Multihulls, refits, hybrid motorization: Emeraude Sea Tec's complete offer

New, used, berths and technical know-how. Emeraude Sea Tec is multiplying the strings to its nautical bow. Based between La Rochelle and Barcelona, the company is focusing on a global offer for cruising multihulls.

Located on both French maritime fronts, Emeraude Sea Tec specializes in pleasure multihulls, with both commercial and technical expertise. The company stands out for its integrated approach to the sector, from the sale of catamarans and trimarans to their complete renovation, including the installation of hybrid engines and the provision of berths in the Mediterranean.

A two-hulled history

Emeraude Multihulls was founded in 1999 in Port Camargue and La Grande-Motte. Business began with the sale and rental of Nautitech catamarans, followed by Neel trimarans. In less than ten years, the company also became the leading reseller of the brand, with over 30 units sold. Today, this expertise in cruising multihulls is organized under the Emeraude Sea Tec entity, present in La Grande-Motte, Port-Leucate, Canet-en-Roussillon, Port Gisnesta (near Barcelona, Spain) and La Rochelle.

Emeraude Sea Tec's strength lies in its four-pronged strategy:

  • Emeraude Multihulls manages the marketing of new boats. It distributes the Neel (cruising trimarans), C-Catamarans (catamarans from Italian shipyard Comar) and Privilège (top-of-the-range catamarans) brands.
  • Emeraude Brokerage takes care of pre-owned boat transactions, assisting both buyers and sellers while offering customized refit solutions.
  • Azure Boat Services based in Canet-en-Roussillon, has a technical workshop capable of carrying out complete renovations, with particular expertise in on-board energy management. Our work covers electrical systems, air conditioning and on-board electronics.
  • HybSeaGo structure dedicated to the integration of hybrid propulsion solutions, particularly suitable as an alternative to diesel engines for new or existing multihulls.

A sought-after rarity: Mediterranean berths

For multihull buyers, finding a berth in the Mediterranean is always an uphill battle. This is where one of Emeraude Sea Tec's levers of attraction comes into play: the company has a network enabling it to offer berths for multihulls at rates below market prices. The aim is not to generate income, but to effectively support the sale.
