A need for service specific to super yachting
Founded in 2015 by Sébastien David, the boat cleaning company Kerboat Services began by providing services to yachtsmen and yacht and motor boat builders, particularly at boat shows. It then moved on to the professional boat sector. It is now opening up to the super yachting market by officially launching the Kerboat Yachting brand. "At boat shows such as the Cannes Yachting Festival, we deal with increasingly top-of-the-range boats. By contacting yacht refit yards such as IMS Shipyard or Monaco Marine, where we are now referenced, we realised that there was no company on the market with structured teams capable of offering 4 to 5 people specialised in cleaning over 2 days as we know how to do. On the other hand, buyers needed their own identity, as was the case for the professional boat, which shows a specific and more upmarket approach for super yachts. Washing a yacht is not the same as washing a Leader. That's why we launched Kerboat Yachting" explains Sébastien David.
Clients ranging from captains to refit yards..
There are many contacts in the yacht market for Kerboat Yachting. The company can intervene after the ship's maintenance yards or during the charter season. It is aimed at :
- to yacht refit yards
- to owners and captains in the case of small crews
- charter companies whose crew is resting between 2 rentals during the season
- to brokers and brokerage companies prior to the resale of the boat
- to the trade fair and events sector

To address this market, Kerboat Services relies on its new own agency opened in Cannes, as well as on the teams of all the franchisees in the PACA region. The future redesign of the website should provide a space dedicated to the Kerboat Yachting activity. First references already give credibility to the offer. Kerboat Yachting has already worked on 80-foot motoryachts or for the engine room of an 80-metre yacht.
