Extending the services of Servaux in the Var department
Already present in the Bouches du Rhône and Alpes-Maritimes with its agency in Cannes and its head office in Marseille, Servaux is opening up its business in the Var and the Gulf of Saint-Tropez through this partnership. The complementary nature of the CNB Villanova Beaulieu Shipyard and its 20,000 m², its 75-tonne travelift, its fittings store and quays in Port Cogolin, Les Canoubiers and Saint-Tropez with the infrastructures of Servaux Yachting in Marseille, which include 60,000 m², 400 berths in water and in racks from 6 to 30 metres in a private marina, workshops and shop areas, Accastillage Diffusion and winter storage warehouses, broaden the opportunities of the 2 partners. "We will be able to offer our services to ships in Saint-Tropez, particularly in safety and rescue, with the overhaul of rafts and lifejackets. We will also be able to develop the sustainable and reasoned yachting aspect. The electrically-powered Zodiac e-Jet, currently in our Marseilles premises, will now be based in Saint-Tropez and Cogolin for testing and marketing," says Nicolas Benveniste, Chairman of Servaux.
