Allures Yachting, an innovative shipyard since its creation
At the origins of Allures Yachting was the ambition of two friends, passionate about sailing, to create the ideal bluewater yacht: safe, fast, comfortable, and elegant. Their idea was to combine a shaped aluminum hull with a centerboard and a composite deck. Together with one of the most talented naval architects of his generation, Olivier Racoupeau, they designed the iconic Allures 44. A double-seat chart table, a workshop area accessible from both inside and the cockpit, the first drawer fridges… the yacht was full of innovations and quickly became a success, followed by 40- and 51-foot models. After three generations of yachts, a new chapter begins today with the Allures Horizon 47 — once again designed by the same architect.
A Unique Concept
Combining a shaped aluminium hull with a composite deck
Safety and Elegance
Strong, sturdy, durable, and repairable, aluminum is the ideal material for a blue water cruising sailboat. It’s also ideal for a centerboarder configuration, which is itself the best choice for sailing around the world. As for composite, it allows for sleek, curved lines and enables an elegant design. Lightweight and well-insulated, the benefits are numerous. In short, an Allures offers the best of both worlds: a true adventurer in the guise of an elegant race-cruiser. Unique on the market.

Sailboats to discover
the world in complete safety
Aluminium Hull
Solid. Safe. Durable.
The strength of aluminum hulls makes them particularly suitable for blue water cruising. Durable and repairable, aluminum can be deformed in the event of impact, without tearing. In the most remote places, in the face of the harshest conditions, you and your crew will always be safe aboard an Allures.
Centerboarder
Total Freedom of Navigation
The centerboarder extends your zone of freedom, giving you access to shallow waters: beaches, lagoons, river entrances and sheltered areas. With the same stability requirements as a keelboat, it also offers far greater smoothness of movement, thanks to the virtual absence of downwind roll, even in heavy seas. Maneuvering and life on board are all the smoother and smoother. In very bad weather, raising the centerboard avoids the keel hook effect. This allows the boat to skid sideways, and - the ultimate safety feature - to remain maneuverable even in breaking seas.
Composite Deck
Elegance, Lightness and Insulation
First and foremost, the composite deck gives them an elegance uncommon in true aluminum blue water cruising yachts. The roof is rounded and the cockpit offers comfortable curves. The sandwich-type deck directly incorporates insulation, providing protection against excessively high or low temperatures. Lighter than aluminum, it gives the boat less top weight, a lower center of gravity, greater stability and therefore enhanced performance.
Durability
80% recycled aluminum
Allures yacht hulls are built from 80% recycled aluminium, which is fully recyclable. For the interior fit-out, our woodwork comes from FSC-certified forests, and the plywood is 100% made in France, reducing transport. Our manufacturing process also includes waste recovery and energy recovery.
Comfort
Sailboats for living,
around the world
Gentle and safe marine behavior
Architect Olivier Racoupeau designed hulls that strike a clever balance between performance and comfort. The weight is centered to optimize seakeeping and sailing comfort. When sailing downwind with the centerboard up, drag is reduced and the center of the centerboard is set back, making the boat even smoother. In breaking waves, thanks to the two rudders and the raised centerboard, the boat glides through the waves without snagging, allowing for controlled high-speed wave descents, even under autopilot.
Onboard Autonomy
and Easy Maintenance
All Allures have large fuel and water capacities. The storage spaces, both inside and outside, are spacious and allow for a large carrying capacity. You can equip your boat with different energy production systems according to your needs. All essential onboard systems—through-hull fittings, fuel and water circuits, electrical networks, technical equipment—are designed from the outset to be easily accessible, whether for routine checks, maintenance, or occasional repairs at sea. This means you can explore the most remote regions for extended periods of time, in complete autonomy.
Warm, Welcoming Interiors,
at Sea and at Anchor
On a long journey, interior comfort is also essential. On an Allures, volumes are generous and spaces well distributed. The layout is also designed with life at sea in mind, with numerous handrails ensuring safe, easy circulation. Glass surfaces are generous, views are unobstructed and interiors are bathed in light. Materials are selected for their quality, durability and aesthetic appeal, then meticulously assembled. Lighting is carefully designed, combining abundant natural light with LED strips to create a soothing ambience, day and night. Tinted woodwork, upholstery or hull color... each boat can be tastefully customized to reflect the personality of its owners.
