BENETEAU: A LONG STORY THAT BEGAN IN 1884 

The first BENETEAU boats sailed from the shipyards of Croix-de-Vie over 136 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.

WIDE RANGE OF SAILING YACHTS AND POWERBOATS 

Sailboat Range

We built our first sailboats over 135 years ago and many things have changed since then. The oak we once relied on has been replaced with strong but lightweight resin and carbon fiber. Where canvas once caught the wind, now it’s Kevlar and Vectran. We’ve transformed dark, confining saloons and cabins into bright, open living spaces. And the list of innovations in hull design and navigation continues to grow at a rapidly increasing pace.

However, some things haven’t changed and never will. Benjamin BENETEAU’s philosophy of building the strongest, safest, most beautiful boats on the water is alive and well. The BENETEAU family’s pride in craftsmanship and passion for performance can easily be recognized in every FIRST, FIRST SE, FIGARO, OCEANIS, and OCEANIS YACHT built today.  

Knowing what to keep and what to change – that’s why BENETEAU continues to set the bar in sailing.

Powerboat Range

In North America, we might be considered by some to be a late-comer to the powerboat market, but in fact, we’ve always been a major force in it. As with most things, we have our founder, Benjamin BENETEAU, to thank. He was one of the first to put a petrol engine on his fishing trawlers in the early 1900s, thus changing the French commercial fishing fleet forever.

His successors found that power was a perfect fit for the bold, new hull materials they were pioneering in the ’60s. Since then, new technologies in propulsion have always found their way aboard a BENETEAU first, and power has long been part of our equation for success.

Today, there’s a BENETEAU powerboat or motor yacht for whatever you’re looking for – from casual cruising to long-distance adventuring, from fishing and diving to water skiing. They can be found on the open ocean, coastlines, harbors, lakes, and rivers. There’s a whole world to discover out there, and there’s no better way to discover it than at the helm of a BENETEAU powerboat, trawler or motor yacht.

What makes a Henley a Henley?

Henley is the oldest heavy aluminum boat manufacturer in the province of ontario..

To our knowledge we are the only company building heavy aluminum boats with lapstrake sides anywhere.

For over 40 years these Henley Boats have been designed and built without compromise.

We insist on building our boats using the best materials, the most modern welding methods and proven and approved designs.

• Our lapstrake hull sides are stronger than plate.
• Our full frame structure inside the hull on 16 inch centres ensures every boat is perfectly straight and rigid.
• Our sturdy self draining floor is plug welded to the internal hull frame system.
• Our built in fuel tanks are mounted below the self draining cockpit deck to keep the centre of gravity low.

When you compare a Henley boat to our competitors, we believe we offer more. Our designs are well thought out, our sizing is generous, and often foot for foot we can handle more horsepower.

Henley boats are designed & built to last decades. Backed by a lifetime warranty against hull cracking, we invite you to investigate why a Henley boat is the right choice for you.

Proven Design/Build Quality – Since 1972

What sets Henley apart from other aluminum boat building companies?

Henley the only builder in North America that employs the roll-form lapstrake process in a welded aluminum boat.

The benefits of the roll-form lapstrake process:

• Lapstraking strengthens the aluminum at every bend, allowing us to use lighter gauge aluminum without sacrificing toughness.
• It also makes for a drier ride in rough water as the lapstrake design forces water spray to the side, away from the boat and its occupants. Lapstraked sides give

Henley boats a unique and dynamic look.

• Combined with a fully framed-in deck, we have created on of the safest, most durable and attractive welded aluminum boats on the water.

Every Henley boat comes with a LIFETIME warranty against cracking and is handcrafted to meet your specific needs.

Built for versatility, these boats can be used in both salt water and freshwater. They are designed to navigate many different types of waterways so you can pursue many different species of fish.

Small lightweight and, durable trailer boats made of aluminum are most often used for freshwater fishing. Generally very simple craft, featuring riveted or welded aluminum hulls and bench seating, they can be operated in fish-friendly places - shallow water, coves, inlets - not many other boats can reach. Powered primarily by outboard engines, this type of boat offers both tiller and remote steering options.

These boats are popular in coastal areas. They can float and run in water less than two feet deep and are ideal for fishing with two to three people on board.

These family boats are the most popular in the runabout/sportboat category and are equipped with extra seats and forward access to the bow, a convenient spot to relax and sun.

Recreational by nature, Cabin Cruisers are generally equipped with cooking, sleeping and bathroom facilities and are ideal for those who want to feel the sun above and the ocean below.

