From 8 to 13 September, Boero Yacht Coatings will be exhibiting at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026, one of the world’s leading international events dedicated to the yachting industry. The show provides an important opportunity to meet customers, shipyards, professionals and international partners, while reinforcing the brand’s growth strategy in key markets and its position as a leading supplier of coating systems for yachts and superyachts.
France at the heart of Boero Yacht Coatings’ growth strategy
France is one of Boero Yacht Coatings’ most important strategic markets. As home to world-renowned shipyards, a thriving offshore sailing community and cutting-edge marine innovation, it plays a central role in the company’s international development.
To strengthen its presence and provide even closer support to marine professionals, Boero Yacht Coatings operates a dedicated logistics hub in La Rochelle, one of Europe’s leading nautical centres, together with its offices in Mougins, in the heart of the French Riviera. This local organisation enables the company to deliver efficient service and technical support to shipyards, applicators, boat owners and distributors throughout the country.
This direct presence is part of a broader international strategy that has positioned Boero Yacht Coatings among the world’s leading players in the yachting coatings sector, with a commercial network spanning more than 50 countries and coating systems successfully applied to over 1,000 yacht and superyacht projects worldwide.
From offshore racing to the world’s most prestigious yachts
Boero Yacht Coatings’ commitment to performance extends well beyond the commercial market and into the world of elite offshore sailing.
The company proudly supports Damien Seguin, two-time Paralympic champion and leading IMOCA sailor, as he prepares for the Route du Rhum 2026. During the refit of the trimaran Arkéa – Handicap International, Boero Yacht Coatings supplied the complete coating system, contributing to a project that has already celebrated success with victory in the Multi 2000 class at the Drheam-Cup.
Alongside Seguin, the company also partners with Francesca Clapcich, one of the leading figures in international offshore sailing, whose IMOCA campaign is based in Lorient, one of the world’s foremost centres for offshore racing.
These collaborations reflect Boero Yacht Coatings’ ability to operate at the highest levels of competitive sailing, translating experience gained in the sport’s most demanding environments into advanced coating solutions for the professional yachting industry.
A complete coating system for yachts and superyachts
The pursuit of performance is embedded throughout the Boero Yacht Coatings product portfolio.
From CHALLENGERPRO premium topcoats, engineered to deliver outstanding aesthetics, long-lasting gloss and exceptional durability, to primers, undercoats and antifouling solutions for underwater hull protection, the company offers a complete coating system designed to safeguard hull integrity, improve efficiency and deliver reliable long-term performance.
Combined with technical expertise and dedicated customer support, this integrated approach enables shipyards, applicators and yacht owners to achieve the highest standards at every stage of the coating process.
