Pierrick Garenne, Grand Pavois Fishing manager
" The Espace Pêche and the Grand Pavois Fishing are a real success again this year, 2023. Already, the number of registered teams proves it, and what's gratifying for the event is that the brands have understood the benefits of participating in Grand Pavois Fishing and presenting one or more boats afloat, which also enable them to carry out sea trials, test new products on the water, present equipment and materials in situ, and offer on-board electronics training. The Holy Grail is also for visitors and enthusiasts to get out on the water and interact with ambassadors and pro-staffs to benefit from live advice and techniques. We all dream of spending moments like this on the water with them, not forgetting, of course, the chance to discover exclusive new products. We'd also like to mention the loyalty of our partners, such as April Marine, Suzuki Marine and 4Water, and the arrival of new ones, like the Syndicat des Moniteurs Guides de Pêche Français, to promote sport fishing and its values."
A new partnership with the Syndicat des Moniteurs Guides de Pêche Français (French Fishing Guides Association)
As part of the Fishing & Grand Pavois Fishing 2023 Area, the Syndicat des Moniteurs Guides de Pêche Français (French Fishing Guide Instructors' Association) is committed to offering the international afloat boat show a number of services, including daily morning and afternoon presentations by fishing guide instructors for 6 days, presenting fishing techniques, equipment used, equipment fitting and maintenance, fishing guide training courses...
A schedule will be drawn up in advance of the event, and the common idea and desire is to optimize advice, exchanges and interactions with the guides on site, including Christophe Lhamas, a well-known and recognized fishing guide in the Pertuis rochelais area.
4Water, a new safety partner
4Water, the well-known safety partner of the sport fishing world, will once again be a partner of Grand Pavois Fishing! An exemplary loyalty for the brand distributed by VDM - Reya which, as many know, is the distributor of the leading brands of equipment and mechanics for pleasure and professional boats. Every competitor must wear the official lifejacket provided by 4Water and the organization. An obligation, since safety comes first...
