CNB – a renown name in luxury pleasure yachting
CNB was founded in 1987. It is today a branch of Groupe Bénéteau, the world leader in sailboat building and listed in the second market of the Paris Stock Exchange. The yard stands along the banks of the river Garonne, near the most famous Bordeaux vineyards. CNB occupies 24,000 m² among which 12,000 are covered. There is a 300m wharf along waters deep enough for launching boats and for the first in-water tests.
