Honda Marine will have a prominent presence, with a stand of almost 1,000 square meters where the company will present its significantly enhanced four-cylinder and V6 outboard engines. More than 25 models from partner brands will be on display, including 5 BWA boats showcased for the first time in France, and 4 models from Honda Marine’s 4XC Design range, including the new 4XC H23 Sport Fish.

“We are proud to showcase our outboard engines and 4XC boats alongside our boatbuilder partners at the Paris Nautic Show – says Guillaume Valladon, Marketing and Communication Manager at Honda Marine France – For us, participating in the first edition of the Paris Nautic Show at Le Bourget is the best way to support the growth of the boating sector and to affirm our commitments. The timing allows us to anticipate visitors’ orders for the next season, and we are eager to offer our expertise and new products to provide the best possible experience for all of our current and future customers”.

Enhanced ranges for a unique boating experience

As mentioned above, Honda Marine Europe is presenting the improved models of its high-power 4-cylinder and V6 outboard engines. These upgrades bring a new level of engine performance, durability, comfort, fuel economy, style, and energy efficiency, as well as greater ease of operation and maintenance.

Designed for large recreational, sport, or professional boats, the powerful and reliable Honda 4- and 6-cylinder engines are the brand’s mid-range and high-power models. The new and improved engines boast an elegant design, inspired by the award-winning flagship BF350 V8. The new V6 engines are available in Honda Marine’s iconic colours: Aquamarine Silver, Grand Prix White, and Sporty White. They offer exceptional craftsmanship and high-quality components, designed to withstand the most extreme conditions.

For even smoother and more intuitive operation, Honda Marine has equipped all its new 4-cylinder and V6 models with its drive-by-wire controls. The electronically controlled models now include automatic tilt and trim, as well as cruise control, just like on the flagship BF350 V8. Electric controls feature a clean design and an intuitive interface that ensures exceptional ease of use. They are available for single-engine mounting and can be adapted for up to four-engine configurations.

Honda Marine 4XC Design Vessels

Among the other new features is Honda Marine’s 4XC Design series, created from the perfect synergy between the reliability and performance of Honda engines and the boats built by partner shipyards, boasting proven expertise in terms of reliability and safety. They guarantee exceptional handling comfort and complete packages designed to meet all boaters’ needs. The introduction of these new models reaffirms Honda Marine’s commitment to providing high-quality, customized solutions for all boating enthusiasts. After unveiling the H28 Day Cruiser, the flagship of the 4XC rigid range, Honda Marine will present the following boats at the Paris Boat Show:

• HA20 RIB ( 5.9 m): offering an exceptional balance of comfort, space, and ergonomic design, the HA20 features a well-thought-out layout and intelligent use of deck space to ensure that every square meter is optimized for both performance and relaxation.
• HA27 RIB (8.45 m): as the flagship model in the 4XC RIB range, the HA27 has a capacity of 14 people and stands out for its exceptional versatility. Its clever design features modular spaces—generous sunbathing areas, a U-shaped aft bench seat, and a spacious bow.
• H22 Sundeck (6.5 m): As the mid-size model in 4XC’s Sundeck line, the H22 offers remarkable onboard comfort with a generous sunbathing area in the bow, a spacious helm console with a sliding door, and excellent protection while underway make it a versatile choice for relaxed cruising.

• H23 Sport Fish 4XC (6.6 m): this new boat can accommodate up to 8 people. It can be equipped with 1 or 2 engines, with power ranging from 115 to 250 hp. In addition to the high-quality equipment offered by Honda Marine, 2 stainless steel rod holders have been specially integrated into this model. Equipped with a high-mounted driver’s seat and integrated rod holders, allowing you to fish while piloting your boat, this sportier version is both manoeuvrable and comfortable. Two insulated and oxygenated fish boxes are integrated into this model. Its large 240-liter fuel tank also allows for long-distance cruising.

Across the entire range, the high-quality finishes can be complemented by a wide selection of additional options, giving even the most discerning customers the opportunity to create their own unique model. To guarantee optimal quality and save valuable time, each boat in the 4XC Design range is factory-assembled according to the customer’s specifications. It is then transported to the dealership for final engine installation and finally delivered ready to go.

New Sporty White Design for the BF350 V8 Engine

The last but not least new product that Honda Marine will bring to Paris is the BF350 V8 engine. Boasting exceptional technological features, the Honda Marine BF350 V8 engine is now available in a white and red Sporty White version, inspired by automotive design and the iconic colours of Honda Racing Corporation. Perfectly illustrating power and performance, these new colours enhance the engine’s design and sleek profile. The new BF350 V8 Sporty White reveals its racy and sporty character.

The BF350 is powered by a 5-liter V8 engine with a 60-degree V-angle and features Honda’s exclusive VTEC™ (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) technology. For enhanced comfort on the water, the BF350 boasts exceptionally low noise and vibration levels. So all that’s left is to head to the French boat show to see all these interesting new products up close.
