Nice Boating Tomorrow is set to be the first international nautical event dedicated exclusively to sustainable boating.
The event aims to lay the foundations for a new nautical ecosystem that is sustainable, innovative, accessible, and forward-looking.
The four-day event will take place in March 2026 in Nice, France, on Quai Amiral Infernet, next to the new OcéaNice convention center.
The show will be divided into two main events – an exhibition area on land and afloat with stands in tents and in an exhibition hall. There will also be boats afloat with the possibility of sea trials.
International forum
The second part of the show will be a two-day international forum in the new OcéaNice convention center with conferences, workshops, and round tables with international speakers.
Organisers, the Grand Pavois Organisation, say the 8,000sqm of exhibition space on land and afloat will be a place for meeting and exchange with shipyards, equipment manufacturers, start-ups, naval architects, marina managers, maritime transport and tourism companies, local authorities and service companies.
“Nice Boating Tomorrow aims to be a platform for exchange and trade between players in the recreational boating industry,” said a spokesperson.
Responsible boating activities
“Those involved in the development of eco-friendly technologies, boaters, new and future enthusiasts, and the public, who need to be increasingly aware of the importance of the oceans and the steps they can take to enjoy more responsible boating activities.”
The spokesperson added: “Nice Boating Tomorrow therefore aims to go beyond simply exhibiting boats and equipment, positioning itself as a laboratory for ideas, innovations, and trends.
“Internationally renowned and always looking towards the French Riviera, Nice is the perfect location for this event.”
Nice Boating Tomorrow will take place from March 19 to 22 2026, with the international forum taking place on Thursday and Friday March 19 and 20.
