DOUCE FRANCE (42.2m / 138.5ft), affectionately dubbed “The Gentle Giant,” is one of the world’s most distinguished charter catamarans. Built by Alu Marine in 1998 and designed by Peteghen & Lauriot Prevost, she underwent a major 2009 refit to meet SOLAS and Bureau Veritas Category 3 standards, blending unmatched space, timeless elegance, and bluewater performance. With mahogany and rosewood interiors, 360° panoramic saloon views, and 6 luxurious staterooms for 12 guests, she redefines catamaran luxury. Her 9.5-knot cruising speed (20-knot peaks) and global cruising range make her ideal for transoceanic adventures or island-hopping indulgence.
