A Dual Marina for a New Era

A major new feature this year: the show is expanding and investing in a second marina. The Quai des Douanes is being transformed into “Marina Powercat,” dedicated exclusively to power catamarans. Nearly a kilometer of pontoons will host around twenty units, from thermal to electric, some available for testing. This is a first in the history of the show, and a direct response to the growing appetite for alternative propulsion systems.

Without neglecting sailing – more than 60 units are expected – this extension marks an opening towards new audiences and affirms the show’s leading role in the energy transition.

International Influence on the Rise

Since its establishment in La Grande-Motte in 2013, the event has continued to grow. In 2024, attendance jumped by 19%. This year, organizers expect to break all records with more than 80 multihulls on display afloat – a historic maximum – and 11 world premieres already confirmed. This is further proof that the show has established itself as a global showcase, capable of attracting international shipyards and buyers from all over the world.

Innovation and Design in the Spotlight

Beyond the presentation of new products, the 2025 edition will highlight the avant-garde of yachting. The Design and Innovation space has been completely redesigned: electric propulsion, sustainable materials, connected objects, light boats or nautical “toys”… everything converges towards cleaner, more intuitive, more inventive navigation.

Professionals, designers and visitors will find a concentration of creativity, reflecting a sector in full mutation.
