This momentum was supported by a record number of multihulls on display - 82 units - including around ten world premieres that you were able to discover through our on-site reports.

The organizers highlight the international character of the show: exhibitors and professionals based in the Far East, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Tunisia, the United States, and of course Europe made the trip in large numbers. Visitors were equally diverse, with 27 different nationalities represented.

There was only one drawback: attendance was down by 5% despite the clear appeal of the offering and fairly mild weather. The increase in the entrance fee from € 10 to € 15 and the tense international context likely played a role. Still, this 2026 edition is undoubtedly one of the best we have seen in terms of the diversity and quality of the multihulls presented.
