Monaco Marine - October 07, 2008

... New look and new concept for our website very soon  ...

Monaco Marine was started in the mid nineties in Monaco by Michel Ducros as a result of his passionate love of boats and of his business vision. The goals were:
  • To create a service oriented industrial group in the field of luxury yachts
  • To develop the Monaco Marine brand around a global service concept
  • To optimize the level and quality of the services supplied to clients under that brand name
  • To extend the development of the group to the Mediterranean basin through a series of progressive acquisitions following a constant path of growth

A continuous M&A strategy has, in the past ten years, grouped several units under the holding company
Monaco Marine SA:
  • Monaco Marine France with five yacht repair and refit yards in:
    • Beaulieu sur Mer
    • Saint-Laurent-du-Var
    • Port Fréjus
    • Golfe de Saint-Tropez
    • La Ciotat
  • and two service companies :
    • Riviera Marine Diesel, specializing in diesel engines
    • TechniYachts, specializing in spare parts supply
Power Boat SAM, a company that operates with two floating docks and a base in Monaco’s Vieux Port and offers specialized services to small yachts.
  • Monaco Marine Broker France offering brokerage services in Port Fréjus and Monaco Marine USA offering brokerage services in Fort Lauderdale, USA.

The Monaco Marine brand has reached today a high level of recognition in the industry and is focusing its efforts towards the consolidation of its core activity, the yacht repair and refit business.
The group, leveraging on its positive and growing financial results, is today looking at new opportunities abroad while continuing to invest within its main market area with the construction of a new state-of-the-art megayacht facility in La Ciotat.
