80,000 visitors in 6 days

An autumn meeting which confirms its position as a key event for water sport enthusiasts and professionals,

2018 dates: from Wednesday 26 September to Monday 1 October.

The 2017 edition of the Grand Pavois La Rochelle, organised by the association Grand Pavois Organisation was a great hit as much for the many new products exhibited (editor's note: more than 100 new boats exhibited out of the 750 present) as for the number of highlights which marked this year's event and the overall atmosphere. This year's edition enjoyed favourable weather conditions for the first four days, although, unfortunately, Sunday was rainy and Monday was overcast. These last two days were not ideal in terms of weather and had an effect on the number of visitors to the show. Therefore, the 2017 event is expected to end on Monday evening with 80,000 visitors over the six days of the exhibition, namely the same number of visitors as in 2016. A large public and, above all, a good quality public in terms of visitor profiles. An important detail for the 800 brands present at the reference autumn show!

"The Grand Pavois La Rochelle confirms its position as the show for real fans"

"There were also many sea trials. "Our La Plage space was very popular during the week and event this weekend with many young people in the water, especially on Saturday. The Fishing Space and Grand Pavois Fishing (editor's note: fishing contest with no-kill bait) also continues their development. Competitors and pro-staffers at sea met during the three days all representing more than 30 different brands. In terms of representativeness and market offers, we can report that the Fishing Space was incredibly rich this year with boats offering an incredible diversity of equipment. Our Multihull Space continues its development with the setting up of double pontoons. Another important point is that I believe we are the show that presents the most aluminium units! An important detail that deserves to be underlined. We also had a magnificent exhibition of old rigs in-water and our Heritage and Tradition Space developed a very interesting and innovative theme with the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region. Finally, so-called event boats with incredible stories were present, such as the Masselis family, Sébastien Roubinet with his project to cross the North Pole, two boats that will be competing in the 2018 Golden Globe, Moana back from its tour of the Atlantic, and more."
