Groupe Beneteau traces its history to 1884 when Benjamin Beneteau founded the original yard in France, and today builds both sailing yachts (Oceanis, First) and power boats (Swift Trawler, Antares, Gran Turismo, Flyer) under the Beneteau brand. The active used Beneteau inventory on HMY Yachts currently runs from 23 to 53 feet and model years 1991 to 2025, so buyers are comparing sail and power models from multiple production eras.

For a used Beneteau, the major comparison points are sail vs power (Oceanis, First vs Swift Trawler, Antares, Gran Turismo), model and length, year, engine make and hours, generator and air-conditioning equipment if fitted, electronics suite, rigging and sail condition for sailing models, soft goods, and refit history. Older Beneteaus from the SC plant and current French-built hulls can differ in equipment level and trim, so model-year and original build location matter on survey.
