La Rochelle Boat Show 2023

A sold-out event!

Since 1973, the La Rochelle Boat Show, known simply as “Le Grand Pavois” in French, has been THE not-to-be-missed afloat show on France’s Atlantic coast. 

With 750 boats on display and a record 80,000 visitors, the 2023 event (that ran from September 20 to 25, so a little earlier than usual) clearly benefited from the scheduled absence of the Paris Boat Show at the end of the year. According to the organizers, no more than 10 square feet was left available at the Port des Minimes!

Of course, the Multihulls World team was there. We were able to preview the Tender Cat, a small all-purpose catamaran dinghy built in epoxy-ply, the Greencat 52, a custom-built eco-responsible catamaran, the impressive NEEL 52, the Astrea 42 Smart Electric, and finally Lagoon’s new Furling Boom.
