7 BENETEAU OPENS SEA TRIAL CENTRE

Potential Beneteau customers will soon be able to test drive a wide range of the French yard’s craft at a brand new, purpose-built sea trial facility in Port Ginesta, Barcelona.

Beneteau intends to make a range of both power and sailing boats permanently available at the centre for customers and press to test whenever it suits them. Until now, Beneteau has relied on twice-yearly events at a variety of locations. The new centre allows it to extend that facility all-year round.

Port Ginesta was chosen for its proximity to Barcelona airport, making it easily accessible for international visitors, as well as for its mild climate and favourable sea conditions. The site opened in late October with 16 boats available for international press and customers to try.
