A show 100% dedicated to econavigation
A new event has been added to the nautical calendar: Nice Boating Tomorrow, organized by Grand Pavois Organisation. The show will take place from March 19 to 22, 2026, in the heart of the Mediterranean. It will bring together yachting professionals, local authorities and companies around a single theme: the sector's environmental transition.
The show will be the first to focus exclusively on the challenges of sustainable boating, with a clear ambition: to become the international benchmark for those involved in eco-navigation.
An international forum to structure ideas and practices
Alongside the afloat and land-based exhibitions, an International Forum will be held on March 19 and 20 at the new OcéaNice convention center, which will be inaugurated in 2025 to coincide with the United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC).
The program includes themed conferences, workshops, round tables and keynote speakers on concrete topics such as :
- Low-carbon engines, retrofits, new energies
- Current environmental regulations and standards
- Yachting, ecological impacts and emerging uses
- Ports and infrastructures for decarbonization
- Manufacturers' new industrial strategies
- Digitization, onboard AI and new navigation practices
Targeted networking and public-private partnerships
The show format also features B2B meetings, with one-to-one networking sessions between companies, local authorities, investors and players in the maritime transition. The aim is to facilitate concrete cooperation and projects in the field.
A strategic location, an experienced operator
With its location between the sea and the mountains, Nice aims to become a crossroads for the low-carbon Mediterranean boating industry. The OcéaNice center, with its 1,300 m² terrace overlooking the sea and its accessible quays for afloat exhibitions, offers a setting suited to the industry's contemporary challenges.
The event is organized by Grand Pavois Organisation, the organizer of the Grand Pavois de La Rochelle and other international boat shows, with over 50 years' experience. This new event is the latest addition to an already dense but rarely-specialized range of events focusing on the ecological mutations of the nautical industry.
