Privilege Marine

French luxury catamarans built for ocean crossings.

Privilege has been building sailing catamarans since 1985 in Les Sables d’Olonne, the French Atlantic port town known as the home of the Vendee Globe. The yard specialises in blue-water sailing in the top segments: heavy, seaworthy catamarans on which owners live on board for extended periods and cross oceans.

A key feature is the degree of customisation. Each vessel is designed and finished in consultation with the owner, from the layout to the type of timber and technical specifications. The current range comprises the 510, Signature 600, 650 and the newer 5X models. The owner’s cabin in the bow and the open-plan saloon on the same level as the cockpit are recognisable Privilege features.
