The Fountaine Pajot Group is expanding its activities with the launch of Vélite, a new international network dedicated to the sale of pre-owned boats. Drawing on the global network of Fountaine Pajot and Dufour dealers, the platform aims to bring greater structure to the used boat market by providing a common framework for sellers, buyers and brokers.

Presented as a network of pre-owned boat specialists, Vélite offers local support while providing international visibility through more than 150 dealers worldwide. The stated objective is to simplify transactions by harmonizing commercial practices and service standards in a market where pre-owned boats now account for the majority of sales. In France, according to the builder, they represent 87% of all boating transactions.

The group is also introducing the Nextsail label, reserved for Fountaine Pajot catamarans and Dufour sailing yachts less than seven years old. Certified boats are inspected by an independent surveyor and, depending on their profile, benefit from a warranty of up to 12 months.

With this new activity, Fountaine Pajot aims to support owners throughout the entire life cycle of their boat, from purchase to resale, while strengthening the value of its brands in the pre-owned market.
