Marina Jarniat: Hi Christophe, what is your background and the history of Abalone?
Christophe de Kerdrel: Born into a family of sailors, I’ve been a boating professional for around twenty years, a cruising enthusiast and regatta racer, with a passion for anything that floats… I spent 7 years with the Bénéteau group working for the Lagoon brand, with a particular interest in flagships in France and abroad. Today, I have my own yacht consultancy business, Abalone, which will be created in 2021.
MJ: Who is Abalone aimed at?
CdK: With Abalone, I bring my expertise to the yachting industry to help them develop. I also help boat owners choose the boat model and/or shipyard that best suits their project.
MJ: What are the advantages of working with Abalone?
CdK: For professionals, my network and my knowledge of boatyards enable me to target my business strategy as effectively as possible. The same applies to support for private customers, who often hesitate between brands that don’t always match their project.
MJ: Why did you choose Crusoe as your partner?
CdK: Crusoe and Abalone share common values and I’m delighted to be able to promote them through this dynamic partnership.
MJ: How is Abalone involved in environmentally responsible initiatives?
CdK: I try to guide and raise awareness among my B2B and private customers as much as possible in terms of eco-responsibility (decarbonisation, for example). We’re only at the beginning, but there is a real awareness among certain manufacturers such as Sunreef Yachts, whose 80 Sunreef Power Eco is at the forefront of eco-responsible motor yachts.
