Faeton is a Spanish recreational boat builder founded in 1980 in Almería, originally producing sport fishing boats of 7.5 to 12 metres. The yard developed the "Fisher" and "Scape" fishing-leisure ranges, introduced what it describes as the first Spanish-built bow rider in the early 1990s, and since 1995 has focused on internal-combustion powered craft such as the 780 Moraga. Deep-V hull design work was carried out in collaboration with American naval architect David L. Napier. The company reports over 40 years of activity and more than 3,000 boats built, and was acquired by Grupo Astondoa (Santa Pola, Alicante) in 2008.
