About Bénéteau

The Bénéteau shipyard was born thanks to the passion of Benjamin Bénéteau in 1884 in Croix-de-Vie, today Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, a French commune located in the department of Vendée, in the region of the Pays de la Loire.

At the beginning of its activity, Bénéteau produced “chalutier” sailboats, or fishing boats, and then, in the following years, it expanded the production to motorboats, also for fishing.

It was in the 1960s that the third generation of the family decided to enter the “pleasure boats” market, introducing the innovative polyester as a construction material.

In the ‘80s, for its centenary, the shipyard reached the world leadership in the construction of sailboats. Tradition, evolution, innovation. Three core points that always represented the vision of the French shipyard.
