Privilege Marine, originally established under the name Jeantot Marine, began its journey in the mid-1980s in Les Sables-d'Olonne, France. Founded by Philippe Jeantot, a professional sailor and two-time winner of the BOC Challenge, the company initially set its sights on building high-performance cruising catamarans. Jeantot Marine quickly earned a reputation for constructing robust, luxurious, and innovative vessels, with the launch of their first model, the Privilege 14.70, in 1985 marking the inception of their now-iconic brand.In 2007, Jeantot Marine rebranded to Privilege Marine, aligning the company's identity more closely with its flagship series of catamarans. This period also saw a shift in ownership, culminating in the shipyard's acquisition by HanseYachts AG in 2017, a German-based yacht builder. This transition bolstered Privilege's capabilities in terms of design, production, and global market reach.Today, Privilege catamarans are still manufactured in Les Sables-d'Olonne, maintaining their storied heritage in the region. Recognised globally for their exceptional build quality, spacious layouts, and top-of-the-line amenities, Privilege Marine continues to innovate within the luxury cruising catamaran market. The company's commitment to excellence ensures that Privilege boats remain a premier choice for discerning sailors worldwide.
