Beneteau Power & Sailboats
Beneteau Power & Sailboats
In 1884, Benjamin Beneteau founded the Beneteau boatyard at Croix-de-Vie, France to build sailing trawlers. In that same year, the first Beneteau boats were put to sea. 80 years later, in 1964, Annette Benneteau Roux and her brother, Andre' Beneteau, diversified the company with the introduction of fiberglass sailing yachts. With the introduction of the Fletan and the Guppy, Beneteau took part in the 1965 Paris Boat Show for the first time, and its reputation for building seaworthy pleasure boats grew.
As demand grew internationally, Beneteau opened a state-of-the-art production facility in Marion, South Carolina in 1986. Within four years, Beneteau was one of the top three sailboat manufacturers in America.
