July is Sun Safe Boating Month, serving as a reminder to protect skin and eyes from the sun while boating. Consider keeping spare sunblock, sunglasses, and hats aboard your BENETEAU to ensure you can enjoy sun and surf for years to come.

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.

Welcome aboard SV Freya, this is QP and Willard. Thank You very much for joining us on our adventures, and a special thanks to our patrons on Patreon.com/svfreya You all know how much QP loves to play dress up and model. Well, her new friend enjoys playing also. The girls packed a bunch of outfits to wear for a photo session on shore. They didn’t even make it off the dock before changing into their traditional Chinese clothes. They are not sure of which period these outfits were popular, but they are an ancient style, maybe Han or Tang. The black and white outfit is for practicing Kung Fu. QP liked this one best! It was difficult taking photos of both girls as they ran around dancing and play fighting. Being a new model, she was having a hard time doing a hair flip. Hopefully, we will have another chance in the water. The modeling continued after a wardrobe change into more modern dresses. QP is sorting those photos now and will post them maybe tomorrow.
