A company born of an observation
Sébastien David came up with the idea of founding Kerboat Services after observing the lack of structure in the boat cleaning sector. At the time, the market was limited to a handful of independents, with no real national network. Inspired by personal services models, he created a brand capable of making qualified teams available to boat owners and managers.
The very name Kerboat Services reflects the company's DNA: "Ker" evokes Breton roots and the notion of home, while "Care" means "to take care of". The addition of "Services" reflects the company's desire to offer a wide range of complementary boating-related services.
Dazzling growth
In just ten years, the company has enjoyed impressive growth. With a dozen branches along the French coastline, from the English Channel to the Mediterranean, Kerboat Services is now the leading national network specializing in boat cleaning and yachting services. This success is based on a gradual diversification of services.
While interior and exterior boat cleaning remains the company's core business, the range has been expanded to include services such as thermo-coating, boat preparation for boat shows, and the cleaning of engine rooms and technical areas on professional vessels.
Recognized expertise in several sectors
The company no longer confines itself to pleasure boats. It has made its mark in fields as demanding as ocean racing, luxury yachting and professional vessels such as passenger ships, ocean liners and government service boats. Temporary surface protection completes this range of services.
This diversification has enabled Kerboat Services to position itself as a trusted partner for players in the yachting and marine industries.
A strong environmental commitment
Sensitive to ecological issues, Kerboat Services makes it a point of honor to use eco-responsible products and methods that reduce environmental impact. Water consumption is optimized and cleaning solutions are selected to minimize polluting effects on marine environments.
For the next ten years, Sébastien David's ambition is clear: pursue territorial development by opening new branches, notably via a network of franchisees, and explore international opportunities.
The company plans to intensify its collaboration with the world of ocean racing, a sector where needs remain specific but where its expertise could find a growing place.
