Riviera Yachting NETWORK
Riviera Yachting NETWORK was created in September 2000 on the initiative of about fifteen companies active in the maritime industry sector. Little by little, adapting to the positioning of its members, this network has concentrated its activity around the yachting sector (Professional Yachting).
Since its creation, it has remained attentive to its members and to the structuring progress of this sector of activity on a regional scale with a view to establishing itself as an interface between the companies it represents and the institutional world. In 2007, the network was awarded the Regional Pole of Innovation and Solidarity Economic Development (PRIDES) "Grande Plaisance" label, after having obtained from the State the label of Local Productive System in 2005 and in 2011 the label "Cluster of companies". Riviera Yachting NETWORK is today the unavoidable interface between the companies it represents and the institutional world. It brings together more than 80 companies from the PACA region in the refit/repair/maintenance sector and services dedicated to yachts.
