Beneteau YachtsBeneteau tradition starts in
1884, when Benjamin Beneteau, shipwright,
founds the Beneteau boatyard at
Croix-de-Vie, France to build sailing
trawlers. In that same year, the first
Beneteau boats are put to sea. Three
generations later, the passion lives on as
Madame Annette Beneteau Roux, Benjamin's
granddaughter, steers the company soundly
into the next century.
Designed by
Andre' Mauric in 1978, the First 30 was the
beginning of Beneteau's very successful
First series. The First 30 was chosen Boat
of the Year at the Paris Boat Show and won
the first leg of the Figaro Single-Handed
Race.
In 1986 Beneteau crosses the
Atlantic and opens a production facility in
Marion, South Carolina. Within four years,
Beneteau is one of the top three sailboat
manufacturers in America.
