A Legend Born in Les Sables d'Olonne
THE ORIGINS: FROM THE RACE TO THE DREAM The story of Privilège Marine is inextricably linked to the legend of the Vendée Globe. Born in the historic port of Les Sables d’Olonne, our shipyard emerged from the demands of the open ocean.
Forty years ago, the vision was clear: to translate the robustness and safety required for round-the-world racing into a vessel designed for life, freedom, and family. Since our inception, Privilège Marine has stood at the intersection of precision engineering and artistic craftsmanship, creating boats that are not merely products, but stories that live on for years.
AN ANCHOR IN TIME In a world that rushes, Privilège Marine has always embraced the luxury of time. For four decades, we have remained faithful to our roots in Les Sables d’Olonne, the only place where our knowledge stands and where our history is written.
Here, expertise is passed down from one generation to the next. We do not just build boats; we cultivate a “slow luxury” where quality is never a race against time. This patience allows us to create hulls designed to withstand the years as well as the oceans, offering an elegance that stands the test of time.
MAISON PRIVILÈGE: A LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE Over the decades, Privilège Marine has evolved into more than a shipyard; it is a Maison of French naval haute couture. Our philosophy has remained unchanged: strict refusal of mass production in favor of excellence.
Our Dream Shapers—the sailors and craftsmen who build your yacht—have perpetuated a unique savoir-faire that combines the reliability of offshore sailing with the refinement of a bespoke home. Today, each Privilège catamaran remains a signature, a unique piece designed to reflect the personality of its owner, respecting a tradition where precision requires patience and the result lasts a lifetime.
Privilège Marine.
Float beyond time.
