In 2004, Yacht Concept developed quite a new “profession” in the marine industries: that of project manager, combining project management and engineering.
Managing projects from start to finish, from drawing up the specifications all the way to the yacht’s final delivery, and asserting the creed “a solution for each project”- Yacht Concept rapidly proved how well-founded this concept was.
Today, Yacht Concept brings its expertise, experience and thoroughness in all projects of:
- new construction
- customization of production yachts
- refit
whether for a sailing yacht, a motoryacht, a superyacht or a professional vessel, monohull or multihull..
A network of professionals, partners and subcontractors chosen for their thoroughness and the quality of their work, locally in La Rochelle as well as internationally.
Yacht Concept’s professionalism, together with their concern for quality, cost control and meeting deadlines, have won the trade’s confidence and a deserved popularity among their clients, private or professional owners, as well as renowned shipyards.
Finally, Yacht Concept is engaged in a process of constant improvement of the quality of their services, based on the demanding NF Services Nautisme standards.
