About Paris Nautic Show
The Paris Nautic Show is a consumer boat show held at the Parc des Expositions du Bourget, north of Paris, under the umbrella of the Fédération des Industries Nautiques (FIN), the French marine industry federation, with M2 Organisation running the event. The first edition took place in 2025, bringing a boat show back to the Paris calendar.
The venue was chosen for its modern, accessible halls and their suitability for large boats, which allows builders to display sizeable sailing and motor yachts as well as smaller craft. The line-up covers boatbuilders, equipment suppliers, distributors, nautical tourism operators and innovators from across the French marine sector.
The audience is primarily the boating public: owners, prospective buyers and enthusiasts, with professionals also present. Sales are a central part of the show, and the organiser reported that business was clearly done on stands at the first edition.
The show also connects with France's strong ocean racing culture. At the first edition, major races such as the Route du Rhum, the Transat Café L'Or and the Solitaire du Figaro were represented, and live on-stage sessions with racing sailors drew crowds. For brands targeting the French leisure boating market, the show offers a concentrated chance to meet buyers and support dealers at the point in the year when many are making decisions for the season ahead.

Paris Nautic Show 2026: what to expect
The second Paris Nautic Show runs from 25 to 29 November 2026 at the Parc des Expositions du Bourget. According to the FIN, the first edition in 2025 welcomed 40,000 visitors across 40,000 square metres of exhibition space, with 250 brands taking part, and all 2025 exhibitors committed to return for 2026.
The organiser positions the 2026 show around innovation, the sustainability transition and international visibility for the French marine industry.
Exhibitors bringing large boats should agree delivery, craning and positioning schedules early, as boats are usually placed before stand construction starts. The show spans a weekend, when consumer footfall peaks, so plan staffing for the busiest days.
