HELLOMULTI

What HELLOMULTI does

Hellomulti (legal name Société Hellomulti) is a privately held French SAS founded in December 2017 by Charlotte Binard-Matthijsse and Julien Binard, both former Beneteau executives, and headquartered at Port de l'Herbaudière in Noirmoutier-en-l'Île. The company is the exclusive importer of Dragonfly folding trimarans (Danish shipyard Quorning Boats, founded 1967) for France and Spain, and serves as Atlantic-coast distributor for NEEL trimarans, YOT power catamarans, LEEN power trimarans, and Bali sailing catamarans. Its portfolio spans vessels from 25 to 72 feet with price points ranging from approximately €498,000 for an entry-level Bali Catsmart to €1,390,000 for a NEEL 52, plus a brokerage channel for pre-owned multicoques.

The operating model combines new-boat sales with a vertically integrated after-sales franchise: a 2,500m² service center (1,000m² covered workshop, 2,000m² outdoor yard, 25-tonne Parklev, 10-tonne lifting) provides winter storage, maintenance, refit, and customization, and Hellomulti is the only authorized French service center for Dragonfly's proprietary Swing Wing folding system, serving approximately 150 Dragonfly boats on the Atlantic coast. In April 2024 the company extended into nautical-equipment retail via the AD Nautic boutique. Go-to-market is event- and relationship-driven — heavy presence at major European boat shows (boot Düsseldorf, Cannes Yachting Festival, Grand Pavois La Rochelle, International Multihull Show La Grande Motte), proprietary open-house events, private sea trials, and a two-agent channel network covering Port-Leucate (Emeraude Multicoques) and Huelva, Spain (OCEANCAT).

The company serves affluent sailing and power-multihull enthusiasts seeking premium brands and specialized service, with a core team of approximately 10 people. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Brand recognition has been reinforced by Dragonfly 32 Evolution winning Multicoque de l'Année 2019 and the Dragonfly 36 winning Multicoque de l'Année 2025 in the Voile Sportive category, while the NEEL 47 was nominated for European Yacht of the Year 2020.

Direct peers

• Excess Catamarans: Performance-sailing catamaran line from the Beneteau group, targeting sportier buyers in the same segment as Dragonfly trimarans. Direct overlap with HELLOMULTI's sport-sail proposition and European catamull enthusiast buyer.
• Corsair Marine: Builder of folding trimarans (Corsair 760, 880, Pulse 600) using a similar trailerable/folding beam concept to Dragonfly. Most direct functional competitor to Dragonfly trimarans and to HELLOMULTI's sport-trimaran value proposition.
• Fountaine Pajot: Leading French sailing catamaran manufacturer whose Bali and Astréa ranges compete with HELLOMULTI's distributed Dragonfly, NEEL, and Bali-branded catamarans for the same European cruising buyer. Highly comparable on product category and target customer.
• Privilège Marine: French builder of luxury long-range cruising catamarans (Privilège Signature, Euphorie, Série Océane) for blue-water owners, comparable to HELLOMULTI's NEEL and LEEN trawler-trimaran offerings in the high-end multihull cruising segment.
• Sunreef Yachts: Polish-built luxury custom catamarans serving the same ultra-affluent multihull buyer that HELLOMULTI reaches through its Bali and NEEL offerings, including custom-order configurations similar to HELLOMULTI's refit and customisation services.
• HH Catamarans: South African-built premium performance cruising catamarans (HH44, HH55, HH OC series) competing for the same high-end performance-cruising buyer as Dragonfly and NEEL. Directly comparable on price band and product category.
• Gunboat: Builder of high-performance, high-end sailing catamarans and foiling cats. Competes with Dragonfly for the sport-performance buyer and with broader HELLOMULTI's multihull portfolio for affluent performance sailors in the Mediterranean/Atlantic corridor.
• Catana Group: French catamaran and trimaran builder (Catana and Bali brands), directly competitive with HELLOMULTI's distributed NEEL and Bali portfolios for performance-cruising buyers. Particularly comparable on multihull positioning and dealer-network operations in Europe.
• Nautitech Catamarans: French-built cruising catamarans (Nautitech 40 Open, 44, 46) competing head-to-head with HELLOMULTI's distributed Bali and NEEL catamarans in the European mid-size cruising segment. Strong direct comparability on product, geography, and customer.

Broad incumbents

• Lagoon Catamarans (Beneteau Group): World's largest sailing-catamaran brand and part of the Beneteau group (where HELLOMULTI's founders previously worked). Competes broadly for multihull buyers across Europe; broader portfolio with monohulls and motor yachts puts it as incumbent rather than direct niche match.
