Nearly 40,000 visitors attended the Paris Nautic Show from 26 to 30 November, organisers say, confirming the strong expectations of both the public and the marine trade.
Christophe Vieux, director of M2 Organisation, organiser of the event — the first boat show in Paris for some years — said: “We wanted to create a show that is useful, clear and forward-looking. The exhibitors’ level of engagement and the results of this first edition fully validate this ambition.
“We are already working with all our partners to build an even more impactful 2026 edition for the industry.”
One of the main exhibitors during the week was Beneteau, who introduced the new Grand Turismo 50 Alpine Edition (contact Irish agents BJ Marine for more) as well as hosting the world premieres of Jeanneau’s Sun Odyssey 455 and Sea Loft 480 (get in touch with MGM Boats for more details).
Bruno Thivoyon, chairman of the management board of Groupe Beneteau said: “After a three-year break, the decision to support the new Paris Nautic Show has clearly paid off. This successful event confirms the importance of a Paris show to meet our French customers during the winter.
“The enthusiastic public responded strongly, with a sustained desire to sail and enjoy themselves. The 33 boats from our seven participating brands were warmly welcomed, and our new models — from the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 455 to the limited-edition Beneteau Gran Turismo 50 Alpine Series — generated real excitement. For Groupe Beneteau and its dealer network, objectives have been met and momentum is strong.”
Dates for the next edition of the Paris Nautic Show are already confirmed: 25 to 29 November 2026, once again at the Parc des Expositions du Bourget.
