Program
Organized by the Association of Marine Industry Professionals, the City of Agde, the Hérault Departmental Council, and the Occitanie Pyrénées-Méditerranée Region, alongside private partners who provide steadfast support for this flagship autumn event.
Held under the banner of the "France Station Nautique****" (France Nautical Resort) label held by Cap d’Agde, the event brings together key players in the marine industry and numerous private sellers offering nearly 500 boats—both new and used—for sale, not to mention a wide array of marine equipment.
Covering all sectors of the maritime world, the Autumn Boat Show has firmly established itself as one of the country's top four nautical events, alongside those in Paris, Cannes, and La Rochelle.
This year, the Show will highlight the marine industry and its various professions through meet-and-greets, talks, and round-table discussions. It will also be an opportunity to share experiences, featuring a presentation by Yannick Bestaven—an extraordinary sailor and winner of the Vendée Globe.
