"The sea is always there in the background: we can see it through the windows of our offices and workshops;
it is against its yardstick that our work is measured, our intelligence, our organization, the experience we have gained as we have grown, year in,
year out.

It is a story about the sea, and as well all know the sea doesn't make allowances. It is a story about the sea because it is a story about boats, usually yachts, about beautiful sail or motor boats. Each boat has taught us something in our quest for quality, each boat has taught us something in the way we manage quantity.

But it is also a story about people "with their feet on the ground", who in just two decades have successfully transformed a small artisan concern into a business of European if not global stature. And as always, our success would not have been possible without the customers who have put their confidence in us, and of our collaborators and suppliers, who with commitment, skill and constancy have put us in a position to tell you this story.
