On one side, an officer and captain on ships ranging from 20 to 50 metres for 12 years, and on the other, a navigator and director of Arthaud Yachting<\/a>, a renowned company in the world of yacht chartering and nautical events. Perfectly located between Monaco and Saint Tropez, Cannes is the ideal place to host a yacht sales, rental, management and maintenance company.<\/p>\n

In a warm, comforting and refined setting reminiscent of the interior of a superyacht, Pelagia Yachting inaugurated its new office in 2024. You can now meet our entire team at Port Canto in Cannes to discuss your short- and long-term yachting projects. We look forward to assisting and advising you in our areas of expertise, including management, logistics, sales, construction, charter management and much more… Our in-depth knowledge of the market will help you find the best motor or sailing yacht between 12 and 50 metres in length.<\/p>\n

Extremely dynamic and up-to-date, our company is proud to offer unrivalled expertise in every area of yachting by staying connected to the latest news and market trends. We have assembled a team of passionate and dedicated professionals who are ready to put their skills at the service of our clients. Having not followed a traditional career path, we do not consider ourselves to be mere \u2018boat salespeople and managers\u2019. We talk about things we know because we believe that no one can have a better experience on board a boat than crew members who have spent months working closely with clients of various nationalities.<\/p>\n

Together, we offer you a network, expertise and know-how. We have turned our love of the sea into our profession. We are passionate about what we do and understand the need to make your life easier with consistent pricing. That’s why, with an \u2018on-board staff\u2019 approach, we strive to offer our clients privileged and flexible assistance to help them overcome any potential challenges.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”boc_animate_when_almost_visible boc_right-to-left” image=”871″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content” equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1673522931611{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;background-color: #213c35 !important;}” el_class=”white”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1673522829263{padding-right: 10% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;}” css_animation=”boc_animate_when_almost_visible boc_bottom-to-top” el_class=”no_text_transform justify”]<\/p>\n

HUGO PRAT<\/h4>\n

Co-Founder<\/em><\/p>\n

From a very young age, the sea has always been Hugo’s great passion. At the age of 10, he started sailing competitively on board dinghies and monohulls, before deciding to specialise in the nautical industry at the age of 18.<\/p>\n

In 2009, he obtained a Bachelor’s degree in this field and started working for a well-known charter company in Cannes.<\/p>\n

In 2011, he joined Arthaud Yachting as marketing director, before becoming CEO in 2016. With his strong industry experience and excellent network in the yachting world, Hugo is a valuable asset to represent your yacht.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1587129661072{margin-bottom: 20px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image alignment=”center” css=”” image=”18062″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1766406787029{border-radius: 1px !important;}” css_animation=”boc_animate_when_almost_visible boc_bottom-to-top” el_class=”justify”]<\/p>\n

QUENTIN<\/h4>\n

Co-Founder<\/em><\/p>\n

After more than 14 years at sea, I remain active as a captain, with solid experience operating yachts of\u00a0 50 meters. This career path has allowed me to work closely with a variety of owners, each with different expectations and approaches, yet all sharing the same objective: delivering a high standard of yacht operation and ownership experience.<\/p>\n

I have also been involved in three major refit projects in Italy and France, as well as the supervision of construction.<\/p>\n

Driven by the desire to support other owners in their yachting projects, while continuing my role at sea, I co-founded Pelagia Yachting alongside Hugo, managing director of Arthaud Yachting, a well-established company in the nautical events and charter industry (MYBA member)<\/p>\n
