One of the major assets of the Grand Pavois is the possibility to go at sea and test the boats. The trials are made during the day (upon appointment only) and are specially organized for the customers. Journalists are also welcome onboard.
Boatyards also propose private trials in the late afternoon.

Appointments can be made on the stands or on the boats in question.
The Grand Pavois is also the key event – for professionals and enthusiasts – for cabin multihulls, with more than 40 boats attending every year.
