Privilège Catamarans were launched back in the eighties by Philippe Jeantot (twice world champion in single-handed sailing and founder of the Vendee Globe) and René Bernard through the Jeantot Marine Shipyard in Les Sables d’Olonne.

In 1996, the shipyard was sold to a new owner (La Groupe SGGR) and was renamed Alliaura Marine.

Privilege Marine Shipyard, controlled by Gilles Wagner became the new owners from 2012 until Hanse Yachts bought the Privilege brand, moulds and shipyard in 2017. In 2022, Hanse announced that they would be selling their shareholding.

Hanse have launched 3 designs: the Signature 510, the Signature 580 and the Signature 650. They continue to build the Series 740 (the flagship) from Privilege Marine days.

Marc Lombard got involved with the brand back in 1987 and has been heavily involved with the designs since that time.

Privilege are famous for producing high quality cruising catamarans: the focus is on quality rather than quantity. One of the key design features over the years has been the large owner’s suite located into the forward nacelle. As well as creating more living space, this structure provides buoyancy in heavy seas and stiffness to the whole structure. These strong cats ae known for their stability and seaworthiness.

The build quality and finishing of a Privilege is a step above the competition, and this is reflected in their strong resale values.

Privilège Marine: A new manager and an owner who's coming out of the woodwork

The PPF Group, the new owner of catamaran builder Privilège Marine, formalizes its acquisition and announces the arrival of a new operational manager, in charge of launching an innovation program, while reinforcing the shipyard's luxury positioning.

A new manager for a new shareholder

Vendée-based luxury catamaran specialist Privilège Marine is officially acquired by Czech investor PPF. The group, which operates in 25 countries and in various media, communications and e-commerce sectors, is making its 4th acquisition in the yachting sector in 3 years, following on from Dream Yacht Charter , Navigare Yachting in the charter sector alongside the Bénéteau group, and the South African shipyard Robertson and Caine. The transaction, which began discreetly at the end of 2023, is now official, and marks the second change in just a few months, following the Hanse Group's sale of Privilège Marine to its then CEO, Gilles Wagner.

On taking the helm, the PPF group also overhauled the organization chart, appointing Gildas Le Masson Managing Director of the shipyard , who has just left Nautitech after 6 years at the helm of the Charente-based catamaran specialist . He takes over the management of a company with an order book in excess of ?50 million and over 200 employees.

Innovative propulsion

Privilège Marine's new course and potential synergies with charter companies and the South African shipyard Robertson & Caine will not be detailed until April, but PPF has already announced its intention to remain in the premium blue water catamaran sector, in "Privilège's DNA". Innovation to find alternatives to fossil fuel propulsion is announced as key for the coming months.

Boat Bottom Painting & Repair

The bottom of your boat requires constant maintenance. When underwater, barnacles, slime, and other marine organisms love catching ride and attaching themselves to your boat’s hull. If not cleaned and coated with the proper antifouling paint, these can accumulate and slow you down, burning extra fuel, and wear and tear on machinery.
