Extend the lifespan of boats

Pioneers of Eco-Circular Boat Refurbishment

Welcome to the world of Yuniboat, where the passion for the sea meets a commitment to the planet! We are much more than a boatyard: we are pioneers in boat reconditioning within an eco-circular approach.

Founded in late 2021 by two childhood friends, Thierry BOUSSION and Luc FERRAND, the company was born from a deep conviction: too many boats are unused in France and the fiber of the hulls is not reused. However, it is perfectly possible to extend their lifespan while minimizing their environmental impact.

Thierry's message, co-founder of Yuniboat

Our Mission: Extending the Life of Boats and Preserving the Oceans

At Yuniboat, our mission is clear: to revolutionize the nautical industry by offering a sustainable alternative for #GoodNavigation. We specialize in the acquisition, refitting, and modernization of used boats, giving them a second life. By adopting an eco-circular approach, we reduce waste, optimize the use of existing resources, and offer reliable, safe, and affordable boats.

Our products or services

We refurbish boat hulls within an eco-circular approach. Typically, at least 80% of the original parts are reused. Yuniboat's products or services mainly include:

PRODUCT 1 : Reconditioned "white" hulls ready to be fitted and customized according to the client's wishes.
PRODUCT 2 : Eco-refurbished hulls ready to sail. To provide an immediate selection of available boats, we have chosen equipment and customization based on the most frequently requested options.
SERVICE : We are taking advantage of the website traffic to offer our clients a sales space for their boat. They are, of course, ready to be refurbished with you.

Why we decided to extend the lifespan of boats

The material constituting the hull is a complex product to recycle, so in the meantime, while sustainable and economical solutions are being developed, it is advisable to prioritize extending the lifespan of the existing product.
Sailors are eager to use more responsible boats.
Buyers are looking for used boats that are guaranteed.
There are 1.2 million boats in France.
Over a 40-year lifespan, boats spend less than a year in total time.
Every year for the past 20 years, there have been 70,000 to 80,000 transactions without any mandatory technical inspection on vessels.
We can extend the lifespan of boats before they are finally destroyed.
We can guarantee the boats on which we have intervened.
