Privilège and the legendary Vendée Globe race team up for a limited series of catamarans conceived for the great adventure

This special edition embodies a sail around-the-world spirit that binds Privilège Marine and this legendary single-handed round-the-world race. Because both were created by the same sailor Philippe Jeantot, Privilège Marine and the Vendée Globe share common roots and values. A great deal of nautical innovation comes from ocean racing, and this universe has always been a source of inspiration for yachting. historically The collaboration between the two entities was a natural extension of this project.

This Privilège limited series of catamarans, available across the entire range of catamarans from 51 to 65 feet, features a robust, lightweight design thanks to the use of materials such as carbon. Inspired by the challenges of the Vendée Globe, these models feature even more advanced navigation technologies and autonomous energy systems for optimum safety and performance.

"It is with great pleasure that we announce today this Privilège Vendée Globe limited edition. On the eve of our 40th anniversary, it embodies all the expertise of our employees and our commitment to designing exceptional catamarans since 1985. This limited edition reflects our ability to innovate in order to meet our customers' expectations and reinforce our shipyard's position as a benchmark in the luxury catamaran sector for offshore cruising.”

We worked closely with Arnaud Boissières, Imoca skipper and long-standing partner of the shipyard, who will be setting sail on November 10 for his fifth Vendée Globe. As technical advisor on this project, Arnaud Boissières played an essential part. He contributed with his offshore racing expertise to enhance safety and performance on our multihulls.

“It's a real pleasure to collaborate with Privilège Marine. This limited edition combines my Vendée Globe experience with their expertise in creating catamarans optimized for ocean journeys. Safety is paramount when you want to sail the world's oceans. I also advise them on how to achieve sustainable energy management on board Privilège catamarans."

These limited-edition catamarans embody the unique spirit of the Vendée Globe, incorporating exclusive elements that celebrate this legendary round-the-world race. The carbon mast and boom, a specific choice of upholstery, the logo on the gennaker and hull reinforce this tribute. Inspired by the benchmark brands in the Imoca class, renowned for their excellence, performance and reliability, these catamarans are designed to withstand the most demanding conditions. They combine lightness and strength with cutting-edge materials, top-level weather equipment and a highly precise routing system. They also feature recyclable sails, natural wood finishes and an energy-efficient autopilot, for environmentally-friendly sailing that combines luxurious comfort with intense sensations at sea.
