🚤 Fanale Marine at the Grand Pavois in La Rochelle 2026: See you at booth H61!
From September 22 to 27, 2026, Fanale Marine looks forward to seeing you at the Grand Pavois in La Rochelle! 🌊
For this year's edition of La Rochelle's major boating event, Fanale Marine will be there alongside Victor Nautisme and Pornic Nauticas part of the Honda Marine Alliance, at booth H61.
A great opportunity to come discover the world of Corsican shipbuilding, talk with our teams, and climb aboard two iconic models from the lineup: the Filanciu 650 and theAlpana 820. Two RIBs, two sizes, two sailing experiences… but one philosophy: to offer carefully crafted, customizable boats designed to provide pleasure, comfort, and safety at sea. ⚓
🌊 Fanale Marine is coming to La Rochelle
The Grand Pavois La Rochelle is one of the major international boat shows. For its 54th edition, the show will take place over six days at the Port des Minimes, from Tuesday, September 22, to Sunday, September 27, 2026. The 2026 edition will feature Japan as the guest of honor and will feature numerous areas dedicated to various water sports.
For Fanale Marine, this presence represents a new opportunity to raise broader awareness of a brand founded in Corsica, whose boats are designed and built in Pietrosella. The shipyard currently offers a range of RIBs, from the Acula Marina 570 to the Maio 1400, with a particular focus on customizing the vessels.
And this year, visitors will be able to check out two models that are particularly representative of this philosophy. 👇
🐟 Filanciu 650: The Versatile RIB
With its 6.50 meters in length, the Filanciu 650 takes center stage in the Fanale Marine lineup.
Designed as a versatile RIB, it combines a compact size with exceptionally spacious accommodations. Its 2.85-meter width contribute to good stability and comfortable movement on board. The boat can accommodate up to 10 people and comes standard with Hypalon floats.
The Filanciu 650 is particularly well-suited for recreational boaters looking for a boat that can easily adapt to a variety of activities: family outings, coastal cruises, days at anchor, water sports, or more dynamic sailing. Its design also allows for a high degree of customization, particularly in terms of the colors of the floats and the upholstery.
In terms of engine options, the model showcased with Honda Marine can be paired with, among others, the Honda BF150, a combination that allows the Filanciu 650 to fully express its seafaring character.
👉 Are you looking for a boat under 7 meters but don’t want to sacrifice space and comfort? The Filanciu 650 is definitely worth a visit at the Grand Pavois!
🦅 Alpana 820: Fanale's new large model
Alongside it, the new Alpana 820 will offer visitors a chance to discover another facet of Fanale Marine’s expertise.
With its 8.20 meters, the Alpana 820 sets a new standard for volume and space on board. It can accommodate up to 16 people and is equipped with an engine producing up to 350 chevaux. It also comes standard with Hypalon floats.
Its spacious deck and customization options make it a particularly attractive boat for recreational boaters who want to enjoy long days at sea with family or friends. Its design also caters to professional users, particularly in the charter industry.
The Alpana 820 also embodies the brand’s DNA: handcrafted in Corsica, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to configure the boat to suit your preferences, particularly through various customization options for the floats, gelcoat, and upholstery.
There will be two boats on display in our exhibit area: 6.50 meters for the Filanciu, 8.20 meters for the Alpana. These two sizes demonstrate Fanale Marine’s commitment to offering vessels suited to a variety of boating projects.
🤝 Fanale Marine, Victor Nautisme, Pornic Nautic, and Honda Marine
This appearance at the Grand Pavois is also an opportunity to highlight the momentum generated around Fanale Marine, Victor Nautisme, and Pornic Nautic, within the Honda Marine alliance.
The booth H61 will serve as a true gathering place for anyone interested in discovering Fanale boats, their configuration options, and Honda Marine engine solutions.
