Paris Nautic Show 2026, the news from the shipyards and the program of the Paris event

From November 25 to 29 in Paris-Le Bourget, five days dedicated to the latest in international boating. 300 exhibitors and around 200 boats are expected, with Beneteau and Jeanneau among the highlights of the event.

The Paris Nautic Show returns from November 25 to 29 in Paris-Le Bourget with the latest from the leading French and international shipyards. Among the key players in the event are Beneteau and Jeanneau, who will present four models aimed at different market segments, from cruising sailboats to motor catamarans, to yachts designed for long-duration navigation.

The Paris event, organized by M2 Organisation and promoted by the Federation of French Nautical Industries (FIN), aims to bring together around 300 exhibitors, 200 boats, and 70,000 visitors in the exhibition spaces of Paris-Le Bourget. The two publications The Yachting Voice and Superyachtoday will be media partners of the event. Central themes for the 2026 edition include water sports, technological innovation, and environmental sustainability. Goals that, according to Jean-Paul Chapeleau, president of FIN, accompany the desire to create an event built “with and for the sector, and to promote its growth, innovation, and visibility.”

The innovations from Jeanneau and Beneteau

The Beneteau Group, one of the main players in the international boating industry, will participate in the Paris Nautic Show with four sailing and motor boats from the Beneteau and Jeanneau brands. The French group, which also includes brands like Lagoon and Excess, has over 6,200 employees, 15 production facilities, and seven brands, with a catalog of over 135 models. Production ranges from monohulls to catamarans, from sailing boats to motor vessels.

Jeanneau will present the TH38, a motor catamaran measuring 11.82 meters, designed by Marc Lombard and Camillo Garroni and capable of accommodating up to 15 people. The model has won theYacht Style Award 2026 in the category of motor catamarans under 12 meters. Two configurations of the windshield are available: one full-height, designed to offer greater protection, and a lower, more aerodynamic one that promotes air circulation and direct contact with the marine environment.

Also in the Jeanneau exhibition space, the Sun Odyssey 455, a sailing yacht measuring 14.28 meters, designed by Marc Lombard with interiors by Jean-Marc Piaton, will be presented. The model offers four configurations of living spaces and is a candidate for the European Yacht of the Year 2027. It has also received a nomination for the British Yachting Awards 2026 and recognition at the Yacht Awards of the same year. Great anticipation surrounds the world premiere of the new Oceanis 42 announced by Beneteau, a new chapter in the strategic segment of 40-foot yachts.

Beneteau will showcase the Oceanis 34.1, a cruising sailboat measuring 10.77 meters, available in two or three cabin configurations. The model is the result of collaboration between Marc Lombard and Nauta Design and belongs to the seventh generation of the Oceanis range, one of the most representative of the French shipyard.

Completing the selection is the Swift Trawler 43 Fly, a motor yacht measuring 13.13 meters, designed for long-duration cruises. Key features include a spacious flybridge, a panoramic salon, and tanks with a total capacity of 1,170 liters of fuel. The vessel can be equipped with gyroscopic stabilization systems and solar panels, solutions designed to enhance comfort and autonomy during navigation.

Paris Nautic Show, other shipyards and international exhibitors

Alongside the main French brands, the Paris Nautic Show will host an international representation of shipyards and manufacturers of nautical accessories. Among the exhibitors are Quicksilver and Bayliner, brands of the American group Brunswick, along with Zodiac Nautic, specialized in inflatable boats. Italy will also be represented by Joker Boat, a manufacturer of inflatable boats, while from Northern Europe will come the Finnish brand Saxdor and Quarken Boats. 3D Tender will also be present.

Regarding marine propulsion, Mercury Marine is announced, with its range of traditional outboard motors and the electric line Avator, and Honda Marine. The instrumentation and accessories sector will include brands such as Garmin, Raymarine, Furuno, Simrad, B&G, and Torqeedo, with products dedicated to navigation, onboard electronics, and new solutions for propulsion.

The program: innovation, sustainability, and ocean sailing

The Paris Nautic Show will take place over an exhibition area of at least 40,000 square meters, spread over two pavilions, with the boats presented entirely out of the water.
The event will feature a calendar of conferences, professional meetings, presentations, and demonstrations dedicated to new technologies and ocean sailing. Among the main events, a day dedicated to Finistère, a region of Brittany that represents one of the main French reference points for offshore sailing. Meetings on the decarbonization of marine propulsion, eco-design, and boat recycling are also planned.
