The company moved production to Rochefort, a historic maritime location, and has remained focused on multihull construction. Bavaria Yachts acquired the brand in 2014, adding industrial backing to the shipyard’s French production base. Nautitech is also known for working with naval architects such as Marc Lombard on later models.
