Heritage

Three generations. One unbroken standard of craft.

The Founder's Vision

"A yacht is not built. It is composed."

In 1987, naval architect Étienne Aurelian left the world's largest shipyards to build vessels his own way — slowly, obsessively, with no division between design and execution. His conviction was simple: the finest yachts are composed, not assembled.

That philosophy still governs every keel laid in Monaco today. Each vessel passes through the hands of fewer than twelve master craftsmen, from first drawing to sea trial.

Single branch precision manufacturing

Single-Branch Precision

One yard. One chain of accountability.

Unlike yards that subcontract hulls, joinery, and electronics to separate firms, Aurelian manufactures every discipline under a single, continuous chain of command — from carbon lay-up to final sea trial.

This single-branch model means design intent is never diluted by translation between vendors. The engineer who draws the hull line is the same engineer who signs off on its tolerance.
