Open and Hardtop, the new motor yachts designed by BENETEAU mark a milestone in comfort and driving sensations. Their design has a Mediterranean look.
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 !
The sea is your playground. Seaworthy, safe and powerful, the Barracuda is a sport fisher full of character. The four outboarders of this range have a cleverly designed deck plan. The quantity and quality of their fishing equipment, and the comfort they offer on board, make them perfect for the demanding owner. Most definitely a winning range !
Outboard
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.
INBOARD
A boat that brings people together – reassuring and quintessential. From the cockpit to the wheelhouse, the living space on board an Antares is always surprising. The motor cruiser range has won recognition for the shape of its hulls that withstand the test of time and make safe passage through all seas.
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.
Our search for excellence resulted in BENETEAU’s premium range. Inspired by the Monte Carlo Yacht, the five motor cruisers are characterized by their magnificent hull, timeless elegance, detailed crafting and top quality finishes. Monte Carlo now stands apart as a hallmark of style, power and luxury.
