In the 16 years since its first edition, which was held in Brittany, the International Multihull Show has established itself as the essential meeting place for all those who love sailing on two or three hulls. The event is now firmly anchored at La Grande-Motte in the South of France and remains the only nautical gathering of new boats exclusively reserved for multihulls. The show continues to grow steadily, with each year seeing a 10 to 20% increase in attendance. As for the multihull lineup, it remains perfectly stable when it comes to sailboats (54 models, compared to 53 in 2025) but power multihulls will gain a bit of ground in their dedicated marina with 17 units - up from 15 last year. For this 2026 edition, we can expect no fewer than 20 new models - 9 World Premieres, 1 European Premiere, 1 French Premiere, and 9 IMS Premieres - presented in this article. While the major innovation of the 2025 edition was the creation of a dedicated space for multipowers, this 2026 edition will see a big change in that access will now be exclusively via the town center, while also incorporating the area adjacent to the Harbor Master’s Office. In short, as you can see, if there’s one boat show you simply shouldn’t miss, it’s this one!
