What Yacht Solutions - Equipment & Customization does

Yacht Solutions is a privately held French company, founded in 2014 and headquartered at 179 quai de Brazza in Bordeaux, that operates a one-stop outfitting service for new owners of CNB and Lagoon yachts. The company describes itself as a "guichet unique" (one-stop shop) located immediately adjacent to the CNB and Lagoon shipyards, having delivered and equipped more than 40 new-build yachts of 60 feet or more over a six-year track record. Its primary customer segment is new yacht owners preparing for handover; a secondary segment comprises CNB and Lagoon dealers who refer buyers at the point of sale.

The core product is a subscription-gated web platform (yachtsolutions.fr) that presents a curated, model-specific equipment catalogue for each supported boat. Customers self-select or follow expert recommendations for communication gear, linens, embroidered towels, cleaning materials, safety equipment, cutlery, navigation instruments, and spare parts. This is supplemented by four service modules: onboard equipment installation, MCA (Maritime and Coastguard Agency) registration assistance for British trade registry access, personalized handover (decoration, bedding, skipper support), and a physical showroom in Bordeaux for in-person expert consultation. The platform requires account creation, supports both yacht owners and dealers, and is offered in French and English.

The business model combines transactional hardware sales on a per-equipment basis with installation and bespoke professional services revenue, gated behind a subscription login model. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the website and showroom, with the top of the funnel driven by warm referrals from authorised CNB and Lagoon dealers at the moment of boat purchase. The company is founder-led (Marc Renwick identified as editorial director), operates with 16 employees, holds a CNIL privacy declaration (number 1805856), and confines its operations to France with no disclosed funding, M&A, AI capabilities, or international expansion.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• CNB (Construction Navale Bordeaux)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerCNB (Construction Navale Bordeaux) is the shipyard whose new-build yacht owners are the primary target customer for Yacht Solutions. Yacht Solutions is located immediately adjacent to the CNB shipyard and positions itself as the exclusive 'one-stop shop' for CNB new-build owners. The partnership is centred on the shared goal of delivering a seamless, fully-equipped yacht handover experience. CNB effectively acts as an referral channel and co-delivery partner for yacht preparation.
• Lagoon (Catamaran)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerLagoon is the catamaran manufacturer whose new-build owners are the primary customer base for Yacht Solutions. The company has a longstanding relationship with Lagoon, having equipped 40+ new build yachts (60+ feet) over 6 years.
