Learn How BENETEAU Builds Boats and More

At BENETEAU’s manufacturing facility, builders thoroughly test all materials that go into our boats both individually and collectively to ensure the highest quality result. One example of this is the resin, which helps to maintain strength and structure on boats over time.

At BENETEAU’s manufacturing facility, builders thoroughly test all materials that go into our boats both individually and collectively to ensure the highest quality result. One example of this is the resin, which helps to maintain strength and structure on boats over time.

Special formulation vinyl ester resin is used on the decks and hulls throughout construction, and continually testing ensures that it’s suitable for the processes and materials the process utilizes it for and with. BENETEAU has tested resin for its resistance to water intrusion through osmosis.

The materials incorporated are only part of the equation. Another significant part is the process is how materials are applied and used. At BENETEAU, resin is used in the three different construction methods for building boat hulls and decks: hand lay-up, resin infusion, and injection modeling.

 

The Woodworking Facility

Regardless of where they’re built, all BENETEAU boats receive their wood parts from a single dedicated facility in France. This facility combines technology and handcraftsmanship to create a long-lasting interior that is both attractive and efficient to produce.

This woodworking facility is the secret to why BENETEAU can sell both powerboats and sailboats for significantly less than other builders. While interior woodwork on boats often takes a lot of time to build, BENETEAU has created the ability to replicate a variety of wood types at a lower cost. This unique and specialized wood product is resistant to warping, appears perfectly uniform, and imitates other wood types at a much lower cost.
