Grand Pavois La Rochelle Unveils Exciting New Features for 2025
Grand Pavois La Rochelle 2025
As one of Europe’s premier in-water boat shows, the Grand Pavois La Rochelle continues to evolve with forward-thinking improvements that cater to a growing international audience. The 2025 edition, taking place from Tuesday 23 to Sunday 28 September, introduces several new features aimed at enriching both the exhibitor and visitor experience. Among the highlights are a newly designed multihull marina, a dedicated Spanish-language website, multilingual travel guides, and a fully interactive show map with geolocation.
With interest in multihulls continuing to grow, the 2025 Grand Pavois La Rochelle will debut a completely reconfigured multihull marina. Nearly 40 boats—ranging from coastal cruisers to long-distance sailing models—will be on display in a dedicated floating area designed to improve visibility and access.
The new layout includes pontoons 6 and 7, now featuring cross pontoons, enhanced reception tents, and improved pedestrian circulation. A new access footbridge will also lead visitors directly to pontoon 7, putting them right in the heart of the multihull experience. This reorganisation not only highlights the show’s commitment to showcasing the latest in multihull design, but also ensures smoother navigation for all attendees.
A Dedicated Spanish-Language Website
Recognising the growing number of visitors, exhibitors, and media from Spanish-speaking countries, the Grand Pavois has launched a Spanish-language version of its website. This new platform complements the existing French and English versions and provides easier access to key information about the show.
From planning visits and purchasing tickets to exploring the exhibitor list and accessing event schedules, the Spanish site ensures a more inclusive and seamless user experience for this important audience segment. It also demonstrates the show’s broader ambition to expand its international reach and foster deeper cross-border collaboration in the boating sector.
Destination Travel Guides in 10 Languages
In 2025, Grand Pavois La Rochelle will also introduce customised travel guides in 10 different languages, aimed at helping international visitors get to the show with ease. The “How to get to the Grand Pavois” guides are available for travellers from Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, England, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.
Each guide includes detailed, destination-specific travel information, including air, train, and car options, parking, and connections in La Rochelle. These resources are not only helpful for individuals planning their visit, but are also valuable tools for exhibitors and tourism professionals who wish to invite clients and partners from abroad.
A Smarter, Interactive Show Map
To enhance wayfinding and event navigation, the Grand Pavois team has upgraded its interactive show map, accessible via the website and directly from smartphones. This feature allows users to search for exhibitors, locate amenities such as food courts, conference zones, and sea trial areas, and even find transport hubs like the train station or designated visitor parking.
With real-time geolocation, visitors can easily orient themselves and plan their routes around the showgrounds. The interactive map helps streamline the on-site experience, reduce congestion, and ensure that no key attraction or exhibitor is missed.
Whether you're an industry professional, a multihull enthusiast, or a first-time attendee, the 2025 show promises a more connected, immersive, and enjoyable experience for all.
