Key points:

• A 4-day boat show, from Thursday, March 19 to Sunday, March 22, 2026, held on Quai Amiral Infernet and inside the Conference Center at the Port of Nice.
• An event designed to address the challenges of environmental transition and showcase solutions to reduce the boating industry's environmental impact.
• Boats and products exhibitions, an international Forum, meetings, panel discussions, sea trials, demonstrations, and awareness-raising initiatives for both professionals and the general public.

Following the momentum of the United Nations Ocean Conference and recent events held at Nice's new Conference Center, the Métropole Nice Côte d'Azur, the Nice Côte d'Azur Tourist Office, and Grand Pavois Organisation are proud to announce the inaugural edition of Nice Boating Tomorrow, a boat show dedicated to the future of boating, taking place on Quai Infernet at the Port of Nice from Thursday, March 19 to Sunday, March 22, 2026.

It is worth remembering that, like many other industries, the environmental transition is now a top priority in the boating sector. In France and globally, the nautical industry is committing to reducing its ecological footprint. This transition spans the entire life cycle of pleasure boats—from design, construction, and end-of-life dismantling to their use and maintenance. Ports, as critical links in this chain, must also adapt to meet this transition.

With 150,000 direct and indirect jobs, over 5,000 companies, a global leadership position with over 70% of production exported, and several world-leading brands, the French boating industry is undeniably a key contributor to our country's blue economy. More over, boating plays a vital role in the economies of France's coastal regions—particularly in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region—and must lead the way in driving environmental progress.
