Astus Boats

The ASTUSBOATS company was created by Jean-Hubert POMMOIS in 2004.

Wishing to design a boat meeting different practical use criteria, namely:

• a performing boat to have fun but which also allows to sail alone,
• easy to transport in order to enjoy different places,
• having a low cost of using and maintenance,
• a small cabin to shelter materials and the crew.

The concept of the transportable trimaran appeared as the best compromise. Astus 20.1 was born. After having manufactured two prototypes, one of them being exhibited in La Rochelle (France) in 2004, some demand was noticeable.

To meet this demand and being concerned about aesthetic and production, polyester was rapidly chosen to manufacture the moulds. The present and definitive version of Astus 20.1 appeared therefore in Summer 2005. The first year, 7 boats went out the boatyards ASTUSBOATS.

Today about 70 of them are sailing in France and abroad. We rapidly had to set up a distributors network, in general passionate customers like Jean-Marc SCHWARTZ showing implication and motivation to the development of Astus.
