Symbolic icon of the ALU MARINE Shipyard, this luxury catamaran designed by Van Peteghem Lauriot Prévost (VPLP), is to this day the largest cruising sailing catamaran in the world.

 

Our close collaboration with this renowned design office has seen the construction of a superb, high-performance and attractive yacht. Guests on Douce France will enjoy luxurious ocean crossings in a comfortable and safe environment, not forgetting performance.

 

 

With 600 m² of sail area, Douce France can exceed 20 knots in 27 knots of wind without compromising the comfort of the guests.

 

This 138-footer is not only the largest in the world in her class, it is also the result of a detailed study to attain the maximum performance, comfort and well being on board.
