After a three-year break, the international boat show in Paris has made an impressive return. The first edition of the relaunched Paris Nautic Show attracted around 40,000 visitors from 26 to 30 November, confirming the high expectations of the public and the industry.

Right from the start, it was clear that the trade fair format in Paris is quickly re-establishing itself as a central industry meeting point. From shipyards and accessory manufacturers to tourism providers and innovation companies - the entire nautical value chain was represented. The diversity of exhibitors impressively demonstrated the dynamism and efficiency of the French marine industry.

According to surveys conducted by the trade fair management, many manufacturers rated the trade fair audience particularly positively: the vast majority consisted of experienced boat owners, ambitious water sports enthusiasts and specific prospective buyers. The exhibitors saw this as a clear indicator of real market potential on site.

Plenty of positive momentum for the entire industry

Other voices from the industry also confirmed the all-round positive conclusion. Jean-Paul Chapeleau, President of the French Boat Industry Association, described the trade fair as an important market forum with tangible business momentum. As the international market leader, the Bénéteau Group also drew a clear balance. In total, the powerful group of companies was present with no fewer than 33 boats from seven brands, including many new products and premieres.

After this successful restart, one thing is certain: the Paris Nautic Show is back - and stronger than ever. The next edition has already been announced and will once again take place at the Parc des Expositions du Bourget from 25 to 29 November 2026.
