Marseille’s Sailing Show: A Deep Dive into the 2025 Edition
The Salon Nautique de Marseille, since its inception in 2023, has solidified its position as France’s premier 100% sailing event. The core principle remains unchanged: to gather the latest sailboats on the market in one location, provide privileged access to equipment manufacturers, and foster direct exchanges with those driving the nautical industry forward.
What to Expect in 2025
The 2025 edition will showcase over 30 new monohulls and catamarans afloat, from leading shipyards such as Dufour, Bavaria Yachts, Hanse Yachts, RM Yachts, Rosewest, BENETEAU, Jeanneau, Nautitech, Fountaine Pajot, Bali Catamarans, and Lagoon. This presents a unique opportunity to discover, compare, and explore the latest innovations directly on the water.
A Focus on Interaction and Practical Learning
The spirit of the show centers on engagement and education. The organizing association, born from the initiative of two major players in Mediterranean yachting, boasts over 30 years of experience in the sale, rental, and maintenance of sailboats and catamarans. This expertise is reflected in the programming, designed to be both accessible and content-rich.
Workshops, experience sharing sessions, sea trials, and meetings with experts will punctuate the five days of the show, offering a comprehensive learning journey for those considering buying, equipping, or simply better understanding their boat.
Experience-Driven Programming
Three days of workshops will structure the 2025 edition:
- Thursday, December 4 – Building Your Purchase Project: Insurance & Financing
With LIZMER and ANP Assurances, gain concrete insights into key steps, financing solutions, and points to verify before embarking on your purchase. - Friday, December 5 – Mastering Your Equipment for Safe Navigation
Led by Uship, Raymarine, and Nauti Services, this workshop delves into essential equipment and best practices on board. - Saturday, December 6 – Travel Story: Family Atlantic Crossing
Immerse yourself in the daily life of a crossing aboard a 40 Open Nautitech, recounted by those who have actually experienced it. Sea trials (at an additional cost) will complement the visit with an authentic sailing experience off the coast of Marseille.
Accessibility for All
The Salon Nautique de Marseille PASS is available for €5 per person, including access to the show, sailboat tours, and participation in all workshops. The event will take place from Wednesday, December 3 to Sunday, December 7, from 10 am to 6 pm.
The Show’s Ambition
With its iconic location, 100% sailing focus, and the presence of leading French and international shipyards, the Salon Nautique de Marseille continues its ambition: to bring together the sailing community, transmit knowledge, share experiences, and offer a true glimpse into the navigation of today and tomorrow.
