It all started with Charles Baudouin creating a small, petrol-fueled canoe engine that would later be
marked in history as the first official ‘Baudouin engine’.

World War. The ringing of bells was replaced with the whirring of engine motors. Today, the brand is
reckoned as a dominating force in the world of marine propulsion.
