International Federation of Boat Show Organisers

Paris Nautic Show marked a triumphant return to the French capital in 2025 after a three-year hiatus, welcoming nearly 40,000 visitors to Parc des Expositions du Bourget from November 26-30. The inaugural edition under new management demonstrated the French marine industry's strong commitment to a Parisian showcase, with comprehensive participation from boat builders, equipment manufacturers, distributors, and service providers. Exhibitors highlighted the highly qualified visitor profile—experienced boaters, boat owners, and serious buyers—with strong interest in boat purchases, sustainable innovations, and future navigation solutions. The show's immediate success is reflected in 100% exhibitor retention for 2026, enthusiastic interest from new exhibitors, and confirmation of business results from the very first edition. Supported by France's Minister of the Sea Catherine Chabaud and featuring ocean racing champion Yannick Bestaven as patron, the show successfully established itself as an essential annual gathering for France's dynamic marine community.
