Every year, for a full week, BENETEAU organizes press trials of the new boats of the year.
The next press trials will take place in La Ciotat (France) from 5th - 9th March 2012.
This unique arrangement was set up to meet the expectations of journalists perfectly: a dozen boats to test in pleasant surroundings, speedboats made available for taking photo shoots, as well as the mobilization of the Beneteau teams, particularly those in charge of developing the boats. There is a very open frame of mind and freedom to investigate at these special occasions.
2012 Sea trials - The international press invited to La Ciotat.
The 8th Beneteau Global Press Sea Trials has just come to an end! It was held between 5 and 9 March at La Ciotat.
9 boats were available to test: 4 sailing yachts and 5 motor boats. The Star among the boats, with the largest number of trials, was the Barracuda 9, tested by 48 magazines! Among the sailing yachts, the Sense 55 holds the record, with 41 tests!
On the whole, 57 magazines from all over the world (specialized European, Chinese, Russian, and Australian Press, etc.) came to test these new boats. We are greatly obliged to the 90 journalists who came to test our boats, and look forward to seeing the sailing industry magazines in the next few months!
