Oceanis 42, AMEL 50.2 and Cap Camarat: boat premieres

As a major marketplace for the boating industry, Paris Nautic Show brings together boatbuilders, engine manufacturers, equipment suppliers and marine professionals, offering a wide range of options to suit different interests and budgets. From small boats to large cruising yachts, from rigid inflatable boat (RIBs) to motorboats, and from monohulls to catamarans, visitors will be able to explore models suited to their individual boating plans.

Among the brands exhibiting are Beneteau, Jeanneau, Amel, X-Yachts and JPK for sailing boats; Lagoon, Excess and Dragonfly for multihulls; and Prestige, Wellcraft, Quarken, De Antonio Yachts, Saxdor, White Shark and the Brunswick Group brands for motorboats, among many others. RIB enthusiasts will also find Zodiac, Lomac, Capelli, Highfield, Joker Boat, Brig, Grand and 3D Marine. This selection reflects the diversity of boatbuilders represented at the show.

Models confirmed by their builders for the show include Beneteau’s Oceanis 42 and the AMEL 50.2, an evolution of the AMEL 50 bluewater cruising yacht. New additions to Jeanneau’s Cap Camarat range are also announced, with further exhibitor news expected as the show approaches.

Stepping aboard, exploring onboard layouts, talking directly to boatbuilders, comparing models or visiting exceptional yachts: there will be plenty of opportunities to plan a purchase, consider chartering or simply indulge in a little dreaming.

Marine equipment and engines will also feature prominently, with companies such as Harken, Seldén Mast, North Sails and Navico Group representing equipment suppliers, alongside engine brands including Yamaha, Mercury Marine, Suzuki, Honda Marine and Selva, among many others exhibiting at the show. From deck hardware and electronics to sails, onboard comfort and technical solutions, visitors will discover the latest developments shaping boating today and paving the way for tomorrow.

Boating differently: new ways to enjoy greater freedom

Owning a boat is no longer the only way to enjoy being on the water. Subscription services, boat sharing, chartering and cabin cruises now offer alternative ways to go boating, depending on individual preferences, budgets and lifestyles.

With Liberty Pass, for example, boaters can access a boat through a monthly subscription. Companies such as Dream Yacht, Sunsail/The Moorings, GlobeSailor and Catlante offer other ways to enjoy time at sea, from traditional yacht charter to cabin cruises, allowing travellers to explore a destination without necessarily having to skipper the boat themselves.

Boating can also be enjoyed on inland waterways. With Le Boat and Les Canalous, visitors can discover holidays along canals and rivers, exploring regions across France and Europe. A different style of travel, offering the freedom to explore at one's own pace, with family or friends.

The show will also highlight boat refitting, with solutions designed to extend the lifespan of existing vessels and offer new possibilities for their use. Together, these developments reflect a boating industry in transformation, where habits are evolving and new solutions are emerging to meet the expectations of today's boaters.

Hands-on experiences and opportunities to meet champions

Beyond the boats on display, Paris Nautic Show will invite visitors to discover and try a range of watersports.

A 30-metre pool will host free introductory sessions every day, including scuba diving, stand-up paddleboarding, windsurfing and wingfoiling. Professional demonstrations, particularly in power foiling, will also showcase new disciplines and the equipment transforming watersports.

Two outstanding personalities will serve as ambassadors for this year's show: Antoine Albeau, multiple windsurfing world champion, and Alexia Barrier, an offshore sailor involved in major ocean racing challenges, including the Jules Verne Trophy with an all-female crew and the 2026 Route du Rhum. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet them and hear about their experiences and passion for sailing.

From great maritime adventures to future getaways

Paris Nautic Show will also be a meeting place dedicated to offshore racing, major maritime gatherings and the coastal regions that keep boating traditions alive.

On Wednesday 25 November, Finistère will take centre stage, with a day celebrating the many facets of its maritime heritage and boating activities. From offshore racing with the Arkéa Ultim Challenge to training and education with the Institut Nautique de Bretagne and the École de voile des Glénans, visitors will discover the richness of a region deeply connected to the sea. A traditional Breton bagad (pipe and drum band) will add a festive musical atmosphere to the day.

The show will also offer a preview of two major maritime events taking place in 2027: the Armada of Rouen, from 17 to 27 June, and the Brest Maritime Festival, from 9 to 14 July. Both events offer the chance to admire magnificent tall ships, discover maritime traditions and experience large-scale celebrations bringing people together around the sea.

Following the 2026 Route du Rhum, offshore racing will also feature in the show's programme of talks and encounters, celebrating the human and sporting adventures that continue to inspire sailing enthusiasts.

A special tribute will be paid to Charlie Dalin through a screening of his film L'Albatros hurleur.

100 years of boating in Paris: a century of innovation and changing practices

1926–2026: 100 years of boating in Paris! This anniversary will provide an opportunity to look back at the major developments that have transformed recreational boating and watersports over the past century.

Through a retrospective presented each day, visitors will be able to explore a century of innovation, from the evolution of boats, engines and equipment to changing ways of navigating and enjoying the water. A look back at the past to better understand boating today and imagine what tomorrow may bring.

This spirit of innovation will also be celebrated through Cap Innovation – "Innovating on the Water", Paris Nautic Show's national innovation competition, which is open this year to both exhibitors and non-exhibitors. Three categories will recognise projects helping to shape the industry's future: Innovative Product, Innovative Service and Eco-Responsible Innovation.

The winners will be announced on Thursday 26 November at 2.30 pm on the show's main stage.
