The International Multihull Show 2026 returns to La Grande-Motte, France, April 22–26 with its largest and most ambitious edition yet, underscoring the continued surge in multihull demand worldwide.

Organizers are introducing a reworked show layout, including a new central marina entrance and the addition of a third basin, both aimed at improving flow as both attendance and exhibitor counts climb. A fleet of fully electric shuttles will move visitors between key points, reinforcing the event’s forward-looking tone.

On the water, expect roughly 80 multihulls—setting a new high-water mark—and a more global exhibitor base, with nearly a third arriving from outside France. The docks will be particularly strong in powercats and alternative propulsion, with a growing mix of electric and hybrid-ready platforms.

La Grande-Motte remains a key stage for debuts, with multiple world premieres scheduled across both sailing and power segments, further cementing the show’s role as a bellwether for where multihull design is headed next.
