Altaïr Avocats Advises Titouan Hulot on the Acquisition of West Marine MC in Dinard, Ille-et-Vilaine

A strategic initiative aimed at ensuring the sustainability and growth of a key player in the boating industry

Established in Dinard for more than 25 years, West Marine MC has established itself as a go-to partner for all boating needs. The company serves a diverse clientele — recreational boaters, fishermen, sailors and professionals — with a comprehensive, integrated range of services.

It operates a boatyard of more than 5,000 square meters and carries out activities spanning the entire value chain: sales of new and used boats, rental, maintenance, repair, winter storage, and a fully equipped chandlery store.

The acquisition by Titouan Hulot, backed by Naos Invest, reflects a commitment to continuity of expertise and teams, while opening up new prospects for development. It aims to strengthen West Marine MC’s position in its market and support its growth in a boating sector undergoing change, marked by evolving usage patterns and customer expectations.
