Akilaria Boats, renowned for its meticulous and high-quality boat constructions, was established in Tunisia in 2006 by renowned ocean racer Daniel Andrieu in partnership with MCP Multicomposites, a Tunisian company. The firm began with the aim of providing intensely refined sailing vessels with offshore racing ergonomics and excellent safety features. In the area of sailing boats, the company has set the benchmark by focusing on robustness, reliability, and speed, prioritising an exceptional standard for competitive racing and cruising. Their RC1, RC2, and RC3 models immediately seized the attention of avid sailors worldwide, projecting Akilaria into the global limelight.
The company transitioned to France in 2009 and was integrated into the highly esteemed French yachting industry. Since then, the company has improved on its racing cruiser design and has been manufacturing based on the Class40 format. As a member of the Class40 Association, Akilaria has been thoroughly involved in maintaining the Class40's democratic principle, ensuring the affordability of the vessels, and promoting accessibility of offshore racing for a wide range of enthusiasts.
Currently located in Genas, a commune in the Metropolis of Lyon in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, in eastern France, Akilaria continues to make significant strides in the maritime landscape. It held the top three positions in the 2010 Route du Rhum and continues to achieve noteworthy performances in various events, demonstrating the superior quality and performance of its brand.
