Honda Marine showcases Honda-powered boats in La Rochelle

Honda Marine Europe and its boatbuilder partners are demonstrating the benefits of their high-performance boat-engine packages with a strong presence at this year’s Grand Pavois La Rochelle. 

An extensive range of Honda-powered boats will be on display, offering the smooth power, efficient operation, low fuel consumption and affordability that today’s boat buyers and customers are demanding. 

Visitors to the 2026 edition of the event, running from 22nd to 27th September, will find Honda Marine on a dedicated nearly 400 sqm display at Stand H57, and in the Grand Pavois Fishing space, as well as in the ‘Osez Le Bateau’ area, an initiative to make boating more accessible by spotlighting new boats priced under €35,000. 

In total, HONDA MARINE is showcasing 20 boats through 12 partners: HIGHFIELD, GRAND BOATS FRANCE, SEAWEED, BOMBARD, ZEPPELIN, B2 MARINE, NORTHSTAR, FANALE MARINE, PRUA AL VENTO, RANIERI, RIGIFLEX AND ATLANTICRAFT. 

Supported by its official brand ambassador angler Jordan Tellier, Honda Marine will highlight its close connection with the fishing community. In addition to presenting four boats in the water in the Grand Pavois Fishing area, the company is backing three teams competing for the Grand Pavois Fishing Cup taking place on Friday 25th and Sunday 27th September. 

Guillaume Valladon, Marketing and Communications Specialist, Honda Marine France, said: “Customer satisfaction is an integral part of our DNA and will be at the heart of our presence in La Rochelle this year. Our boatbuilder partners trust in Honda to equip their range, delivering turnkey, whole-boat solutions with pre-paired engine and boat configurations to offer the key benefits for our customers: power, performance and fuel efficiency. Expanding this range also enables us to broaden our offering and ensure we can meet the needs of all recreational boaters. 

“La Rochelle is one of the most important dates on our calendar because it brings together exactly the customers we build for – experienced boaters, professionals, fishermen and new enthusiasts who want comfortable, high-quality, sturdy, high-performance boats equipped with essentials.”
