A SUCCESS STORY – Allures Yachting




We were looking for an ocean-going yacht which would answer a sailor's legitimate requirements within the limits of a reasonable budget, that is:

- safe in the toughest conditions,
- high-performance, and enjoyable at the wheel,
- adaptable to all moorings,
- comfortable and user-friendly,
- elegant (interior as well as exterior)

Within our budget we soon realized there was hardly any choice available. Day after day we met sailors who'd come to the same conclusions: our requirements and our dreams were the same but there were no yacht yet to fulfil them. So we founded Allures Yachting.

For months prior to reaching the conception of our boats we had hours of fascinating discussions with a wide range of sailors - some anonymous, others famous - and integrated the experience acquired through thousands of miles over the seas of the world.

Close analysis of all these experiences gave us our key principles:
- aluminum for safety,
- a centerboarder for increased freedom,
- GRP superstructure for performance, comfort and elegance.
 
Along these lines we have been developing a range of sailing yachts designed to fulfil all your requirements  

Our range include the Allures 40,45,51 and now the new Allures 39.9.
 

The yard experienced an outstanding growth with a turnover almost doubled each and every year during the first six years.

With the takeover of Outremer (simple, fast, sea-worthy blue-water catamarans) in 2007 and Garcia (custom aluminium yachts ranging from 50 to 115') in 2010, our group has reached a leading position in the long distance cruising sailboat industry.
