Building unique boats so you can make the most of your free time. That was always the brief, and it still is.
An Avalon does not come off an assembly line. Every hull is hand-laid in fiberglass, with an exclusive double-gelcoat system that keeps fiber print-through to a minimum and holds the finish over the years. No wood or plywood goes into any structural part: the point where moisture starts to win is simply removed.
What you see — the stainless hardware, the dashboard, the upholstery, the wiring — is chosen with the same care as what you don't. It is the difference between a boat that gets delivered and one that is still in use twenty years later.
The models
From 6.80 to 7.50 meters. Open, cuddy, or both at once. All share full FRP construction and the same finish.
Open bow and a cuddy with head in the same boat
The most agile of the range. Cuddy cabin with portable toilet, interior lighting and a 1.95 m diagonal berth, without giving up the open bow.
formerly Avalon 230
The largest cockpit in its class
Built for long days with people on board. Table and backrests that convert into a bed, a swim-platform shower and a double swim platform with telescopic ladder.
formerly Avalon 240 Open
An open boat that is still a cuddy
The flagship. Fold-out side terraces take the beam from 2.65 to 3.50 meters at anchor, with inboard power up to 350 HP.

Layout is the most important design decision on a boat this size: where people sit, how they move around, what stays free when the boat is at anchor.
The craft
Four construction decisions made before the boat takes shape, and that cannot be corrected afterwards.
Fiberglass laid by hand, layer by layer. Full construction in reinforced plastic, with no compromise joints.
Two layers of gelcoat that minimize fiber print-through. It is why the shine lasts.
No structural part contains wood. Moisture damage, the classic problem in boating, is eliminated at the root.
From the hardware to the breaker panel: components selected to last, not just to pass delivery.

Our story
It all starts as a personal project: building a boat of one's own. The Avalon X3 Elite, five meters long, takes five years of work. Friends joked it was like building the Titanic. The result was a boat with an obsession for detail that the boatyard never managed to shake off.
The X3 Elite reaches the market and doesn't stop: more than 450 units sold and exports to Germany, Greece, Australia, Brazil and Paraguay. A year later comes the X3 Sport. The boatyard stops being a one-person project.
Zonda 225, Boreal 235 and Siroco 250. The scale changed, not the way things are done: hand lay-up, double gelcoat and components chosen one by one. Still built at Carmen de Areco 1633, Tigre.
Heritage
Some models were renamed as they evolved. This is how the previous names map to the current range.
The boatyard's first model, a 5-meter boat. More than 450 units sold. No direct equivalent in the current range, which starts with the 6.80 m Zonda 225.
A sport version derived from the X3 Elite. No direct equivalent either: the current range starts with the 6.80 m Zonda 225.
Evolved and renamed in 2026 as the Boreal 235, the 7.10 m boat with the largest cockpit in its class.
Evolved into the Siroco 250, 7.50 m, with cuddy and fold-out side terraces.
