Our history
Born from the meeting of the maritime and jewelry worlds, Kiade Maquettes shares with you the spirit of dreams and escapism that the sea conveys so well. For more than 20 years, we have developed numerous partnerships with prestigious shipyards such as Riva, Chris Craft, Bénéteau, Jeanneau, etc. We work in close collaboration with them, using the original plans to obtain models that are very faithful to the original boats. To build these exceptional models, we have only one requirement: quality. Whether they're replicas of Italian or American runabouts, legendary sailing yachts or modern-day pleasure boats, our models will make you dream.
As the exclusive official manufacturer for a number of boatyards, including Riva, Chris Craft, Bénéteau, Jeanneau, Prestige Yachts and Mangusta, we have each of our models validated by these builders, which is undoubtedly the best guarantee of quality.
Certified quality
Each model produced in our workshop undergoes stringent quality controls, based on precise, demanding criteria, throughout the entire production process. A "Kiade Maquettes Certificate of Authenticity", issued with each model, guarantees that it has been built :
- from original plans
- by hand (planking, fittings, saddlery and sails) by our specialized jewelers and craftsmen
- from noble materials (exotic woods, mahogany, brass, chrome-plated brass, marine saddlery)
- according to a unique manufacturing process (sanding, varnishing and fittings)
- with quality control throughout construction and before shipping.
