Beneteau to showcase extensive range including three new models

Beneteau is gearing up to unveil three new models at the 2012 PSP Southampton Boat Show as part of the extensive power and sail range it will be exhibiting from 14 to 23 September.

 

Beneteau is taking over an entire pontoon to showcase its inboard and outboard powerboat ranges, as well as offering a large hospitality suite. This will effectively create an on-­the-­water Beneteau village of 14 powerboats on display.

 

The sailing yachts will be on land and will consist of 9 boats and will include the new Sense 46, expanding the popular Sense range. This new addition will give keen sailors the choice between four unique models (43’, 46', 50' and 55') providing an intelligently designed, comfortable cruising monohull.

 

Extending its fishing range, Beneteau will also be launching its Barracuda 7, the latest addition to the successful Barracuda brand, which has raised the bar for sport fishing vessels since its launch last year. The Barracuda range has been well received by recreational fishermen around the world from the fjords of Northern Europe, to the Mediterranean and the US coasts.

 

Beneteau will also continue its revolution of the trawler segment of the market with the launch of the Swift Trawler 50. Created in 2003, the Swift Trawler redefined the concept of the traditional trawler. Beneteau gave careful consideration to life onboard and style, in addition to performance and energy efficiency. Ten years after the launch of the initial four models from 34’ to 52’ and their subsequent success, the Beneteau Trawler 50 will also be on display at the Southampton Boat Show.

 

The range on display will include a number of the Beneteau powerboats used at the London 2012 Olympic Games. As an official supplier to LOCOG (the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games), Beneteau provided a fleet of 23 boats worth over£4 million to accommodate referees, journalists, organisers and VIPs including royalty during the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

 

“We’re looking forward to showcasing the Beneteau range at the PSP Southampton Boat Show including some of our Olympic legacy fleet and three exciting new models in the sail, fishing and trawler sectors. It will provide an excellent opportunity to see our quality boats in one venue, and our team is proud to be exhibiting such a great selection of popular models,” François Renault, UK Sales Manager, Beneteau, said.

 

The Beneteau power and sail range can be viewed at the PSP Southampton Boat Show in the Beneteau village pontoon, on berths M419/M431 and on land at stand number F016.
