Since 1884, Benjamin Beneteau and today the Beneteau Group have continued to innovate, transform and conquer new markets for a universal mission: to make dreams on the water accessible to as many people as possible: “Bringing dreams to water”.
The sea, a place where we dare to dream, where we dare to spread our sails, guided by a passion for discovery and a thirst for adventure.
A dream where the sea is no longer an obstacle but a path to humility and respect for others and nature.
Celebrating its 140th anniversary means looking to the future without forgetting its roots.
Celebrating its 140th anniversary means celebrating the talent of the Group’s 7,200 employees worldwide at 18 production sites, and highlighting their expertise and the complementary nature of our teams.
It also means recalling the strength of each brand in the Group’s success and mission.
It was an ideal moment to express our thanks to our stakeholders, contributors to this success: our supplier partners, dealers, and, of course, our customers.
In celebrating our 140th anniversary, we highlighted the Group’s strengths and, above all, its ability to adapt to build the future and ensure its sustainability. Groupe Beneteau is built on a solid foundation (teams, stakeholders, projects, values) that is more focused than ever on tomorrow, and it is on this basis that we can look to build and navigate the future.
2024 was an opportunity to rediscover our history, our strengths and our commonalities, to share what has inspired us for four generations: our values of passion, transmission, conquest and audacity.
We are continuing our wonderful adventure by looking to the future, positioning ourselves as a key player in the nautical industry of tomorrow, focused on innovation and sustainability.
OUR ADVENTURE, A STORY WRITTEN WITH THE TEAMS’ PASSION
Thank you to the 7,200 men and women who grow the 18 Groupe Beneteau brands every day through its two divisions: Boat and Boating Solutions: Beneteau, Jeanneau, Prestige, Lagoon, Excess, Delphia, Four Winns, Wellcraft, Scarab, Band of Boats, SGB, Your Boat Club, Dream Yacht Charter, Navigare, Seanapps, Wiziboat, and Yacht Solutions.
Thank you also to each of the brands; they are the driving force behind the Group’s success both locally and internationally through our 23 production sites.
We are proud of the progress we’ve made since 1884; challenges and encounters have punctuated our history, and this is what has shaped who we are today.
We all embody the Group’s values: PASSION – TRANSMISSION – CONQUEST – AUDACITY
“May all those who were present to celebrate these 140 years keep these ancestral values, remain aware that whatever the operation they will have to carry out, that together they will create a work in which our client will place his trust to face the sea, an element which requires humility and respect.”
Annette Roux, President of the Beneteau Foundation.
