What Global Yacht Technology does

Global Yacht Technology (GYT) is a French naval architecture and yacht engineering firm, incorporated as a SAS and headquartered in La Baule-Escoublac in Brittany's Sailing Valley, that designs and engineers custom cruising trimarans for ultra-high-net-worth buyers. The company's single flagship product is ANAHITA, positioned as the world's first 100-foot cruising trimaran, a 31-meter by 21-meter vessel with a 34-ton displacement (~60% lighter than conventional yachts of similar length), a 123 m² interior living space, a 160 m² forward "marine garden" trampoline, 36 m² of integrated solar panels, and Bureau Veritas classification. ANAHITA is built in pre-preg carbon with infusion processes, incorporating a direct technology transfer from offshore racing; all onboard systems are centralized around the vessel's center of gravity for stability and maintenance access, and the design is offered in Owner and Family configurations with full bespoke customization.

GYT operates an asset-light, partner-orchestrated model. The founders — Gwenaël Bardou, Ronan Guérin, and Ulysse Harin — work alongside a curated alliance of elite French maritime firms: VPLP Design (naval architecture, structural calculations, exterior design), CDK Technologies (construction in Brittany), Gsea Design (mast structural engineering), Mer Forte (appendage mechanical systems), Mer Concept (coachroof construction), Lorima (carbon rigging), Christophe Chedal Anglay (interior design), and Étienne Chauleur (head of the design office). Brand positioning is supported by ambassador Loïck Peyron, a renowned French offshore sailor.

The business model is bespoke one-time yacht sales with multi-year contract cycles and full lifecycle support from conception through operational management. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the first hull has already been sold with delivery scheduled for 2027. The go-to-market is direct, relationship-driven engagement with UHNW individuals and investors through private presentations and shipyard site visits, with no mass-market or retail channel. Revenue is not disclosed and the company has no identified institutional investors, with only €9,000 in registered share capital — consistent with an early-stage, founder-controlled builder.
