All about: Refit

At the Second-hand Multihull and Refit Show, we met Adrien Jousset, founder of Nexus Marine. A naval architect who graduated from Southampton and former head of the design office at Sunreef Yachts, he established his first company in 2017 before relaunching it as Nexus Marine in 2024.

If you follow any multihull-based YouTube channels, this young American couple will need no introduction. They’d been cruising the Bahamas and the Caribbean aboard their 50-foot monohull, but were dreaming of better things. And one day, an opportunity presented itself that they couldn’t refuse. In the wake of the devastation caused by Hurricane Beryl in the Grenadines, they came across a Lagoon 450 that looked like it might be within their budget. There was just the small matter of it being upside down in the mangroves of Tyrrel Bay on the island of Carriacou… 

It was during the International Multihull Show at La Grande-Motte that the first catamaran from the Neo program was unveiled to the public, in the form of a fully refurbished Lagoon 620.
