The International Multihull Show will return to La Grande-Motte, France, from April 22–26, 2026, with an expanded on-water footprint and a renewed focus on innovation.
At a press conference held during boot Düsseldorf 2026, show organisers confirmed that the 2026 edition will introduce a third marina and a redesigned visitor route, with an entrance in the centre of the marina to improve flow for attendees.
“The 2026 edition marks a new stage in the show’s evolution, with a renewed team, a redesigned visitor route and a growing presence of power and electric multihulls making their world debut,” said Anaïs David, show director, International Multihull Show.
The modernisation works at the Port of La Grande-Motte, beginning this month on the western side of the marina, prompted the organisers to rethink the show’s layout.

The show entrance will now be located on the town side, near the harbourmaster’s office.
The mobile footbridge, previously linking the show to the town, will now become an integral part of the event and visitors will have easier access between the village and the different marinas: the historic marina, the Quai des Douanes marina (formerly the powercat marina), and the new marina in front of the harbourmaster’s office.
The redesigned and expanded exhibitors’ village will offer a showcase of the latest innovations in the sector and will host the Multihull Design & Innovation area, dedicated to nautical design trends and to the technological and sustainable solutions shaping tomorrow’s multihulls.
More power than sail world premiers
So far, 20% of registered exhibitors are international newcomers, (non-French), representing equipment manufacturers, new multihull shipyards, architects, and service companies.
The 2026 edition is set to feature several world premiers, including: Whisper 50, an electric catamaran with solar propulsion; Simbad 55 (sailing); Aventura 37 Explorer (power); Outremer 48 (sailing); Aventura 56 MY (power); and AY60 – Adventure Yachts (power).
For the first time, there will be more power multihull world premieres than sailing multihulls at the show.
