l’Atelier des Gazelles

Since 2005, Atelier des Gazelles has been designing and building lightweight boats aimed at making sailing accessible to everyone, whether with family, friends, or solo.

For more than 20 years, we have been developing innovative, adaptable and modular boats designed to meet the real needs of recreational sailors. Today, more than 800 Atelier des Gazelles boats are sailing on waterways around the world, demonstrating the reliability and durability of our designs.

All our models are designed by Patrick Besnié, naval architect and boatbuilder, and are entirely manufactured in our French workshop. This complete control over both design and production enables us to maintain high quality standards and carefully monitor every boat we build.

We use vacuum infusion technology, a manufacturing process that produces lightweight, strong and durable structures while optimizing material use. As a result, our boats remain easy to transport, allowing owners to explore new sailing areas with ease.

Our automatic water ballast system provides exceptional stability while maintaining a shallow draft. This innovative solution makes our boats versatile and easy to use on coastal waters, lakes and rivers alike.

Despite their compact size, our boats feature spacious, ergonomic and secure cockpits designed to maximize comfort, simplicity and enjoyment on the water.

Inspired by the timeless lines of traditional French boatbuilding, we create elegant and high-performance boats designed to be enjoyed across generations.

Sincerity lies at the heart of our approach. We take the time to understand our customers' needs and sailing habits, allowing us to develop boats that truly meet their expectations.

We maintain close relationships with our community of owners. Their feedback and shared experiences help us continuously improve our products while preserving the friendly spirit that has defined Atelier des Gazelles since its foundation.

Modularity is a key element of our design philosophy. Our boats and equipment are built to evolve alongside their owners' needs, providing a personalized and lasting sailing experience.

We are also committed to responsible manufacturing. Every boat is produced in our French workshop, with particular attention given to quality, durability and reducing environmental impact.

For more than twenty years, Atelier des Gazelles has remained committed to designing simple, reliable and elegant boats while respecting its customers, its craftsmanship and the environment.
