DOUCE FRANCE is a luxury sailing catamaran designed by Van Peteghem & Lauriot Prevost, world-renowned naval architects and specialists for multihull yachts. She is perfectly equipped for charter worldwide to discover the world’s most beautiful and unspoiled places whilst submerged in the highest standards of luxury in the yachting industry.

She is built for adventure and graces the world seas with her gentle, yet impressive, appearance. Guests appreciate her spaciousness and intimacy, her elegance and fine line on the water. With her 138 feet she’s the largest schooner sailing catamaran in the world and anyone who sees her stunning looks cannot be left untouched.
