Gala is a Canadian brand of aluminum-shell RIBs, launched in 2015. This year, compared to 2016, the shipyard is making a strong comeback at the Paris Boat Show (2-10 December 2017) with a stand 3 times bigger and many new products.

Which boats are exhibited on the Gala stand?

This year, Gala will present many new products. It is no longer just a brand of aluminum-bottom tenders, but a real boat brand. We are in the middle of building a network. We will present a world novelty, the flagship of the range at the end of 2017, the Gala Viking 650, a semi-rigid for pleasure boating.

We will also have the Gala Viking 580 F a semi-rigid boat specialized for fishing and presented as a world premiere in La Rochelle. We will also have the A360 Luxe, an aluminium hull boat with console and bench seat, as well as two motorboats of 3.80 m and 4.50 m, and also some tenders (210, 270, etc.)

On the stand, there will be more models than in 2016 since we will have two new models - the 580F and the 650 - but also the canoes that were not presented last year. Our boats are convertible into a pleasure or fishing version. That's why we are presenting the 650 in the pleasure version and the 580 in the fishing version.

What are the facilities and activities planned to welcome visitors?

We will be present in Hall 2.2, on location B5. This year, instead of having a 30 m2 stand, we will have 90 m2. On the Gala stand, as on the Brig stand ( both brands are imported in France by Brig-Med ), there will be a TV screen with film broadcasts. The Aix rosé bar will also be present on the Gala stand.

We will be 2 permanent resellers and 5 resellers who will take turns on the whole duration of the show.

Is it possible to visit the boats freely or do I have to book in advance?

Yes, it is possible to visit the boats freely and go on board. We work in the same way with both brands .

Why should I come to your booth?

Gala offers a single range of boats, but with the big advantage of being convertible into fishing or pleasure versions. We enter the fishing market with specific boats (livewell, cutting board for baits, water pump, specific supports in the structure of the boat...).

The luxury version has all the advantages and attractions of the aluminum boat in terms of lightness and robustness, which bends and does not break unlike polyester. This is a real advantage and is what attracts customers. And today, the offer of aluminum boats on the market is rather limited.

Today, Gala is a true range of boats, with an impeccable finish, as our customers have told us. The handling at sea is irreproachable and almost unequalled with Gala taps, directly integrated into the structure of the boat and which allow to get out of the water as soon as you start. Finally, all our boats are offered with a central console and a central bolster seat for easy circulation on board!

We are waiting for you!
