22nd Les Nauticales boat show

The Aix-Marseille-Provence boat show Les Nauticales, organised by the newspaper La Provence, is the 1st in-water show of the year and the 4th French boat show. The afloat show will host 100 exhibitors on 25,000m2 of exhibition space and 200 boats on land and afloat (sailboats and powerboats). An area dedicated to catamarans and electric models will be set aside for this 22nd edition. The event, which is sponsored by the French Nautical Industries Federation, marks the start of the Mediterranean season and, for many, the return to water sports activities.

The patron of the 22nd edition is Henri Cosquer, famous for the discovery of the cave that bears his name. He will be giving a talk and signing his comic book.

The aim of the Nauticales is to promote the industry, its products and its new products, to encourage people to get out on the water and to confirm Aix-Marseille-Provence's position as Europe's leading yachting centre. A host of brands will be taking advantage of this not-to-be-missed event in the French calendar to give enthusiasts an exclusive look at their new products for 2025, as well as offering the general public the chance to discover and take part in the many activities on offer.

On the programme this year are a host of activities for young and old alike, including first dives, flyboarding, electric surfboarding, water karting, interactive activities and virtual reality helmets on the underwater world, photo exhibitions on the beauty of Mediterranean landscapes, and screenings related to the sea. There will also be a large number of conferences on a variety of themes, including careers in the sea and environmental issues in the Mediterranean.

The whole range of nautical activities will be on offer in La Ciotat.
