International ride-hailing apps and the Czech Liftago service operate in Prague, so a car can usually be booked within minutes from hotels, the airport and the Letňany fairground. Fares are metered through the app and typically land around CZK 250-450 for a cross-city trip, more at peak times or in rain. Check the estimate and vehicle plate before getting in, and use licensed operators rather than unmarked cars waiting outside the halls. For exhibitors moving display equipment, book a larger vehicle category in advance rather than relying on a standard car at the rank.

    Public transit: Prague Integrated Transport (PID) runs the metro, trams, city buses, ferries and regional trains on one ticketing system. For For Boat the key line is metro C, which terminates at Letňany, the closest station to the PVA EXPO PRAHA grounds; from there a short bus or a 10-20 minute walk completes the trip. Tickets are time-based rather than distance-based: a 90-minute ticket costs approximately CZK 40 and permits transfers between metro, tram and bus, and there are short-hop and multi-day options for longer stays. Validate the ticket at the start of travel and keep it until you exit the system. Route planning is available through the PID app and pid.cz, and airport arrivals can use the Airport Express bus to reach the metro network.

    Parking: PVA EXPO PRAHA has parking areas serving the exhibition halls, with charges set by the venue; confirm current daily rates and which car park serves your hall with the organiser before arrival. Build-up and dismantle days see the heaviest vehicle traffic, including trailers and boat transports, so exhibitors should agree access gates and unloading windows with venue technical services in advance. Visitors driving into Prague can also use the P+R car parks on the city outskirts and finish the journey by metro. This avoids central congestion and is usually cheaper than all-day city parking, but confirm tariffs and opening hours at parking.praha.eu.

    Weather

    Plan and pack for the event climate.

    Month: March (spring shoulder season for the 2027 edition)

    Temperature: Daytime highs typically around 5-10 C, with nights close to 0 C and occasional frost. Treat this as a climatological band for Prague in March and check a current forecast before travelling.

    Seasonality: March is a transitional month with a mix of bright, dry spells and passing showers, plus the chance of a late snowfall; roughly a third of days see some precipitation. Daylight lengthens noticeably during the month, which helps if you plan evening walks after the halls close. Outdoor queues, car parks and walks from Letňany station are exposed, so keep a compact umbrella or waterproof shell in your bag.

    Packing: Pack layers: a warm mid-layer for cold mornings, a waterproof outer shell for March showers, and comfortable walking shoes for concrete exhibition floors and the walk from Letňany station. Add gloves and a hat if you feel the cold, plus a power bank and a Type C or Type E plug adapter for Czech 230 V sockets. Business casual is the norm on stands, with a slightly smarter jacket useful for dealer dinners in central Prague. Leave space in your bag for catalogues, chandlery samples and the paperwork that boat and engine quotes generate.

    Plan your trip

    Planning

    Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)

    Mid-show days at For Boat 2027 usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.

    T-1

    14 days out: Confirm the For Boat open days and hall hours on forboat.cz, then register for a visitor ticket online and keep the confirmation PDF on your phone as well as printed.

    T-2

    13 days out: Build a shortlist from the forboat.cz exhibitor list, grouped by what you actually want to compare, such as motorboats in a given length band, outboard engine brands, or chandlery ranges for a shop.

    T-3

    12 days out: If you are buying a hull or engine, prepare a one-page specification sheet (length, beam, engine power, intended water and budget band) so dealers can quote precisely on the stand.

    T-4

    11 days out: Book accommodation early, prioritising hotels on or near metro line C so the trip to Letňany is a single metro ride plus a short bus or walk.

    T-5

    10 days out: Check whether your nationality needs a Schengen short-stay visa for Czechia and, if so, start the application and travel-insurance paperwork immediately.

    T-6

    9 days out: Compare flights into Vaclav Havel Airport Prague (PRG) against rail or road options from neighbouring markets; Prague is also reachable by train from Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Poland.

    T-7

    8 days out: Request meeting slots with priority exhibitors by email, naming the hall or stand if it is already published, and confirm who from the sales team will be present.

    T-8

    7 days out: Draft a walking plan for the halls and leave buffer time; boat exhibits are large and crossing the fairground between halls takes longer than a typical consumer show.

    T-9

    6 days out: Arrange Czech koruna cash for small purchases and check card acceptance with your bank; most Prague venues take cards but small stands may prefer cash.

    T-10

    5 days out: Sort out connectivity: activate an EU roaming plan or plan a prepaid Czech SIM, and download the PID public transport app plus an offline map of Prague 9.

    T-11

    4 days out: Pack for a March Prague visit with layers, a waterproof outer shell and comfortable shoes for concrete exhibition floors; check the forecast two days before departure.

    T-12

    3 days out: Print or download the venue address (PVA EXPO PRAHA, Letňany, Prague 9) and plan your route from the hotel, including the metro line C connection to Letňany station.

    T-13

    2 days out: Confirm any evening meetings or dealer dinners, and check the last metro and tram times if you plan to stay in the halls until closing.

    T-14

    1 day out: Re-check the organiser site for late programme changes, charge power banks, and set aside time to revisit your top two boat or engine stands before leaving.

    Glossary

    1
    PVA EXPO PRAHA
    The exhibition complex in Prague's Letňany district (Prague 9) that hosts For Boat; it is operated by PVA EXPO, a.s. and is one of the two organisers of this fair alongside ABF, a.s.
    2
    Letňany
    The Prague 9 neighbourhood that contains the PVA EXPO PRAHA fairground; it is also the name of the terminus station on metro line C, the closest metro stop to the venue.
    3
    Chandlery
    The retail and trade segment covering small boat equipment: anchors, ropes, fenders, cleats, deck fittings, pumps, covers and general outfitting. Chandlery buyers are a core visitor group at For Boat.
    4
    RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat)
    A boat with a rigid hull and inflatable tubes along the gunwales, used for leisure, club coaching, rescue and patrol work. RIBs and inflatables are a recurring product family at Czech boat fairs.
    5
    Outboard vs inboard engine
    An outboard is a self-contained propulsion unit mounted on the transom; an inboard engine sits inside the hull and drives the propeller through a shaft or stern drive. Exhibitors at For Boat cover both configurations and their service parts.
    6
    Berth and mooring
    A berth is the allocated space where a boat is kept at a marina or pontoon; mooring refers to the lines and hardware used to secure the boat. Marina and docking suppliers exhibit these systems at the fair.
    7
    Trailerable boat
    A boat sized and shaped to be carried on a road trailer, which suits landlocked markets such as Czechia where owners move craft between home storage and reservoirs. Trailers, winches and launch gear are part of the For Boat product mix.
    8
    Recreational Craft Directive (2013/53/EU)
    The EU rules that set safety, construction and environmental requirements for recreational craft sold in the European Union, together with CE marking obligations. Boat dealers exhibiting at a Czech fair sell into this framework.
    9
    Antifouling and osmosis treatment
    Antifouling is a hull coating that limits marine growth; osmosis treatment addresses moisture blistering in GRP hulls. Both are routine service lines for boat yards and coatings brands exhibiting at For Boat.
    10
    Dry storage and winterisation
    Keeping a boat ashore, often on a rack or trailer, rather than afloat, plus the end-of-season preparation that protects engines, water systems and hulls. Relevant to Czech owners who store craft through the winter.
    11
    PID (Prague Integrated Transport)
    Prague's unified public transport system of metro, trams, buses, ferries and regional trains, run under Prague Integrated Transport. Timed tickets cover transfers and must be validated at the start of the journey.
