A long-awaited return in a redesigned format
After an absence of several years, the boating industry is back in Paris with a completely redesigned show. The Paris Nautic Show will take place at the Parc des Expositions du Bourget, an accessible venue better suited to the expectations of professionals and visitors alike. Spread over two modern halls, the show will cover a total surface area of some 40,000 m². The event is part of a drive to modernize, with an emphasis on legibility, visitor flow and showcasing the boats on display.
The organization's aim is clear: to offer a professional yet accessible show, attractive to the general public as well as to industry players. The aim is also to respond to contemporary challenges, whether linked to the energy transition, changing practices or the growing importance of on-board innovation.
A dense and varied edition for all boating enthusiasts
Over 350 exhibitors are expected this year. The big names in yachting will be present, including leading French and European shipyards, technical equipment suppliers, engine manufacturers, on-board digital specialists and service companies. Some 300 to 400 boats will be on display, ranging from houseboats to compact motorboats and RIBs.
The show will feature a wide variety of sectors, from river tourism to gliding, cruising, sea fishing, construction, electronics and cartography. Visitors will be able to meet the brands, talk to technical experts, discover new products for the 2026 season, and get advice on equipping or renovating their craft.
Conferences, exchanges and a constructive atmosphere
One of the highlights of this year's event will be a program of themed conferences. These highlights will cover a wide range of subjects, including the energy transition for engines, the challenges facing the French marine industry, and innovations in on-board accessibility and connectivity.
Trade visitors can take advantage of these exchanges to make contacts, anticipate market trends and identify new usage and sales practices. On Friday evening, the show will close its doors later, until 10 p.m., allowing for a more relaxed visit or extended exchanges after the working day.
A symbolic milestone for the entire industry
The Paris Nautic Show 2025 does not claim to be an identical replacement for past editions. On the contrary, it inaugurates a new cycle. More agile, more focused, more anchored in today's realities. It also marks the desire to reaffirm the place of boating in the Paris Region, and to provide professionals with a place of strategic visibility at the end of the year.
It's a positive sign for an industry in the throes of change, seeking to combine energy efficiency, technological innovation and the pleasure of sailing. The return of this Parisian event sets a clear course for all those who believe that the sea, rivers and boats still have much to say.
