A UNIQUE STATUS IN THE WORLD OF WATER SPORT EVENTS!

It was in 1973 that four pioneers from La Rochelle’s shipyards had the idea to create an independent professional association to promote the interests of the water sports sector. This led to the creation of the Grand Pavois Organisation association, the mission of which was to create an in-water boat show where it would be possible to meet the heads of shipyards and, above all, make appointments to test boats at sea before buying. Today, the Grand Pavois Organisation is still governed by a Board of Directors made up of water sport professionals.
