Bord à bord and Naviwatt: a new dynamic in naval electric propulsion

Bord à Bord, a Breton shipyard renowned for its expertise in aluminum, has just announced that it has taken over the manufacturing and marketing of Naviwatt series electric boats. This transition marks a turning point for both companies, which share a common vision of sustainable innovation in the professional and leisure boating sectors.

Meeting the needs of professionals and local authorities

With 20 years' experience, Bord à Bord stands out for its unsinkable, 100% recyclable aluminum boats. By integrating Naviwatt's ZENPRO, WEPRO, BEEPRO and ZENRIVER electric ranges, the shipyard extends its offer to include clean propulsion solutions.

The models acquired cover a wide range of uses, from port surveillance to passenger transport. With this acquisition, Bord à Bord confirms its ability to meet the growing demands of operators anxious to reduce their environmental impact.

Naviwatt: strategic refocusing on electrical engineering

For Naviwatt, this transfer is part of a move to refocus on its core business. The Morbihan-based company will continue to specialize in naval architecture and the development of electric drive solutions for existing projects.

With emblematic projects such as Zéphyr and its range of electric RIBs, Naviwatt has established itself as a key player in innovation in the field of low-carbon propulsion. This refocusing will enable the company to amplify its pioneering role in this sector.

Continuation of a collaboration dating back to 2018

Over the past six years, Bord à Bord and Naviwatt have cultivated a fruitful collaboration, combining expertise in shipbuilding and mastery of electrical technologies.

This acquisition consolidates Bord à Bord's position as a key player in electric boatbuilding. It also offers a unique opportunity to standardize and democratize the use of electric technologies in both professional and pleasure boating.
