A former Île d'Yeu ferry, moored at the Bassins à Flot in Bordeaux from September 2011. The name stood for Intelligent Boat. A listing gives 400 for the club room and a Funktion-One system, which is an unusual thing to find in a ship's hull. For fourteen years it was the serious place to hear electronic music in Bordeaux, independent and adventurous in its booking, and it was already under a court-approved recovery plan when things went wrong. On the night of 15 to 16 November 2025, after the France against Fiji match, there was a sexual and verbal assault at the venue. On 15 January 2026 the prefect of Gironde ordered a two-month administrative closure, and on 27 January the Conseil d'État refused to suspend it. With no income and costs still running, the boat declared itself unable to pay. The Bordeaux commercial court ordered judicial liquidation on 11 February 2026. About 21 people lost their jobs. No buyer has been reported.
