Weenav at the Nauti-Pro 2026 Show: Accelerating the energy transition of maritime and riverine boating
Weenav will be present at the first professional B2B nautical show in France. Discover why this Bordeaux event represents a major opportunity to accelerate the transition to sustainable electric navigation.
Bordeaux: The ideal Atlantic gateway to discuss nautical innovation
When Bordeaux is mentioned, one immediately thinks of its exceptional wine heritage and its UNESCO-listed architecture. But the Gironde metropolis also has a maritime dimension deeply rooted in its DNA. Located on the banks of the Garonne and open to the Atlantic, Bordeaux stretches over 100 kilometres along the estuary of the Gironde thanks to the Grand Port Maritime de Bordeaux (Bordeaux Atlantic Port).
This strategic position makes the city a natural crossroads for nautical and river activities. Just an hour from the ocean, the metropolis has modern port facilities with its floating basins and pontoons dedicated to leisure boating. For Weenav, this location represents much more than just a meeting place: it is a territory where our electric propulsion solutions make perfect sense, both for river navigation on the Garonne and for maritime activities on the Atlantic coast.
Nauti-Pro 2026: The first 100% B2B nautical show in France

Why is Weenav participating in Nauti-Pro?
At Weenav, we know that the energy transition in boating will not happen without meetings, exchanges, and solid partnerships. Nauti-Pro represents the ideal opportunity for us to:
Meet our current and future partners: Shipyards, rental companies, distributors, shipchandlers, manufacturers, marine electricians, mechanics… All the professionals who share our vision of cleaner boating will be gathered in one place for three days.
Present our innovative solutions: Our KRONOS and ARION electric and hybrid propulsion systems will continue to evolve, and Nauti-Pro is the perfect opportunity to discuss the specific needs of professionals and adapt our offerings accordingly.
Understand the market challenges: As a committed player in the decarbonisation of boating, we must remain attentive to regulatory constraints, technological innovations, and the expectations of the sector.
Create synergies : Electric propulsion does not work alone. It integrates into a complete ecosystem that includes onboard electronics, energy management systems, charging infrastructures, and many other equipment. Nauti-Pro will allow us to forge links with all the players in this ecosystem.
Weenav : Electric solutions for all professionals
Our ranges of electric motors
KRONOS : Powerful and versatile, the KRONOS adapts to all the most demanding nautical situations. With a power of up to 300+hp (220 kW), it meets the needs of professionals looking for performance and reliability.
ARION : Robust and discreet, the ARION available from 80+hp (59 kW) to 500+hp (368kW) installs easily in the hulls of boats. This inboard motor offers an ideal solution for conversions and custom integrations.
Our solutions also include a energy management system developed in partnership with Garmin (EMPIRBUS technology), offering an intuitive touchscreen interface to control the entire onboard system.
Bordeaux and Weenav : a shared vision of sustainable navigation
The choice of Bordeaux to host this new show is not insignificant. The Gironde metropolis perfectly embodies this desire to reconcile maritime tradition and sustainable innovation. Bordeaux has undeniable assets: optimal accessibility via its international airport and TGV connections, modern infrastructures like Hangar 14, and an attractive appeal facilitating the arrival of professionals from all over France.
For Weenav, Bordeaux represents a strategic territory. The proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and the river network of the Garonne provide perfect application grounds for our electrical solutions. Moreover, the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region is developing a proactive policy in favour of the energy transition, creating a favourable ecosystem for innovation in sustainable boating.
A strategic calendar positioning
This first edition comes at a pivotal moment for the sector. The environmental regulations are tightening, the demand for sustainable solutions is exploding, and the electric propulsion technologies are reaching sufficient maturity to meet the most demanding professional requirements.
