The South of France will play host to the boat show of the season as it welcomes Les Nauticales 2013 this March.

(TRAVPR.COM) UK - March 14th, 2013 - This spring, the South of France will become the meeting place for the entire nautical industry, as well as boating enthusiasts, as Les Nauticales kicks off for six seafaring days in March.

For the eleventh year in a row, Les Nauticales will welcome more than 39,000 visitors and host over 200 exhibitors for a unique and exciting look at approximately 600 boats that will be on display on both land and water.  The extensive boat show will feature a plethora of motorboats, new sailboats, and fittings.

Spectators will also be treated to a complete entertainment programme featuring many new products, special exhibits featuring rare and classic boats, and films and animation throughout the themed areas along the docks.

Les Nauticales is not simply a boat show for boating enthusiasts.  It serves as a meeting place for all nautical professionals within the industry’s many sectors, ranging from nautical tourism and water sports to fishing and diving.  Amateurs and professionals will be able to mix and mingle during the show, unlike any other time of the year.

Situated along the docks of La Ciotat, a leading pleasure boating city in the Mediterranean, exhibitors will be able to put their craft on display within the walls of the infamous boatyards and naval repair docks.

Les Nauticales 2013 will run from Wednesday, 20 March through to Monday, 25 March 2013, from 10.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. each day at La Ciotat.  Visitors may attend for €7 per day, while groups of ten or more, and students with valid ID, may gain entrance for a reduced rate of €4 per day.  Children under the age of 12 are free.
