Beneteau boats in Minorca
1884-2024: Beneteau Group, 140 years of nautical innovation
«It all began in 1884 in Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, in Vendée (France), a small fishing village on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. Benjamin Bénéteau built fishing boats there, with the aim of being faster and faster to reach port first,” recalls Gianguido Girotti, General Director of the Boats Division, Groupe Beneteau. “His visionary influence was later passed on to her granddaughter, Annette Roux, who went on to define the modern concept of recreational boating. As a pioneer, she combined know-how with the mass production of boats to make recreational boating accessible and distribute it throughout the world.
Over the decades, the Group has experienced notable growth thanks to the successive contributions of prestigious brands: Jeanneau, Prestige, Lagoon, Excess, Delphia, Four Winns and Wellcraft. All of them have contributed to enriching the group’s offering, which now has 8,000 employees around the world.
This evolution has gone hand in hand with the launch of an environmental sustainability program over the last ten years. For Gianguido Girotti, we have a kind of obsession with guaranteeing respect and protection of our navigation area, the water. The Group’s sustainable approach is based on an analysis of the life cycle of its different types of vessels and navigation activities, in order to offer solutions with an efficient impact. Our stated ambition is to reduce CO2 emissions by 30% by 2030.”

From 5 to 10 metres
A stylish day-boat with a unique concept of one Air-Step® hull for a choice of two different deck plans, the Flyer is a distillation of technology. The SPACEdeck and SUNdeck , with spacious models between 5 and 9 metres, are undoubtedly an achievement in terms of design. Let the fun begin!
Antares
From 5 to 11 metres
A classic pilothouse boat for short cruises that will never go out of fashion. These fisher cruisers are safe and highly seaworthy thanks to a flared hull, and they enjoy the performance you only get from an outboard engine. The four outboard Antares are well-known for their cosy interiors and level of equipment, making them a joy to own and a best seller range.
Gran Turismo

Streamlined and sporty, the Gran Turismo offers great sensations. Open to the sea and yet well-protected, the range’s four sport cruisers boast technological features uniting the joy of cruising and exceptional performance. The Gran Turismo looks great, has quality fittings and attractive trims. In a nutshell she is elegant and positively trendy!
Swift Trawler
From 11 to 13 metres
The range that reinvents the Trawler concept. A boat with a cruising pedigree that has left tradition behind to win in speed, autonomy and intelligent design. Very seaworthy, extremely safe and comfortable, the four Beneteau Swift Trawlers are cut out for long ocean adventures.
