NVMarine
NVMarine is a marine services company specialising in the maintenance and repair of recreational boats on the Hérault coastline. Founded in 2008 by Nicolas Verdu, the company has built a strong reputation through versatile craftsmanship and in-depth knowledge of different boat types — sailboats, rigid inflatables, motor cruisers and fishing boats.
The company operates across the entire Hérault coastline — from Port-Camargue to Frontignan via Le Grau-du-Roi, La Grande-Motte, Carnon, Palavas-les-Flots and Sète. This wide geographic coverage allows boat owners to benefit from a local service, directly dockside or on hardstanding, without having to move their boat to a boatyard.
With over 30 years of experience in the marine sector, Nicolas Verdu has mastered every trade involved in boat maintenance: outboard and inboard mechanics, marine electrics, composite repair and lamination, antifouling, gelcoat polishing and buffing, full cleaning, and hull and deck painting. This rare versatility means all work can be entrusted to a single professional, simplifying coordination and ensuring consistent quality across every job.
NVMarine works exclusively with professional-grade parts and products sourced from trusted suppliers in the marine industry. Every job follows a rigorous protocol — from initial diagnosis through to recommissioning — to ensure lasting and reliable results. The company services all major marine engine brands: Mercury, Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki and Tohatsu for outboards; Volvo Penta, Yanmar and Mercruiser for inboards.
All of our services are available across the seven ports in our coverage area. Whether your boat is moored at Port-Camargue, Le Grau-du-Roi, La Grande-Motte, Carnon, Palavas-les-Flots, Sète or Frontignan, NVMarine travels to carry out the work on site. This mobility is a major advantage for boat owners who want regular, professional maintenance without the logistical hassle of moving to a boatyard.
NVMarine supports boat owners year-round — from spring launch to autumn lay-up. The company offers tailored guidance for each boat type and owner's usage, whether it's occasional family outings or regular sailing. Regular, well-planned maintenance preserves the value of your boat, ensures your safety at sea and prevents costly repairs.
