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.
