The owner of Hanse Yachts AG takes control of Privilège Marine

Aurelius, owner of the Hanse Yachts group, becomes majority shareholder of Privilège Marine. An opening to the catamaran market and synergies in sight. Hanse wins the Feeling monohulls at the same time.

Aurelius, new majority shareholder of Privilège Marine

Aurelius Equity Opportunities SE & Co KgaA, already owner of Hanse Yachts AG, announced on 19 May 2017 that it had acquired a majority stake in the capital of the Marine Privilege group. All the shareholders have sold their shares to the German group, except Gilles Wagner, the current CEO of Privilège Marine, who will remain in office.

The Sables d'Olonne shipyard must be maintained and expanded, according to the press release from Privilège Marine. The existing boat catalogue is also kept.

Opening to catamarans

With the acquisition of the Privilège brand, Aurelius adds catamarans to its already broad offer. Rich of 6 brands of monohulls through the Hanse group, owner of Hanse, Dehler, Moody and Varianta yachts and motor boats Fjord and Sealine, the company did not offer any catamaran. It thus sets foot in one of the most dynamic niches in boating. We can nevertheless be surprised at the alliance of a mass production boatyard with a catamaran manufacturer, more oriented towards custom.

Gert Purkert, member of the board of directors of Aurelius, confirms Hanse Yachts' interest in catamarans and explains the need for external growth in this niche. "The high-end catamaran market has experienced particularly strong growth in recent years. HanseYachts has not yet been able to participate in this development, as it was simply not possible to manufacture units of this width in existing production facilities. The Privilege brand, appreciated and recognized, will perfectly complement the HanseYachts portfolio.

Future industrial and commercial synergies

If the press release of Privilège Marine indicates that the brand remains independent, that of the Hanse group announces that it is planned in the future the purchase of the Privilège à Privilège Marine brand by Hanse Yachts, with retrocession of a licence in return.

In any event, synergies should be found between the two shipyards. Components of the Privilège catamarans, currently subcontracted, could be produced in Germany by Hanse.

Privilège Marine will benefit from the power of the Hanse Group's worldwide distribution network. Gilles Wagner, CEO of Privilège is delighted. "HanseYachts is much more important than Privilege and has a global presence. Our customers, like us, will benefit in particular from the network of distributors, firmly anchored throughout the world. Therefore, we are very much looking forward to working together with HanseYachts."

Feeling's future to be determined

The sailboat brand Feeling, owned by Privilège Marine, also joins the Aurelius range. When asked about the future of these integral dinghies, which could complement Hanse keelboats, the yard confirmed that the brand was part of the takeover, but that no additional information would be given to date.

HanseYachts delists from Frankfurt Stock Exchange

Monday, March 4th, 2024

Written by: Marine Industry News

HanseYachts will end trading of its shares on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, after closing the first half of its current financial year with record figures.

The German boatbuilding group says the move will further increase its profitability. The measure, proposed by the HanseYachts AG management board, has the full support of the Aurelius Group, which is the company’s major majority shareholder with a stake of 79.4 per cent of the share capital.

As part of the termination of trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, HY Beteiligungs GmbH, an Aurelius Group company, is offering the shareholders of HanseYachts AG to purchase the company’s shares at the weighted average domestic stock exchange price of the company’s shares over the last six months, as determined by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin).

“We are very pleased about this demonstration of confidence from our majority shareholder Aurelius and about the fact that the strong partnership with HanseYachts is to be further expanded with the purchase offer for the free float shares,” says Hanjo Runde, CEO of HanseYachts AG.

“At the same time, we expect to save more than half a million euros a year by cancelling the stock exchange listing and significantly relieve our administration of reporting obligations that do not contribute to HanseYachts’ profitability. We can now invest the valuable resources freed up by this step in the development of new yacht models and thus in strengthening and expanding our market position,”

In a statement, HanseYachts says that admission to trading on the regulated market is associated with ‘considerable unproductive financial and personnel burdens’ for the firm. These are said to include extensive reporting obligations and time-consuming publication requirements, as well as the effort involved in preparing the financial statements. The delisting will also streamline the auditing process, the company adds.

In January 2023, HanseYachts posted its 2021/22 financial results , showing extensive losses for the period, despite significant gains in turnover, and a record order book and production volume. The firm had increased its sales prices by around 30 per cent in the 12 months prior.

Sealine brand and 380 and 450 models sold to parent company of Hanse Group

Aurelius, which owns Hanse, picks up two models and Sealine brand out of administration

The future of Sealine lies overseas, it was revealed today, as a European investment company emerged as the buyer of the Sealine brand and its 380 and 450 models.

The company, Aurelius , described as a “pan-European investment holding” company, is also parent to Hanse Group , the German maker of Fjord motor boats and Hanse yachts .

Aurelius will continue to produce the Sealine 380 , formerly known as the SC35, and the S450 and F450 models overseas and under contract.

Another unnamed entity has picked up the 380 and 450 models that were in production as Sealine went under, and will finish them overseas, a statement from administrators Baker Tilly said.

The intellectual property for the remainder of the Sealine line-up – the F490, C490, T50 and T60 – remains up for grabs, although whoever buys them will not be able to brand them Sealines since the rights to the name have been bought by Aurelius.

The process to sell off the remaining plant, machinery, equipment and stock is now under way, after which the freehold premises in Kidderminster will be sold as well.

Sealine fell into administration in April with the extent of the company’s financial problems revealed in a recent creditors’ report.

The yard made a pre-tax loss of £10 million in the 15 months to March 31, 2013, and it has been reported that creditors are set to lose out on around £20 million still owed by the company, which includes around £1 million owed to staff.

It was also revealed that administrators received 64 expressions of interest from potential bidders and hosted 16 factory visits, although it’s not known how many offers for the yard were tabled.

Shipyard merger : Hanse buys catamaran manufacturer

Fridtjof Gunkel

 ·  18.05.2017

All previous owners have been replaced, but Managing Director Gilles Wagner remains in office and his shares remain unaffected. According to Aurelius, Privilège, based in Les Sables d'Olonne on the French Atlantic coast, will remain an independent brand. Hanseyachts wants to enter the rapidly growing catamaran market. A step that Bavaria Yachtbau has already taken with the takeover of Nautitech in La Rochelle.

Privilège is located in the upper segment of the catamaran market, both in terms of construction and the prices and sizes of the boats. The portfolio currently includes three sailing catamarans called Series 5, 6 and 7, which are 50, 64 and 74 feet long, as well as two large motor catamarans. The shipyard also owns the Feeling line, which used to be characterised by high-quality monohulls with canting keels. The brand had gone quiet, but there is a new construction project in the 13.90 metre length.

Hansegroup sees parallels with Privilège: both shipyards build owner's yachts that are sporty, luxurious and, above all, particularly seaworthy. The aim is to combine the expertise from the series production of yachts with the experience of Privilège to create one of the most successful luxury catamaran brands in the world. The production site in Les Sables is to be retained, as the sheer width of the boats in Greifswald would not allow them to be manufactured in the existing facilities. However, it is being examined whether certain preliminary products such as furniture or inner shells could be manufactured in Greifswald.

With the acquisition of Privilège by Hanse, all three major manufacturers now have a catamaran mainstay. Beneteau/Jeanneau pursues a similar multi-brand strategy with its Lagoon catamarans and is also the market leader in the multihull segment. The Hanse Group now offers seven brands: the Hanse, Dehler, Moody and Varianta sailing yacht ranges, the Fjord and Sealine motorboats and now also the Privilège catamarans.
