The State of Bahia and Salvador: a booming destination for water sports!
The dynamic of continuous economic growth in Bahia's water sports market - driven by the local taste for the sea - combined with the competitive advantages of the climatic and geographic environment, as well as the two large fully navigable bays - Todos os Santos Bay and Camamu Bay - offer unique conditions in Brazil and a promising future for the development of projects and the arrival of new companies in this sector.
If the State of Bahia, and Salvador in particular, are already major destinations for water sports and recreational activities (arrival of many races such as the Transat Jacques Vabre and the Mini Transat, and rallies, etc.), these activities are expected to become even more important with the development of boat construction, the trade in equipment and parts for water sports, and above all the practice of new sports activities.
It really is a favourable economic environment in the process of being set up with a high reduction in import tax on sailboats adopted by the federal government, the construction of five marinas by the State government, not to mention several projects by the municipality of Salvador, which, in addition to providing financial resources to the first boat show in Bahia, is implementing many other projects in various secretariats such as:
- Project for hosting international regattas.
- SAC Náutico project, which simplifies bureaucratic procedures for boats and sailors, mainly from overseas, in all public institutions.
- Project for a University Of The Sea.
- Project to train and improve the qualifications of the workforce employed in the water sports sector.
- Condomínio et Distrito Náutico de Salvador project.
- Marina Municipal project, and many more.
The first edition of the Salão Nautico de Salvador will also be the showcase for this dynamic and this new development policy based on the water sports sector in the state of Bahia and the city of Salvador. Salvador and the state of Bahia deserve to become a reference destination for water sports in Brazil!
Beneteau boats and Excess catamarans at the Salão Nautico de Salvador
The associates of Aloha Náutica, Paulo and Cecilia Avena and Francisco Fragoso and Luciana Vianna, exclusive distributors in Brazil for Beneteau yachts and Excess catamarans (also part of the Beneteau Group) are delighted with the 1st edition of the Salvador Náutico Boat Show with the Grand Pavois.
The presence of the Beneteau Group's boats is confirmed, with the brand's most recent models arriving in Brazil again this year and also in 2023.
Paulo Avena attended the pre-events, at the invitation of Francisco Brandão and the other organisers, and all the members of Aloha Náutica are pleased to see such an important water sports event being held in Baía de Todos os Santos, which without a doubt deserves to host "a boat show of this scale".
The Grand Pavois La Rochelle, patron of the first edition of the Salão Nautico de Salvador
The international in-water boat show created in 1973, the Grand Pavois La Rochelle (France) will celebrate its 51st edition in September 2023. With 80,000 visitors and 750 boats, 300 of which are in-water, this show has become a key date in the programme of international in-water boat shows. It should be noted that Brazil has twice been the Guest of Honour at the Grand Pavois La Rochelle and Grand Pavois Organisation has organised the finish of the Charente-Maritime/Bahia Transat 6.50 (Mimi Transat) six times with the State of Bahia and the city of Salvador, as well as the Défi Atlantique Salvador de Bahia / La Rochelle once, a qualifying race for the Vendée Globe (solo round-the-world race).
