Towards responsible and innovative navigation
The new boating experiences offer a more intimate, more environmentallyfriendly experience that is just as immersive as ever. In 2024, Groupe Beneteau launched a number of new products inviting travellers to enjoy new maritime experiences, combining cutting-edge technology and a connection with the ocean.
Excess 14: a new design combining comfort, sensations and efficiency
With its comfortable, modular living spaces and warm, bright interior design, the Excess 14 focuses on an enjoyable and unique cruising experience. Naval architects and navigation experts have reduced the ship’s weight by opting for new construction materials and lighter interior fittings. The result: an elegant, stateof- the-art hull design that delivers superior stability, reduced drag and a weight saving of at least one tonne compared to other cruising catamarans of similar size.
Swift Trawler 54: comfort and autonomy on board
Customer experience and sustainability are at the heart of the Swift Trawler 54, a new model unveiled in 2024. Made up of eighteen solar panels and lithium batteries, it gives customers an on-board range of eight hours. The latest electric rudder plank stabilisers provide excellent stability and 360-degree control. The shape of the hull reduces fuel consumption while sailing, while ensuring excellent manoeuvrability and comfort.
Four Winns TH36: an innovative foiling catamaran
In 2024, Groupe Beneteau launched the foiling Four Winns TH36, offering sailors a smooth, cushioned ride and unrivalled stability thanks to a protected foil between the two hulls. Thanks to its naval architecture, this multihull reduces drag, cutting fuel consumption by 20%. A further commitment by the Group to sustainability and to reducing its CO2 emissions.
"I'd already had the opportunity to try out the TH36 in its 'normal' version, but the Foil assistance really impressed me this time. It completely changes the way the boat handles at sea, offering vastly improved stability and manoeuvrability." Stéphanie DE LOUSTAL - Motorboat journalist
Twelve new sensors for Seanapps
Dedicated to the monitoring and predictive maintenance of its boats, the Seanapps app launched by Groupe Beneteau in 2019 continues to develop. To enhance safety and comfort on board and reduce the environmental footprint of boats, it has added a new range of twelve sensors giving users real-time access to more information about their boat (energy performance, access points, temperature, humidity, etc.).
over 10,000 boats are already equipped with Seanapps.
The Group’s ambition is to equip 20,000 boats by 2025, making it the largest connected fleet in the world.
