Fishing Area Expanding at the Grand Pavois La Rochelle

The fishing area at the Grand Pavois La Rochelle continues to grow, attracting an increasing number of boat, RIB, equipment, electronics, and material brands. This year, many brands plan to be present on land, making the Grand Pavois La Rochelle’s fishing area the go-to place for enthusiasts looking to build a fishing boat project, whether rigid or RIB. The selection is so vast that it’s nearly impossible not to find a boat that meets your needs: 100% fishing-focused RIBs with all available engines, electronics, and equipment; rigid-hull boats designed for offshore fishing, whether bottom fishing or tuna hunting; boats that combine fishing, family outings, and water sports. There’s something for every taste and budget, making the Grand Pavois La Rochelle with its on-land fishing area the essential place to meet all market players.

On-Land Advantages of the Fishing Area:

  • The opportunity to discover kayaks and boats specifically developed and equipped for amateurs and beginners, along with stands from electronics, equipment, and material brands for all types of fishing.
  • An animation area with a stage and demonstration pool to share fishing techniques, equipment demonstrations, and new products, as well as meet leading figures in the fishing world and associations committed to preserving resources and encouraging responsible practices.
  • The presence of federations and the French fishing guides union to better understand regulations, receive training, and raise awareness about resource and environmental protection.

Afloat Advantages of the Marina Grand Pavois Fishing:

  • The opportunity for visitors to test boats, engines, and equipment at sea. Brands can leverage the presence of their pro-staff to allow Grand Pavois La Rochelle visitors to test fully equipped units. This is a highlight for enthusiasts, allowing them to discover new models (boats, engines, equipment…) with the best in the field. Boats participating in the Grand Pavois Fishing will be available for sea trials every day of the show, except Friday and Sunday mornings (reserved for competition). Appointments can be made with the brands.
  • The chance to attend onboard electronics training and discover new equipment at sea, with the presence of major brands and their pro-staff. Appointments can be made with the brands for sea trips or onboard electronics training.
