Driven by a passion for elegance, design, performance and innovation, the women and men of Black Pepper® Yachts create distinctive yachts combining advanced technology, sailing pleasure and a refined art of living.
Based in Nantes, near France’s Atlantic coast, Black Pepper® Yachts designs and builds carbon sailing yachts distinguished by their neo-classical lines, performance and extensive customisation.
The shipyard first gained recognition with its “Code” range, comprising sailing yachts from 8 to 25 metres designed to combine responsive sailing, elegance and enjoyment at sea.
Black Pepper Yachts also applies its expertise to offshore racing and one-off projects, including the IMOCA yachts Bureau Vallée 3, Initiatives-Cœur 4 and OceansLab Innovation, developed for the world’s leading ocean races, including the Vendée Globe.
With the Code C.69 and Code C.100, the shipyard is now developing a range of high-performance carbon catamarans designed for fast, refined bluewater cruising.
The Black Pepper tenders complete the range with 5- to 7-metre motor yachts developed with the same focus on design, performance and finish quality.
Black Pepper® Yachts brings together naval architects, engineers, craftsmen and sailors around a shared ambition: to create distinctive, high-performance and enduring yachts.
Each project is shaped through close dialogue with its owner, supported by advanced composite expertise and a constant search for balance between elegance, sailing pleasure and innovation.
The Black Pepper range includes carbon sailing yachts, bluewater cruising catamarans, tenders and custom-built racing yachts.
The Black Pepper® Yachts team brings together expertise from naval construction, composite materials, offshore racing, cabinetmaking and bespoke upholstery.
This combination of skills allows the shipyard to unite contemporary technology, carbon expertise and artisanal craftsmanship.
From initial design to final finishes, every yacht is developed with close attention to performance, reliability, ergonomics and the individual character of the project.
Black Pepper Yachts assists owners with the sale and acquisition of pre-owned sailing yachts and catamarans.
A selection of privately owned Black Pepper yachts is available for charter, offering a distinctive opportunity to experience the shipyard’s sailing qualities and design philosophy.
Black Pepper Yachts supports owners with the ongoing care and management of their yacht, including maintenance, winter storage, preparation, launching and coordination of technical work
