The Multihull – Pre-Owned & Refit Show in Canet-en-Roussillon 2025 once again confirms the vitality of the Mediterranean yachting industry.This edition, placed under the banner of transition and innovation, highlights a fast-evolving market where refit and high-quality maintenance play a central role.
A MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT – LAGOON ACQUIRES BMS
The announcement of the acquisition of the BMS shipyard by Lagoon (Beneteau Group) marked this year’s event.This strategic move further strengthens Canet-en-Roussillon’s position as a key industrial hub for multihulls in the Mediterranean.
This integration confirms:
✅ A strategic position within the Port of Canet-en-Roussillon
✅ Stronger support for the local industry
✅ Greater international visibility for French expertise in catamarans and trimarans
For refit professionals, this evolution is highly promising — confirming the importance of a complete ecosystem able to provide construction, maintenance, and renovation all in one location.
THE “PRE-OWNED & REFIT” SHOW – A SHOWCASE OF FRENCH KNOW-HOW
The Multihull – Pre-Owned & Refit Show has become one of the few French events dedicated both to the second-hand and refit markets.Nearly 40 multihulls were presented this year at the Port of Canet, in an atmosphere that was both friendly and highly technical.
This edition particularly highlighted:
🔹 Premium maintenance and refit services
🔹 Sustainable innovations (hybrid systems, optimized electrical layouts, new finishing solutions)
🔹 The synergy between local players – shipyards, equipment suppliers, electricians, painters, and marine craftsmen
Canet-en-Roussillon is thus asserting itself as a true center of excellence for multihulls, capable of competing with Europe’s major refit hubs.
2025 YACHTING MARKET TRENDS
The marine industry is undergoing a profound transformation.Here are the key trends observed this year:
🔹 New builds slow down, pre-owned remains strongAccording to the Fédération des Industries Nautiques (FIN), new boat sales are down nearly 15% in 2025, while the pre-owned market remains dynamic.Owners are increasingly investing in refit, modernization, and value-added resale — making refit a real alternative to new builds.
🔹 Sustainability and energy transition“Green” innovations are multiplying: hybrid propulsion, lighter structures, energy optimization, and sustainable materials.This trend directly impacts the refit sector, where eco-upgrading has become a key selling point.
