ABOUT US

THE HISTORY OF THE SHOW

A CENTURY OF PASSION FOR BOATING

Founded in 1926 at the Grand Palais, the Paris Nautic Show has shaped the history of boating and sailing in France. For nearly a century, it has witnessed the debut of iconic sailing vessels, welcomed visionary shipyards, and showcased equipment that has left a lasting mark on generations of sailors and sea enthusiasts

A KEY PLAYER IN THE INDUSTRY

More than just an event, the show has established itself as a crossroads for professionals and institutions—a place where the major directions of the nautical sector are shaped:

  • The democratisation of water sports,
  • Technological developments in materials and equipment,
  • The rising importance of environmental issues.

A NEW CHAPTER IN 2025

After a three-year hiatus, the show returns under the name Paris Nautic Show, now hosted at the Paris-Le Bourget exhibition Centre. This comeback reflects a clear commitment to:

  • Preserving a prestigious heritage,
  • Opening a new era focused on innovation and sustainability,
  • Bringing together the entire nautical community around a unifying event.