These open fishing boats are built to take rough offshore waters in pursuit of ocean fish. Rod holders, outriggers and other gear are common fittings onboard.

Cuddy cabins are ideal for day cruising, watersports, and other on-the-water activities such as fishing and swimming.

Deck boats have a wide deck to carry 6 to 10 or more passengers (like pontoons) but look and perform more like runabouts. They are powerful, too, making them excellent boats for skiing, tubing and wakeboarding

These small crafts are usually less than 10 feet in length, easy to carry on a car top or light enough to carry on board a cruiser. Great for use off the beach, or around the harbour.

This craft allows boaters to enjoy the two most popular on-water activities; fishing and skiing. This family fishing and recreational boat has enough power to pull a skier or two, and to get to the fishing spot in short order.

High performance boats are the sleek sports cars of the boating world, offering high speeds and precise handling to boaters who prefer their thrills full throttle. Marrying big horsepower with sleek hulls results in boats that are equally at home slicing through ocean swells or tearing up inland lakes. Cranking offshore or simply relaxing in a cove, performance boats deliver lots of smiles per hour.

Inflatable boats range in size from 8-foot dinghies for tenders to 30-foot high performance boats. These boats are suitable for saltwater and freshwater fishing, watersports and more.

Like bowriders and deck boats, they offer comfortable seating and sunning areas, plus a speedy and exciting ride. They are distinguished from runabouts by their propulsion system, which is enclosed inside the hull.

Large boats equipped with powerful single or twin engines, these craft are ideal for ocean cruising, navigating large rivers or the Great Lakes, as well as entertaining at the dock, and can stay on the water for days.

Featuring two or three hulls, rather than the more common single hull, multi-hull powerboats include designs for hardcore freshwater and saltwater fishing, as well as recreational and cruising, complete with expected amenities.

Lightweight and manoeuvreable, personal watercraft are the perfect option for boaters looking for an exciting escape and enjoyable time on the water.

Pontoon boats give families with younger boaters a secure place to enjoy the ride or toddle about when at anchor, thanks to wide decks and "play pen-like" side rails and gates. When equipped with larger engines they can be as quick as runabouts.

Sailboats differ from other types of boats in that they are propelled partly or entirely by wind; they use sails to transform the power of the wind into power that moves the boat through the water. The term sailboat covers a wide variety of sailing craft, each with its own characteristics and styles. In general, sailboats are distinguished by size, hull configuration, keel type, number of sails, use and purpose.

Carve the morning glass on skis, soar over the wakes on a wakeboard, or surf an endless wave…ski/wake/surf boats are your gateway to fun!

Inboard Engine

These boats are great for pursuing large fish. Often equipped with sleeping berths, a galley for cooking and plumbing for convenience, they have the capacity to stay on the water for days

Facilities for sleeping, cooking and plumbing provide boating fun for weekends on the water with family and friends. They can handle big rivers, lakes and oceans on moderate days.

These boats may be the ultimate family fishing boats and are most popular in coastal waters, large bays and the Great Lakes where anglers pursue salmon or offshore ocean species. They are equipped with rod holders, livewells and steps to the forward deck to make it easy to follow a big fish around the boat.

Performance.

Welcome to the rossiter family, quality. performance. heritage..

Whether you are in fresh water or salt water, you can handle the seas with grace in any Rossiter. With over forty years of producing sleek, streamlined boats, Rossiter has evolved into one of the leading manufacturers of fully composite, luxury powerboats. Rossiter’s unrivaled quality and craftsmanship combine the pinnacle of style and performance while looking and acting like nothing else on the water.

Every Rossiter is Handmade

Using the very latest technology and materials, Rossiter boats are built to last a lifetime. Every Rossiter is built to the highest industry standards, fit and finish and backed by our Lifetime Warranty on the Rossiter Hull.

There is great value in using the latest and most technologically advanced materials available, and we do. But there is also value in building a boat the traditional way – one at a time, by hand, each and every day. Tooling, 3-D modeling, hi-tech composite materials from Kevlar to closed cell structural engineered foam, optimizing the strength-to-weight ratio, using stitched mat fabrics rather than woven roving for lighter, stronger hulls, barrier coating to greatly enhance the life and vibrancy of the custom gel-coat and to reduce the osmotic blistering, higher pigmentation levels in our get coat, etc. All these details make for a longer lasting and more beautiful vessel, even in the harshest marine environments.
