30 ans de passion et de créativité
Only one year after the launch of the successful Hanse 460, which was voted European Yacht of the Year 2022, Hanse Yachts announces the presentation of the Hanse 510 at the next Salón Nautico Barcelona.
This second collaboration between the German shipyard and our Berret-Racoupeau Yacht Design agency, opens new perspectives for a 50 ft yacht. Innovation, performance and comfort enter a new dimension, as in the case of the exceptional tender garage. From the cockpit to the interior, the modern design and the generosity of the spaces combine conviviality and intimacy. The quality of life on board and the pleasure of sailing have a rendez-vous on board the Hanse 510.
The Berret-Racoupeau Yacht Design agency is particularly proud that at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2022, the Fountaine Pajot shipyard unveiled the outline of the ambitious NEW 80 project. Already in production, this 24-metre Multiyacht should be presented at the same show in a year’s time.
Romain Motteau, CEO of Fountaine Pajot, says that the NEW 80 is “really one of the most ambitious projects we have ever had at the yard. Many of the owners of our 67-foot sailing and motor yachts have been asking us for years now to offer a larger boat. This exceptional project has been developed over two years and in great secrecy, thanks to our partner, Berret Racoupeau Yacht Design, with whom we have been doing an extraordinary job for years, and who has done a lot with our Design Office, and given the best of Fountaine Pajot.
Olivier Racoupeau confirms, “Even if the Fountaine Pajot style is there with some familiar elements, the NEW 80 is a real superyacht, emphasizing the lifestyle on board. It is no match for the much larger motor yachts. As it is in the DNA to sail well, even though the NEW 80 is close to a superyacht in many ways, this boat is designed using the same hydrodynamic and ergonomic principles as all other Fountaine-Pajot yachts.”
As for the interior of this yacht, Isabelle Racoupeau has designed them “like those of a superyacht, very upmarket, with a very fine selection of materials and particular attention to perceived quality. There is conviviality, but with its large cabins and multiple relaxation areas, there is also intimacy” on board this NEW 80.
Berret-Racoupeau Yacht Design will be present at the Cannes Yachting Festival. New yachts, exclusive information, innovations, awards, we have so much to share with you. Do not hesitate to contact us to arrange a meeting: info@berret-racoupeau.com
“Berret Racoupeau Yacht Design has been among the most prominent naval architecture firms for many years. For their first collaboration with the German group Hanse, the 460 was elected European Yacht of the Year last January. An award that perfectly illustrates the international dimension taken on by the French agency. Olivier and Isabelle Racoupeau gave a long interview to Figaro Nautisme to talk about their latest projects, their profession, but also environment and design.”
We are always happy to answer questions from the media.
It is often an excellent opportunity to reflect on our activity, how we do it, how we are organized and how we react to trends and developments in the world.
We are passionate about our job, or more precisely our jobs, because Berret Racoupeau Yacht Design is so holistic. We are always happy to share our enthusiasm for new amazing yachts and the process of creating them.
The full interview (6 pages, in French only, sorry) can be found online in the Figaro Nautisme special issue “Collection 2022”, HERE.
In these stormy times, the ocean would appear the most beautiful refuge. A space of freedom par excellence, it arouses a craze that is multiplied tenfold by the constraints we have ashore. So the 2022 vintage from Berret Racoupeau Yacht Design, which we are delighted to unveil in these pages, is more diverse than ever. It reflects all the passions for the sea, all possible forms of boating.

Twelve European magazines have voted the brand new Hanse 460 “European Yacht of the Year” in the highly competitive “Family Cruiser” category. This award confirms the commercial success of this first collaboration with Hanse Yachts. The jury noted the “leap forward to a fresh looking modern design, with all its benefits for easier control. Better performance and more spacious interiors, while combining the traditional Hanse virtues.” The Berret-Racoupeau Yacht Design team is very proud of this project and we sincerely thank the Hanse Yachts Group for trusting us, which opens up some very exciting future.
Only a few months after the launch of the Zeffiro 130, ISA Yachts unveils a new 45-metre model, still designed by Berret Racoupeau Yacht Design. On a project initiated by Renaud Canivet at Ocean Drive, the Italian shipyard innovates once again to raise to the highest level of excellence, both style and construction quality. With this exclusive design, elegance becomes timeless and space infinite.
Symphony Marine is innovating by entrusting the design of its new range of luxury solar electric motoryachts to Berret Racoupeau Yacht Design.
Specially designed to integrate the imperatives of electric propulsion while offering the level of comfort of a large yacht, the Whisper 50 is the first model to be unveiled.
Guy Marchal, President and founder of Symphony Marine, called on our agency, convinced by our long experience of multihulls and our 360° vision of projects, from naval architecture to interior design.
Elegant lines, modern fittings, involved with the preservation of our environment, the first model presented, the Whisper 50, innovates by exploring new paths. With its abundance of space and light, its panoramic view of the sea, the design and ergonomics of the layout favor relaxation and conviviality.
We are particularly proud to accompany Whisper Yachts in this forward-thinking approach, combining the luxury of a super yacht, the space, stability and autonomy of a multihull, with a silent and eco-friendly electric propulsion.
Presented as a world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival, the all-new J/45 has the sleek lines and performance that have made the brand so successful for the past 45 years. But the interior design has a seductive French flavour with a design by Isabelle Racoupeau. It respects the sporty DNA of the J, but its comfort and elegance are immediately appealing. The bright atmosphere, the warmth of the materials chosen and the ergonomic navigation make the J/45 the perfect flagship of the well-named ‘Elegance Yachts’ range.
We have been present at each edition for more than 20 years and we are delighted to participate again in the Monaco Yacht Show 2021. We will be very happy to welcome you on our stand: Quai des Etats-Unis / QE7.
You will also find us in the new Designer & Innovation Hub area of the show. We have indeed been honored to be invited there, and you will be able to discover a short video, summarizing our recent creations.
