Beneteau is a French manufacturer of sailing and motorboats with manufacturing facilities in France and the United States.
Also, their production sites are located in Italy, Poland, and Portugal.
Beneteau has been leading its history since the distant 1884. It was then that Benjamin Beneteau founded a company that built fishing boats. In 1912, under this brand, the first small boat with a motor appeared. And 1964 was a turning point in the history of the company; it was then that the first fiberglass model was created at the Beneteau shipyard.
The company currently owns 12 brands. The company offers 180 models of recreational boats to suit the diverse navigational needs and uses of its customers, from sailboats to powerboats, monohulls and catamarans. Gradually acquiring new shipyards (Jeanneau, CNB, Lagoon, Wauquiez), Beneteau grows and turns into a group of companies – Beneteau Group. They also produce trawler yachts with Yamaha engines.
Trawler yachts are a very specific group. They began to build them en masse in the middle of the 20th century, at first converting them mainly from fishing vessels, from which the name of the type came. After the refit, the trawler yachts retained their high seaworthiness: buoyancy, stability, and ability to move on a wave, while the layout of the living quarters and interiors were subjected to alteration without a big change in appearance.
And after a while, such ships began to be built by the Beneteau group of companies. She has a rich history. Starting in 1884 with wooden sailing fishing trawlers, a small shipyard in the west of France in 1912 was already producing motor boats and also fishing (primarily for catching tuna). Since 1964, the shipyard has been building not only fishing boats but also yachts for recreation and sports, and in 2003, the Beneteau brand launched trawler yachts of the Swift Trawler line.
To date, the company Beneteau (Benet) – is the largest European manufacturer of yachts and boats. In France, Beneteau has 40% of the yacht market, and 25% in Europe. Today, more than 36,000 BENETEAU motor yachts sail the seas and oceans. Their owners and captains value quality, modernity, comfort, and safety.
