Garcia Yachts, founded by two metalworker brothers, Jean-Pierre and Jean-Louis Garcia, have been designing and building internationally-renowned ocean cruising boats since 1974. In 2010 Garcia Yachts joined Allures Yachting and Outremer as part of the Grand Large Yachting group, which has since perpetuated the tradition by designing unique aluminum boats with an exemplary-quality finish. Founded in 2003 by Xavier Desmarest and Stéphan Constance, the Grand Large Yachting group owns Garcia Yachts and Allures Yachting, 2 shipyards specializing in aluminum, and Outremer and Gunboat, 2 emblematic multihull brands. In addition to the design and construction of boats, these shipyards offer future owners full support through the group’s service company, Grand Large Services. From the beginning of the project to its completion, the future owner benefits from careful listening and a personalized follow-up, before, during and after sailing. Garcia Yachts and Allures Yachting sites are physically located in Cherbourg in northern France, and share the same premises. This proximity was desired and implemented by the founders of Grand Large Yachting to provide them with a local production tool, totally controlled and capable of offering great flexibility to each of the projects. Open to future owners, this shared space makes it possible to meet their specific requests.
