IGUANA YACHTS CELEBRATES ITS 15th ANNIVERSARY

December 15, 2023

In 2008, Antoine Brugidou, an engineer and boat enthusiast, noticed a lack of ease of use of boats in the Channel. Navigating the Mont St Michel Bay is complicated. With big tides of around 15m and over-saturated marinas, having access to the sea is extremely difficult. This is how Iguana Yachts was created.
