Redefining B2B Boat Leasing

Blue Charter is a groundbreaking collaboration between two key players in the yachting industry, a leading French shipyard, renowned for its expertise in building monohulls, multihulls, and powerboats, and an experienced finance and location solutions manager, with a proven track record in leasing and financial structuring.

This strategic partnership aims to revolutionize the boat rental market by offering complete, tailor-made leasing and service solutions to professional shipyard customers worldwide.

Market Opportunity

The leisure boat rental market is experiencing rapid growth, driven by increased demand for water-based vacations and personalized maritime experiences. However, boat rental companies face several major challenges. High acquisition costs for new boats, regular fleet renewal, and the management of maritime equipment create obstacles to maintaining competitiveness while providing quality experiences to their customers.

Current market trends reveal that individuals and families increasingly seek flexible, modern, and accessible rental options, allowing for short-term boat rentals with or without a skipper. Despite the growing demand, many boat rental operators cannot afford to renew their fleets due to the high costs associated with purchasing new boats. Moreover, managing aging fleets results in significant maintenance and repair expenses.

Competitive Solution

Blue Charter provides an innovative response to the challenges faced by yacht charter operators. By offering long-term charter solutions, Blue Charter helps operators overcome the financial and logistical obstacles associated with acquiring new boats. Thanks to a strategic partnership with the Fountaine Pajot group, one of the world's leading manufacturers of catamarans and monohulls via its subsidiary Dufour, Blue Charter provides access to a modern, high-performance fleet that is perfectly tailored to customers' needs.

Blue Charter's market competitiveness comes from:

  1. Access to High-Quality Fleets Without Initial Purchase Costs

  2. Increased Flexibility and Competitiveness

  3. Optimized Profitability

  4. Independent and Flexible Solutions

  5. A Team of Experts Supporting Operators
