Figaro Nautisme is an entity of the Figaro group created at the initiative of METEO CONSULT in 2012. From the beginning, Figaro Nautisme has operated a website entirely dedicated to sea enthusiasts. Since then, Figaro Nautisme's activities have diversified with the acquisition of Bloc Marine, the reference book for boaters, the launch of the first Figaro Nautisme Special Editions in 2018, and more recently, the creation of the Bloc Marine mobile app.
