Following a review of their exhibition and business strategies, Beneteau and all its dealers in theUKhave taken the decision not to exhibit at the 2012 Tullet Prebon London Boat Show at ExCel.

Francois Renault, Area Sales Manager for the UK, said, “The UK is a very important market to Beneteau and we feel that we can best serve our customers here by focussing our efforts into the PSP Southampton Boat Show, where we can have boats on the water and show our full range, as well as supporting our dealers in order to stimulate sales through their existing customer pipelines.”

He continued, “We had more boats atSouthamptonthis year than ever before and enjoyed a successful show. We will soon be showcasing equally large exhibits at both the Paris and Düsseldorf boat shows where an extensive selection from our range will be on display along with many new models. As always we welcome people to these shows from all over the world including theUK.”

The Beneteau motorboats will be well represented and will include; the Antares 7.80 and 8.80, Flyer 6.50SD and 7.50 Cabrio plus the NEW Barracuda 9 inthe outboard powered category. In addition, the larger powerboats will include; the Antares 30 and 36, the Swift Trawler 44 and the NEW Flyer Gran Trurismo 38, 44 and 49.

Francois Renault concluded, “We are continually developing new models for our customers and our focus is always on providing the best value for money possible to enable everyone to experience the pleasure of being on the water. We truly have something for everyone on display inParisand we look forward to welcoming our customers to another successful show so I would encourage customers to make the trip.”
