The Paris Nautic Show will return to the Paris-Le Bourget Exhibition Centre from 25 to 29 November 2026, bringing together sailing yachts, motorboats, marine equipment, watersports and new approaches to getting afloat.
The five-day exhibition will feature leading international boatbuilders, new model launches, charter operators and marine technology, alongside hands-on activities and presentations celebrating a century of recreational boating in Paris.
New yachts and international boatbuilders
Sailing yacht brands exhibiting include Beneteau, Jeanneau, Amel, X-Yachts and JPK, while Lagoon, Excess and Dragonfly will represent the multihull sector. Motorboat exhibitors will include Prestige, Wellcraft, Quarken, De Antonio Yachts, Saxdor, White Shark and brands from the Brunswick Group.
Rib manufacturers will include Zodiac, Lomac, Capelli, Highfield, Joker Boat, Brig, Grand and 3D Marine.
Organisers expect new models and world premieres, including Beneteau's Oceanis 40, a 50-foot sailing yacht from Amel, and additions to Jeanneau's Cap Camarat range.
Marine equipment and engines will also be on display, with Harken, Seldén Mast, North Sails, and Navico Group among the represented suppliers. Engine manufacturers will include Yamaha, Mercury Marine, Suzuki, Honda Marine and Selva.
New ways to get afloat
A major theme will be the changing ways people access boating, particularly through chartering, subscriptions and boat sharing. Liberty Pass will showcase its monthly subscription model, while Dream Yacht, Sunsail/The Moorings, GlobeSailor and Catlante will offer options from traditional yacht charters to cabin cruises.

Inland boating will also feature, with Le Boat and Les Canalous promoting canal and river holidays across France and Europe. Boat refitting and technologies designed to extend the working lives of existing vessels will also feature.
Watersports and offshore sailing stars
A 30-metre demonstration pool will host free introductory sessions in scuba diving, stand-up paddleboarding, windsurfing and wingfoiling, alongside professional demonstrations.
Multiple windsurfing world champion Antoine Albeau and offshore sailor Alexia Barrier will act as ambassadors for the event, with opportunities for visitors to meet them and hear about their experiences.
Maritime festivals and offshore racing
Wednesday, 25 November, will be dedicated to Finistère, highlighting the region's maritime traditions, offshore racing and sailing training organisations, including the Institut Nautique de Bretagne and the Glénans sailing school.
The programme will also preview the Armada of Rouen (17 to 27 June 2027) and the Brest Maritime Festival (9 to 14 July 2027). Discussions will feature offshore racing following the 2026 Route du Rhum, while a tribute to Charlie Dalin will include a screening of his film L'Albatros hurleur.
Celebrating 100 years of boating in Paris
The 2026 exhibition will mark a century of boating shows in Paris, with a retrospective tracing developments in recreational boating since 1926.
The show will recognise innovation through its Cap Innovation competition, with awards for Innovative Product, Innovative Service, and Eco-Responsible Innovation. Winners are scheduled to be announced on Thursday, 26 November, at 2.30 pm.
