The Fédération des Industries Nautiques has confirmed its new boat show – the Paris Nautic Show – will take place from 26 – 30 November 2025.
In an update, the FIN has said that it remains committed to a Paris boat show.
The association says that more than ever, in the current complex economic and political landscape, the sector needs a showcase to demonstrate its resilience and innovation.
The Paris Nautic Show, organised by FIN events subsidiary M2O, will be held at the Parc des Expositions du Bourget with a shorter duration compared to previous editions of the Paris Boat Show. The dates have been chosen after discussions with the marine industry and to fit in with the international boat show calendar.
Ths show will take place across two halls of 40,000sqm with around 350 exhibitors with between 300 and 400 boats on display.
A team led by president Jean-Paul Chapeleau has been assembled to meet the various requirements and ambitions of Paris Nautic Show.
The Paris Nautic Show will be built with and for the industry.

Working with Jean-Paul are MD Christophe Vieux, deputy general commissioner and director of operations Caroline Popovici, and deputy general commissioner and sales director Guillaume Verbrugghe.
“We have always supported the need for a major annual event in the Paris region,” said Jean-Paul.
“The Parc des Expositions du Bourget offers a fitting setting: an international, flexible venue designed to host these large, temporary marketplaces.
“The Paris Nautic Show will be built with and for the industry, to enable it to grow, innovate and shine.”
The FIN reports that after an exceptional 2022-2023 year, sales of new boats are in decline with a particularly marked decline in motorboats under 9m, which represent almost half of the number of units.
However, the organisation points out that there has been stability in second-hand sales for the past 20 years and an increase in the number of permits issued.
The FIN had previously announced a new show – the Nautic en Seine – would take place in April 2025 but was forced to cancel it due to market conditions.
