Company Profile

Created in 1986, the C.I.M. Shipyard (Industrial and Maritime Constructions) has specialised in the design and construction of boats from 15 to 45 meters in length, made in either composite materials or aluminium alloy. The premises ensure the complete production of the sophisticated MAXI YACHTS from the preliminary draft studies of these units, to their delivery. Since 1998, the C.I.M. shipyard has been proposing a complete range of catamarans called OCEAN VOYAGER from 52 ' to 82 ' intended for the day charter business, which can accommodate from 28 to 80 passengers according to the model. The C.I.M. shipyard is able to build in its shipyard any unit boat made in composite materials or aluminium alloy, up to 45 meters length.
