Since its creation in 2007, our world Black Pepper Yachts brand has become a benchmark in the world of international yachting. The shipyard, based in Nantes near the Atlantic coast, has built its reputation on its “Codes”, high-performance sailing boats from 27′ to 72′ with such an elegant and vintage neo-retro design.

This reputation was further enhanced with the construction of prestigious “One Off” racing prototypes designed for racing the Vendée Globe, a solo and without assistance all around the world race: Bureau Vallée (ex l’Occitane en Provence); Initiatives-Cœur and OceansLab Innovations.

Our experienced engineers and craftsmen come from a wide range of backgrounds, including shipbuilding, the composite materials and chemical industries, ocean racing, cabinetmaking and artisanal upholstery. This melting pot of cultures lends Black Pepper a highly original touch, combining ancestral know-how with innovative, modern production techniques.
