International Multihull Show 2026

A Third Marina… and More Exhibition Space

THE must-attend event for multihull enthusiasts is, of course, the IMS, taking place this year from 22 to 26 April. So, what’s new this year under the sun in La Grande-Motte? 

First, there’s a new layout anchored near the harbourmaster’s office, and the opening of a third marina - right in front of the harbourmaster’s office on the town side. This brand-new visitor route is the result of the port’s modernisation works on the western side, which are starting now, but also of an already very strong demand from exhibitors. “At this stage,” the organisers explain, “20% of the exhibitors registered are newcomers, representing equipment manufacturers as well as new multihull builders, naval architects and service companies […]

While sales for the show are still ongoing, the 2026 edition already includes several World Premieres. On the sailing side, we’re expecting the Outremer 48. In the power multihull segment, the Aventura 37 Explorer, the Whisper 50, the Aventura 56 MY, and the AY 60 (Adventure Yachts) have been announced. The show will host, for the first time in Europe, the Aquila 50 Sail and the New Zealand-built hybrid catamaran Earthling E-40. The new Leopard 53PC will also be presented. For the first time, the IMS is expected to feature more new power launches than sailing ones, highlighting how the multihull market is evolving; the industry could produce as many multihulls as monohulls this year, with 25% being power multihulls.

The entire Multicoques Mag team will of course be there!
