OUR MISSION
Bord à Bord is a Breton aluminium shipyard founded in 2001 and relaunched in 2019, building fully customised electric and hybrid aluminium vessels up to 24 metres for professional operators, river tourism, and commercial services. Every boat is fabricated in Brittany using short supply chains, with 98% of aluminium waste recycled on-site. The ZenRiver electric barge represents their flagship offering for inland waterway operators.
WHY BAB BOAT
Welded aluminium hulls offer exceptional durability, impact resistance, and a long service life with minimal structural maintenance — critical for commercial passenger and work-boat applications.
The 100% electric ZenRiver combines solar panels, 230V shore charging, and a fully electric drivetrain to deliver silent, zero-emission navigation on rivers and canals with practical autonomy.
Every Bord à Bord vessel is designed and built to the customer's specific operational requirements, with in-house teams covering naval architecture, electrical engineering, carpentry, and finishing.
