The boats of Picardy: punts and horn boats

With more than 12 years of know-how, we have worked on many types of traditional boats. We can now offer you flats of the sum and boats of the hortillonnages of Amiens built in the rules of the Art.

Plate of the Somme valley, Cornet boat and other boats from Picardy

The boat of the hortillonnages of Amiens and the plate of the Somme

The cornet boat, a pretty Picardy boat originating from the Somme valley, owes its name to its elongated and raised end. This makes it easy to dock on the banks. Very popular for centuries in the hortillonnages of Amiens or on the water markets, we can still come across them today in this preserved marsh, where it is still used for guided tours.

Construction of horn boats and punts: boat makers perpetuate Picardy traditions

Our workshop, attached to regional traditions, always builds this type of boat, just like the classic flat from the Somme. This one is, in turn, characterized by its front end, flat and square. This unique shape allows you to dock on low banks without difficulty.

This boat is perfect for family outings, for hunters or fishermen wishing to travel in ponds or any wetland.

Dimensions of our boats in Picardy

We offer two models for the platform: – One 4 m long allowing easy transport of 3 people – The other 5 m, allowing 5 or 6 people to sail. Easy to handle, the platform can be used with paddles or oars, or even a motor (from 2 to 5 horsepower). Whether you are an individual or a professional, passionate about fishing, hunting or nature walks along the water, we will be able to realize your projects and dreams!
