The founder is French, the headquarters are in Switzerland, and the boats are built in Tunisia, in Sousse. Visionary is its conception, the brainchild of Jean Sommereux: already the name Cataruga Tortue 147 tells a lot:
“The reference to turtles is certainly not accidental,” Joanna Sommereux, Jean’s daughter and the brand’s communications manager, explained to us. we did not want to make a project marked by the pursuit of speed, but rather by the idea of safety, autonomy and direct relationship with nature. The turtle carries its home with it … and Tortue 147 really wants to be a boat-home, to travel the world “.
Tortue 147 (the number is a reference to its length, 14.7 meters) is made entirely of aluminum and, more like a castle than a house, thanks to its “multilevel” and totally unexpected “multi-level” exterior and interior layout (three cabins, nine beds, two bathrooms), different from what is currently seen on the market.
