The first BENETEAU boats sailed from the shipyards of Croix-de-Vie over 135 years ago. Since that time, the brand has been synonymous with quality and innovation to all those who have taken to the water – first by the fishermen who made their livelihood from the sea and then by the legions of recreational boaters around the globe.
Over the years, BENETEAU’S commitment to innovating and embracing ideas, no matter how unconventional, has been at the forefront of who they are to bring you the best boats possible. BENETEAU was one of the first boatbuilders many years ago to use computer-aided design (CAD) as well as lighter, stronger composite building materials. They’ve also been at the cutting edge of using greener materials and processes to do their part in protecting the world we love to explore. However, all this innovation doesn’t mean they’ve turned their back on tradition. One thing they’ve discovered in over a century of boatbuilding is that new-world innovations work best with old-school craftsmanship. This combination has resulted in some of the most iconic sailboats and powerboats in the world – supremely seaworthy yachts renowned for their sense of style, luxury, and comfort along with their creative use of space and new technologies.
Every BENETEAU sailboat and powerboat on the water reflects the best efforts of the finest architects, designers, and craftsmen along with the highest quality materials and the latest innovations. When you purchase a BENETEAU, you become a valued member of the BENETEAU family. For this reason, BENETEAU’S after-sale service is second to none as evidenced by the multitude of National Marine Manufacturers CSI Awards for Excellence in Customer Service.
The Figaro BENETEAU 3 is the first production foiling one-design monohull ever to grace the seas. A distillation of technology and innovation, the Figaro BENETEAU 3 is the result of a collaboration between BENETEAU and Van Peteghem Lauriot-Prévost, the architects of the last two Vendée Globe winners.
