Founded in 1987 in Bordeaux, France, CNB Yachts has built its reputation around high-quality sailing yachts designed for serious owners. From the outset, the shipyard focused on combining performance, craftsmanship, and comfort, establishing itself as a respected name in the premium sailing yacht segment. Its Atlantic location continues to shape both engineering priorities and real-world testing.

As part of Groupe Beneteau, CNB benefits from industrial strength while retaining a distinctly bespoke approach. The shipyard is particularly known for its close collaboration with naval architects such as Philippe Briand, resulting in yachts that balance responsive sailing characteristics with practical layouts. Production volumes remain controlled, allowing each build to receive a high level of technical oversight.

CNB’s range includes semi-custom models such as the CNB 66 and CNB 76, alongside fully custom projects. These yachts appeal to experienced owners seeking long-range capability, refined interiors, and predictable handling at sea. The focus is clear: yachts designed to be sailed, owned, and enjoyed without compromise.
