A new reference in custom aluminum sailing yachts

For over two decades, Bord à Bord shipyard—based in Brittany, France—has been a trusted name in the design and construction of high-quality aluminum vessels, including service boats (for diving, passenger transport, etc.) and sailing yachts. Today, the shipyard proudly announces the launch of OGHAM Yachts, a new brand dedicated to long-distance cruising sailboats that combine elegance, performance, and a spirit of adventure.

What sets OGHAM apart: the one-offs – 100% custom-built

Beyond its series models, OGHAM Yachts offers a truly bespoke approach. Every one-off project is a blank canvas, co-designed hand-in-hand with the owner. From hull lines to interior design, no detail is off-limits.

“There could be as many sailboats as there are sailors. Our mission is to bring each project to life — no matter how ambitious.”
