Neo-marine

What Neo-marine does

Neo-marine is a privately-held French boat dealer and brokerage specializing in multihull yachts and catamarans, founded in 2014 and registered in Martinique (SIRET 80436487500018, Code APE 4614Z). The firm operates from two locations, Le Marin in Martinique (Caribbean headquarters) and La Rochelle on the French Atlantic coast, under the 'Neo Marine Atlantique' sub-brand, enabling it to serve clients across both sides of the Atlantic and to support the European-to-Caribbean voyage program that defines its core customer base. Neo-marine is led by Pierre Lecler (Directeur Général) and operates with a small team of 1-10 employees.

The company's product offering combines authorized new-boat representation for multiple builders (Nautitech Catamarans, Excess Catamarans under an Antilles concession, Bavaria Sailing Yachts, Bavaria Motor Yachts, and Aventura Yachts) with a brokerage operation for pre-owned catamarans and sailing yachts (Fountaine Pajot, Lagoon, NEEL and other brands). The Excess 13 was elected Sailboat of the Year 2025, a recognition Neo-marine highlights in its marketing. Listings are distributed across approximately 15 specialized international boat-sale websites. The firm is the only disclosed company in the dataset with this specific cross-Atlantic boutique configuration.

Neo-marine's business model is built on transaction-fee commissions on the sale of new and pre-owned vessels, supplemented by professional-services revenue from training (formation), technical assistance, equipment customization, convoyage (delivery), and gardiennage (storage/guardianship), plus a sail-loft offering ('La Voilerie') through partnerships with Delta Voiles La Rochelle and OXLEY Sails. The firm pursues a multi-channel go-to-market including Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, email newsletters, organized sea trials, and an annual owner community event (L'Echappée Belle) in Martinique. Customers are individual high-net-worth sailors and families seeking catamarans or yachts configured for long-distance, blue-water cruising, with segment focus on long-voyage cruisers and family sailing enthusiasts. No public revenue, funding, or valuation data is disclosed.

Direct peers

• Sunsail: Global yacht charter company with a yacht sales division, operating sailing catamarans in the Caribbean and Mediterranean. Similar hybrid charter-plus-sales model and catamaran-heavy inventory, though with larger scale and broader geographic reach than Neo-marine.
• Filovent: French yacht charter and brokerage company focused on sailing yachts and catamarans. Directly comparable to Neo-marine in terms of customer base (French/European sailors), product mix (sailing catamarans and yachts), and brokerage model, with both offering new and used boat transactions plus ancillary services.
• Dream Yacht Worldwide: International yacht charter operator and brokerage with a strong catamaran focus across the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and other cruising grounds. Closely mirrors Neo-marine's combination of catamaran sales, brokerage, and post-sale customer support, including Caribbean operations.
• Ancasta: UK-based multibrand yacht dealer and broker representing multiple sailing yacht and motor yacht brands. Comparable to Neo-marine's multibrand authorized-dealership model with brokerage, though operating primarily in the UK/European market rather than France/Caribbean.
• The Moorings: International sailing catamaran charter and yacht sales company with strong Caribbean presence (bases in the British Virgin Islands, St. Martin, etc.). Comparable to Neo-marine in its mixed charter-brokerage-dealer approach to sailing catamarans serving the cruising customer.
• Berthon International: Long-established international yacht broker with new-boat representation and brokerage across sailing yacht and motor yacht segments. Comparable to Neo-marine in its combination of authorized new-boat sales and pre-owned brokerage for premium brands, with similar high-net-worth customer profiles.

Broad incumbents

• Fountaine Pajot: Major French catamaran and sailing yacht manufacturer with an extensive international dealer network. Competes with the brands Neo-marine represents (Nautitech, Excess) and operates its own dealer program, making it both an industry peer and a competitor to Neo-marine's brand portfolio.
• Catana Group: French catamaran manufacturer (Catana and Bali brands) with a global dealer network. Operates upstream of Neo-marine as a competing brand manufacturer but is comparable because it sells through dealer channels and competes for the same end customer seeking premium blue-water catamarans.
• MarineMax: Largest recreational boat retailer in the United States, offering new and brokerage boats across multiple brands plus financing and service. Comparable to Neo-marine's multibrand authorized-dealer-plus-brokerage model, though far larger scale and broader powerboat focus.

Others

• Boats Group: Operator of online boat marketplaces including YachtWorld, boats.com, and Boat Trader. Not a direct competitor but rather a key infrastructure partner for Neo-marine's brokerage listings across ~15 specialized websites, providing the buyer-side demand that fuels Neo-marine's resale business.
