Beneteau
BENETEAU's story began in 1884 in Croix-de-Vie, in the West of France. That year, Benjamin BENETEAU
(1859-1928) decided to create the boatyard whose eponym would give birth to the first fishing boats. 130
years later, his visionary spirit is still central to BENETEAU's philosophy. His heritage is a unique vision of
sailing and a perpetual desire to innovate. BENETEAU conceives, designs and builds sailing yachts and
motorboats to match to everyone's sailing dreams. From the design office to the 400 dealers throughout the
world, 2,500 employees work to offer high-performing, safe, comfortable and elegant boats, together with
impeccable service. BENETEAU now has 80,000 owners on all the world's seas and ranks as a global
leader in the building of pleasure boats.
