en.Wedoany.com Reported - Inflatable sailboat manufacturer Tiwal has successfully deployed its products on the world's largest sailing yacht, the Orient Express Corinthian, offering guests maritime activity experiences. The 220-meter yacht, launched in April this year in Saint-Nazaire, built by Chantiers de l'Atlantique and operated by Accor, is currently in its first Mediterranean season, with plans to sail to the Adriatic Sea, cross the Atlantic in autumn, and spend the winter in the Caribbean. Tiwal stated that the yacht sector now accounts for nearly 20% of its annual revenue, reflecting the growing demand for guest activity equipment in the luxury hospitality market.
Tiwal will provide four inflatable sailboats for guests on the yacht, allowing them to sail independently and explore anchorages during stopovers. The company noted that this partnership reflects a broader trend in the yacht and luxury hospitality sectors, where operators are seeking activity programs that can be quickly deployed under limited storage space and logistical conditions.
Emmanuel Bertrand, President and Co-founder of Tiwal, said that seeing the company's sailboats on the world's largest sailing yacht is a source of immense pride for the entire team. He believes this partnership perfectly embodies the company's goal: to make sailing accessible everywhere, from the most remote beaches to the world's most prestigious vessels.
Founded by industrial designer Marion Excoffon, Tiwal specializes in designing and manufacturing inflatable sailboats. These boats can be assembled in about 20 minutes and transported in a small car or on a cruising yacht. The company has an international customer base, with over 3,400 sailboats sailing in approximately 55 countries, and about 80% of sales coming from exports. Its products are used across Lake Titicaca in Peru, San Francisco Bay, New Zealand, Comoros, Namibia, Hong Kong, and various locations in Europe.
