On 5 July 2025, the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli in San Marino (Italy) will host a new edition of Honda Day, an unmissable event for fans of the brand. While motorcycles remain at the heart of the festivities, Honda Marine will be joining in this year with a programme dedicated to boating enthusiasts and anyone curious to discover the latest innovations in the marine range.

Visitors will have the opportunity to take part in sea trials at the Portoverde Marina Resort, located in the immediate vicinity of Misano Adriatico. Two models will be available for these supervised sea trials: the Altamarea 35 equipped with two BF350 engines, and the Ranieri International 275 powered by a single BF350 engine. These trials, available by reservation only, will allow participants to test the power and functionality of Honda engines in real-world conditions.

At the heart of the circuit, in the paddock, Honda Marine will also have a stand where visitors can take a closer look at several engine models and watch technical demonstrations. Among the equipment on display will be the T20 SE3 Honwave (inflatable boat) and the BF 2.3, BF 40E, BF 150D and BF 250D outboard engines. Specialists from Honda Marine and official distributor FONTI SNC will be on hand to answer technical questions on fuel consumption, on-board technologies and maintenance advice.

Registration for sea trials will take place directly on site at the Honda Marine stand in the paddock. Once the booking has been confirmed, participants will be directed to the dedicated quay in the port's test area. These test rides will give participants the opportunity to experience the performance of the BF350, a V8 engine that stands out for its combination of power, fuel efficiency and reliability. Designed to suit a wide range of boats, from pontoons to offshore vessels, the BF350 is a versatile solution for demanding boaters.

In addition to the marine area, Honda Day offers a wide range of activities for all audiences. The circuit track will be reserved for the brand's motorcycles for the occasion, with test rides open to owners of eligible models. Renowned guests, such as riders Johann Zarco and Somkiat Chantra, as well as Lucio Cecchinello (team manager), will be on hand to meet the public. The atmosphere will be provided by a DJ set by Mario Fargetta and various activities throughout the site.

Visitors will also be able to try out the motorcycle demonstration and test areas, attend off-road introductions, and discover the riding school for young people. Fans of beautiful machinery will not want to miss the Classic Honda Section and the third Honda Italia Classic Rally.

With this expanded presence, Honda is showcasing all of its divisions, bringing together motorcycles, vehicles, motorised products and marine solutions under one event. Honda Day is intended to be a time for meeting and sharing around the diverse worlds that make up the brand's identity.

Finally, Honda Marine and FONTI SNC advisors will be on hand throughout the day to guide visitors, whether they are looking for product information or advice tailored to their boating projects. This is an opportunity to discover Honda's marine offering in a friendly and dynamic setting and enjoy both a land and sea experience at this major summer event.
