THIS IS OUR STORY
HOW IT BEGAN
At a young age in Belgium, Guy PAPILLON found a natural connection to the boating world through his father, Marc PAPILLON, the founder of POLYMAC MARINE in 1961.
Marc was an innovator in composite shipbuilding and a successful importer of several well-known boat brands. Marc’s early sudden death changed everything, but by that time the family bond with the water was permanent.

Guy's beloved father
1940 - 1985
ABOUT US
For six decades, the name PAPILLON has stood for great yacht service and developed a rich knowledge of mechanical and technical skills with several famous boat manufacturers.
If you can turn your hobby into a job, you'll never have to work a day in your life. This, along with my love for my family & yachts, is what drives me to do this together.
Therefore, it is not surprising that we take over in 2020. Canelli Company is a family owned and operated business located in Italy, uses the most advanced construction techniques, combined with the newest technology available.
