The Beneteau Owners Club is running a cruise to France on the first weekend of July. 

The family-friendly event will embark from Port Hamble on 1 July heading for Cherbourg for a weekend of entertainment.     

Event partners Sailing Today, Beneteau, Ancasta International Boat Sales and Universal Yachting are hosting the fully chaperoned cross-channel cruise.

They will also provide free workshops ahead of the cruise weekend in passage planning, getting the most out of your electronics and safety, among other topics. 

The cruise is open to all Beneteau owners, whether export or novice. A buddy system will connect newcomers with experienced Beneteau sailors to make the most out of the weekend.

To register for this event or join the Beneteau Owners Club, e-mail [email protected] with full contact details and a few basic details about your boat. Places are limited and will be handled on a first come first served basis.

Beneteau is one of the most popular yacht brands in Ireland. It is distributed by BJ Marine of Malahide.
