History About us

GERALD WARD
founder,
in yachting for over 40 years

Good and prompt service that our many repeat clients have come to appreciate, whether for large, long term projects or those occasional emergency’s when a good service company can make all the difference.

Trusted by many

Created in Monaco in 1988 with the main activity being the interior refitting and renovation of boats and yachts.
The first projects were the fitting out of S/Y Zamora, a 43m classic steel sailing yacht, and S/Y Mephisto, a 24m joungert with the interior woods in balsa core and laminated teck with modern marine upholstery leatherette fabrics to create a light weight durable interior suitable for a modern cruiser racing yacht.
We later expanded into decoration of villas, and in 1999 expanded the saddlery and upholstery side of the business with an office in the port of Fontvieille,
Monaco, and a new showroom on the Monaco border in Cap d’Ail avenue 3 Septembre.
We are proud to have a clientele of distinguished and demanding yacht owners from the music and film industry as well as international businesses. The local community of boat owners and yachtsmen have supported us with their orders, small and large over the many years since being established.
