At 8:30, the crane started to lift Avel Vaez. We are about six months late from the most optimistic schedule we could think about a year ago. Considering that the shipyard went through the bankruptcy from June to September 2023, in the middle of the project, we consider this is a great final outcome! A huge thank you to the teams at Marsaudon Composites and to the new owner Grand Large Yachting, this was only possible with these extraordinary people full commitment to make this project come to an end.

Avel Vaez will be one of the very few sailing boat certified by the french flag as a professional passenger transport vessel, fully approved for ocean crossing. This has required a thorough design review as well as an extensive list of additional equipment, including medical equipment and drugs as well as communication and distress call system, a true potable water distribution, etc. In this category of sailing catamaran, Avel Vaez is the most equipped for the safest navigations and ocean crossings!
The sea trials have started offshore Lorient and the acceptance is now scheduled from Feb 26th to Feb 29th with potential delivery on the 29th…
The plan is to leave Lorient between March 10th and March 15th and sail to La Grande Motte to attend the International Multihull Show from April 3rd to April 7th. Our first commercial cruise will start on April 8th with the most amazing sail across the Med to Athens in Greece. Check the program on our charter page.
