Alubat is a world-renowned shipyard specialising in aluminium sailing yacht production. Founded in 1973 and located on the west coast of France, in the heart of the Vendée nautical sector, the company quickly became known for its innovative design and quality craftsmanship within the nautical industry. Alubat is responsible for the design, build and sale of Ovni, Cigale, and Alubat 58 yachts, with more than 1500 hulls on the seven seas. Their boats are particularly favoured by nautical enthusiasts, especially for long cruises and expeditions due to their durability, safety and performance.
Over time, Alubat has constantly evolved with the changing landscape of boat manufacturing, especially in relation to sustainability measures and cutting-edge technologies. This has led to a brand rejuvenation in 2017 when the company was bought by new shareholders. Alubat made significant advancements, notably by incorporating more modern architectural designs and advanced ergonomic strategies. This also led to the reintroduction of the new generation of Ovni, which combines the best of their traditional design with modern amenities.
Today, Alubat continues to operate from its original location in Les Sables d'Olonne, France, supported by a network of agents worldwide. Alubat's dedication to exceptional build quality, solid performance characteristics and innovative design, has earned the company a reputation among bluewater cruisers and sailing enthusiasts alike. Maintaining an uncompromising approach towards boat building, Alubat remains in constant pursuit of excellence, blending tradition with innovation to create truly unique sea-faring vessels.
