Jeanneau yachts for sale.

Jeanneau was founded in 1957 in Les Herbiers, in France's Vendée region, by Henri Jeanneau, a local hardware merchant who built his first wooden hull that year. The yard built its first fiberglass hull in 1958 and added sailboats in 1964 with the Alizé. Jeanneau joined Groupe Beneteau in 1995 and is still based in Les Herbiers.

Jeanneau builds both sail and power. Its sailboats include the Sun Odyssey cruising range, the larger Jeanneau Yachts models and the Sun Fast racer-cruisers. On the power side it builds the Merry Fisher line and the Cap Camarat line, which dates to 1980, along with DB Yachts and the TH and EX models. Jeanneau also launched the first Prestige motor yacht in 1989; Prestige is now a separate Beneteau brand.
