The invention relates to a process for manufacturing a rigid aquatic floating object (10) comprising an elongate three-dimensional external profile having in total a main length extending from its nose to its tail, a thickness, a width, a deck and an underside, said process being characterized in that it comprises at least the following steps: - a) digitally modelling the floating object to be manufactured, via a three-dimensional wire mesh of its external profile, - b) producing a hollow and apertured internal skeleton by additive manufacturing/3D printing of a multitude of plastic wires that are locally connected to one another geometrically and that reproduce the three-dimensional mesh obtained in step a), - c) placing the result under vacuum and bonding at least one composite sheet made of fibre and resin around the skeleton so as to form an external shell of the floating object, - d) applying successive fibre-and-resin layers so as to reinforce, via stratification, the shell obtained in step c), and - e) finishing the external surface of the stratified sheets made of fibre-and-resin composite by sanding to obtain the final shape of the floating object.
