CSE SPBI

sailing yacht builder Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez, France

CSE SPBI is associated with the BENETEAU sailing yacht brand, and the available web content consists entirely of product pages for BENETEAU's sailing ranges. These cover the Oceanis and Oceanis Yacht cruising lines, from the trailerable Oceanis 30.1 up to the Oceanis Yacht 60, as well as the performance-oriented First range including the First 24, First 30, First 36 and First 44. Boats are built in series with multiple cabin, keel, draught and rig configurations, and the pages state that most of the Oceanis range is still manufactured in France. The scraped material is limited to model marketing and specifications, so it does not describe yard facilities, locations or corporate structure.
