OUR FLEET IN ALSACE:                                      Back to Top

Estivale Series includes:  Estivale Duo and Quattro

Estivale Series - This is a new range of boats offering a perfect compromise between the existing Sedan and Grand Confort series. The large aft terrace is on the same deck level as the lounge area (which is part of the success of the Sedan series). In addition to the stern gates, two extra side gates facilitate access to the terrace from either side of the boat, facilities which will be most appreciated when mooring. The galley area conserves a high standard of equipment for  a 2/4 - berth boat, whilst the forward cabin and shower room are spacious and comfortable. Outdoor life has not been left aside, a stairway molded into the hull enables access to the flying bridge, and the bridge controls fold away for maximum comfort. The forward bow terrace, greatly appreciate on the Grand confort range, has again been retained for outdoor snacks or lunches. Finally the height of refinement, the aft terrace has a sun awning, a saloon table with chairs, a shower and bathing ladder for these tempted by a swim! Without doubt the Duo will charm you for your next cruise along the waterways.

Sedan Series includes: N 800 - N 1000 - N 1010 - N 1170 - N 1310 - POOL

Sedan Series - An exclusive series with accommodations for from 2 to 12 people... A concept unequalled in the field of pleasure boating: The success lies in the superb saloon with its panoramic views, a vast sliding door to the rear of the saloon leading to an enjoyable sedan terrace with its overhead sun canopy under which you can enjoy your mid-day meals. The double steering position finishes the Captain's isolation at the helm. The crew is all together in this most agreeable concept.

Grand Confort Series includes: N 900 - N 1100 - N1350 - N 1350 VIP                          Back to Top

Grand Confort Series - The latest concept from our boatyard with accommodations for 2 to 10 people. The Grand Confort provides comfortable and spacious cabins with  headroom below deck around 6 feet 6 inches. Each cabin has its own bathroom/WC. Easy and safe access to the fore terrace (the gangway is molded into the hull deck).  Aft steps lead to the roof solarium... privacy is respected offering maximum comfort for a crew of 2, 3, or 4 members depending upon the type of boat chosen.

Riviera-Marina Series includes: R 920 - R 1130 

Riviera - Marina Series - An earlier design from our boatyard, these boats are  renowned  for their maneuverability. Ideal for a first cruise... they provide comfortable cabins, a saloon  with overhead sliding roof so that you may lunch under the sun...  and ideal compromise of comfort on board at attractive prices.
