EXPO RENDEZ-VOILE 2026

The Quebec sailing community has long awaited an event that truly reflects its spirit: human-centric, unifying, inspiring, and entirely dedicated to maritime culture. It is in this spirit that Rendez-Voile 2026 comes to life, spearheaded by Voile Communautaire and Bianka Beaudry-Julien, a committed leader who chose to create what is destined to become an unmissable annual gathering.

Supporting her is a talented team shaping the identity of Rendez-Voile: Thibaud Lescuyer - Électricité Marine on web development; Anny Riverin, Christine Joanis, and Max Ménard providing administrative support and digital development; and a network of ambassadors from the nautical world, including Tristan Boudreau, Sébastien Villeneuve, and Éric Tremblay.

Designed on a human scale and open to all types of sailing, this boat show is a premier meeting point where sailors, the curious, families, artisans, businesses, and institutions come together to share their passion and expertise. The event boasts a warm, friendly, and accessible atmosphere—true to the very spirit of sailing.

Come visit and shop with our 40 exhibitors, including Cabano Marine, Boathouse, Gestion Mercator, Liberty Boat, and numerous sailing organizations and schools.

A rich and inspiring program developed in collaboration with CONAM and Simon Labbé, essential partners providing their professional expertise to the show's content.
