The founder Charles GARDETTE

Charles was born on March 30, 1989 in Lyon France.

He has been passionate from a very young age by the majestic lines of the classic Italian runabouts of the 50s and 60s such as the “Rio”, “Mahagoni”, “Piantoni”, “Pedrazzini”, “San Marco” or the mythical “Riva”. “.

”As a child, I spent every summer with my family in France on the Cap Ferret peninsula. A French charming place where the most beautiful landscapes mingle with the power of nature’s elements.

A watery spot on the west coast where the tides create virtuous currents that give life to islets of white sand caressed by waves as far as the eye can see, like a dream at the end of the world where the only means of access is by boat.

My fondest childhood memories are of sailing to these islands in the summer, surrounded by my family, my friends, my loves, all embarking on a new adventure, laughing, shouting and singing with their hair blowing in the wind, the sun warm on their skin, imbued with that wonderful feeling of gratitude, joy and freedom, a moment when time seems to stand still and I’m finally able to describe true happiness, to say to myself, this is life, the real thing.

We work tirelessly throughout the year, and in the end our only pleasures are the simple ones.
It’s with this vision, this pleasure, that I’ve created a boat that can accompany our customers in the best moments of their lives, so that they too can feel the joy, the freedom with their loved ones, in the best conditions, sailing to the rhythm of their wonderful adventures.
It’s not just a boat, it’s a unique experience, a faithful and reliable companion that opens up a world of possibilities, in a French savoir faire.”
