Beneteau, the well-known player in the world boating industry, has announced an exclusive offer to support sailing enthusiasts in renewing their sailboats, and the offer is up and running in Ireland through BJ Marine.

"At BJ Marine, we are experiencing a very busy start to the season with new Beneteau sailboats in particular, and to build on this early season success further, Beneteau is giving us support to take trade-ins against new boat orders. This can be for a new build or for a boat that Beneteau has built at the factory", BJ's Group Sales Manager James Kirwan told Afloat.

This special offer allows boat owners to receive a bonus on the trade-in of their old boat (all brands included) when purchasing a new Beneteau sailboat. This initiative was designed to make it easier to access the new generation of boats, which are more efficient and comfortable.

"Already in the last few weeks, we have handover a new Oceanis 30.1 and Oceanis 46.1, with an Oceanis 34.1 almost ready to leave the factory. We also have a brand new, just launched, Oceanis 40.1 here in display in Greystones too, which will qualify for the trade-in benefit should a customer look to trade up", Kirwan says.

AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAIL INTO THE FUTURE

Aware of the challenges related to renewing nautical equipment, Beneteau aims to support its customers in this transition by offering a beneficial and straightforward solution. In exchange for their old boat, owners can benefit from an optimised valuation and an additional bonus, allowing them to bring their project to life under the best conditions.

This offer is available from March 24 to May 31, 2025, at participating Beneteau dealerships.

"We can take trade ins of sail boats or motor boats from any manufacturer" Kirwan told Afloat.

If interested, customers should contact BJ Marine immediately at [email protected] or call James Kirwan on 087 7712223

Beneteau says the offer is valid for purchasing a new sailboat from a selection of models, subject to stock availability or delivery by December 15, 2025. Interested customers are invited to visit BJ Marine for more information and a personalised boat appraisal.
