Kirie

The Kirié shipyard was founded by the Kirié family in 1915,

Originally, the yard built small wooden pleasure craft.
In the 50s, production shifted to motorboats. In the '60s, the founder's son was a keen competitor, racing many times in the “Six heures de Paris”.

At the end of the 60s, the shipyard expanded and moved to Château d'Olonne near Les Sables d'Olonne.
It was one of the first shipyards to work with polyester, and very early on launched motor fishing cruisers, the “Anges de mer”, and sailing fishing cruisers, the “Fifty”.

In 2000, Alliaura Marine took over the Kirié shipyard and continued to develop the superb Feeling range.

However, in 2012, Alliaura Marine went bankrupt, putting an end to production of Feeling yachts.
