In de Griekse Cycladen ligt het eiland Naxos. En in het noorden vind je het kustdorp Apollonas, met de bekende witte huizen uit de Cycladen. En daar vlak achter, best wel verscholen, een marmergroeve uit de anieke oudheid. Want Naxos staat bekend om het marmer dat hier gedolven wordt en werd sinds de oudheid. Daar ligt een enorme, onvoltooide Kouros: een mannenbeeld uit de 6e eeuw v.Chr., uitgehouwen in Naxisch marmer, dat maar liefst elf meter lang is. Dit beeld wordt ook wel de Kolossus van Dionysus genoemd. Bij het hoofd zie je dat er scheuren in het marmer zitten en daarom is het beeld dat eigenlijk bijna af was, vermoedelijk hier achter gebleven. Voor ons in de 21ste eeuw een geluk, dat we dus zo’n beeld nog kunnen bewonderen!

Compact design, boundless possibilities. With a hard-chine hull and large, functional cockpit, the trailerable Oceanis 30.1 broadens your cruising potential from lake sailing to high sea adventures and everywhere in between. -- About BENETEAU -- The first BENETEAU boats sailed from the shipyards of Croix-de-Vie over 140 years ago. Since that time, the BENETEAU brand has been synonymous with quality and innovation to all those who have taken to the water – first by the fishermen who made their livelihood from the sea and then by the legions of recreational boaters around the globe. Over the years, our commitment to innovating and embracing ideas, no matter how unconventional, has been at the forefront of who we are in order to bring you the best boat possible. BENETEAU was one of the first boatbuilders many years ago to use computer-aided design (CAD) as well as lighter, stronger composite building materials. We’ve also been at the cutting edge of using greener materials and processes to do our part in protecting the incredible world which we explore. However, all this innovation doesn’t mean we’ve turned our back on tradition. One thing we’ve discovered in over a century of boatbuilding is that new-world innovations work best with old-school craftsmanship. This combination has resulted in some of the most iconic sailboats and powerboats in the world – supremely seaworthy yachts renowned for their sense of style, luxury, and comfort along with their creative use of space and new technologies. -- Philosophy -- We’re a lot like you. We love the water in all its forms – the ocean, bays, lakes, and rivers. And we love sharing the boating lifestyle with our family and friends. This love manifests itself in every BENETEAU built in any one of our many manufacturing facilities worldwide. Every BENETEAU sailboat and powerboat on the water reflects the best efforts of the finest architects, designers, and craftsmen along with the highest quality materials and the latest innovations. When you purchase a BENETEAU, you become a valued member of our BENETEAU family. For this reason, our after-sale service is second to none as evidenced by the multitude of National Marine Manufacturers CSI Awards for Excellence in Customer Service. At the core of this outstanding service is our exceptional dealer network. Every one of our authorized BENETEAU dealers will be there for you – from choosing the right yacht to the handover and beyond. Your dealer will be your able guide when it comes to maintaining your boat properly and will help you maximize the return on your investment when it comes time to step up to another BENETEAU – and it usually does! We wouldn’t have it any other way.
