History of Beneteau

The first boats were built on the quays of Croix-de-Vie in Vendee, France, then came a building, a boat yard, and the rest as we say is history! Using the latest in technologies, maintaining high values of performance, modernity, safety and relying on the pioneering spirit of Benjamin Beneteau permeating throughout the company, Beneteau has gone from strength to strength now employing 2,500 workers, with over 100,000 Beneteau yachts sailing the seas. They are proving more popular with keen owners and many a bareboat charter will be on a Beneteau yacht not just here off Vancouver island, but worldwide!
