Catamaran Boat Shows and Multihull Events
Some of the highlights of the year include these yachting festivals!
Here are some of the yachting events planned for this year where you can take a look at some of the sailing catamarans featured on Katamarans.com.
International Multihull Boat Show
03-07 April 2024
Go to our International Multihull Show page here. This is evolving into the main catamaran boat show of the year, certainly in Europe.
We are proud to be an Official partner for the 2022, 2023 and 2024 International Multihull Show in La Grande Motte!
This show is unique in that it is dedicated to multihulls with more than 60 boats exhibiting. Head to La Grande-Motte on the Southern Coast of France, which doubles up as a great week-end away on the beach.
This show is now run by the Fédération des Industries Nautiques (FIN) after their acquisition of M20, the previous organisers, in September 2023. They also run the Nautic en Seine Paris Boat show and Metstrade in Amsterdam.

The big one in Europe where you can visit the boats on the water: Cannes is Europe’s largest in-water boat show. These days there is a whole separate sailing section at Port Canto.

Salon Nautico, Barcelona
October 2024
The cruising catamarans are well represented here, especially Bali, Lagoon, Excess, Leopard Catamarans and Fountaine Pajot. Sunreef are often there too (well, it’s pretty close for Rafa Nadal).
Annapolis Sail Boat Show
10-14 October 2024
The big one, certainly Stateside. There is so much going on at the Annapolis show. The boats, of course, but also sailing courses, presentations and more in Chesapeake Bay. This is a place to see the South African designs like Kinetic, Vision, Maverick and Balance Catamarans. Also Antares and Max Cruise.
In fact, this show probably has the widest selection of multihulls of all of the shows globally.
