The History of Hydraunautic, from Hydraulic Engineering to Onboard Innovation

Hydraunautic

Since 2012, Hydraunautic has been designing custom hydraulic solutions to meet the most demanding technical challenges onboard.

Our expertise revolves around three major areas: precision steering, maneuver optimization and intelligent effort centralization.

From advanced steering systems to ready-to-install maneuvering kits, up to the complete development of onboard hydraulic architectures, Hydraunautic implements high-precision engineering, combining rigor, agility, and innovation.

In 2021, Hydraunautic was acquired by Hélène and Benoît Chatillon and relocated from Bordeaux to Canet-en-Roussillon, at the heart of a rapidly developing maritime ecosystem.
This relocation is accompanied by a strategic restructuring and investments in production and quality control.

In 2024, the creation of Tenderlift Group marks a key milestone: Hydraunautic and Tenderlift unite their expertise to offer a comprehensive range of onboard solutions, combining precision hydraulics and custom mechanics.

Together, the two brands form a center of excellence dedicated to nautical innovation.

Tenderlift

Founded in 2001, Tenderlift specializes in the design of high-end lifting platforms for catamarans.

A benchmark in the multihull sector, the brand stands out for its functional design and the reliability of its mechanical systems designed for onboard comfort.

Each project is developed in close collaboration with shipyards and architects, to integrate harmoniously with the boat’s lines and structure.

Tenderlift Group

Founded in 2024, Tenderlift Group structures the synergies between Hydraunautic and Tenderlift.

This merger gives rise to an expert hub for onboard solutions, capable of operating at all levels of nautical architecture: from hydraulics to mechanics, from standard systems to custom engineering.

A common dynamic, driven by innovation, precision, and technical excellence.
