CNB Yacht Builders began their journey in 1987, founded by two fervent sailors along the picturesque banks of the Garonne in Bordeaux. From the outset, their dedication to quality and innovation set the stage for a new era in yacht building. By melding traditional craftsmanship with avant-garde designs, CNB quickly established itself as a beacon of excellence in the yachting world.
The early adoption of pioneering technologies and materials, alongside the artistic touch of renowned maritime architect Philippe Briand, led to the birth of their first custom project, the MARI-CHA II, in 1989. This set a precedent for quality and custom service that continues to today. CNB was incorporated into the BENETEAU group in 1992, further enhancing its capability to offer a diverse range of yachts including the Bordeaux 60 and CNB 76, known for their exceptional design, agility, and reliability.
As of 2021, CNB has embarked on a new voyage under the Solaris banner, promising exciting additions with the CNB 78 and CNB 88. These models encapsulate CNB's historical expertise and commitment to future-forward yacht building, pushing the boundaries of luxury and performance. Each model threading through history up to the present CNB fleet speaks of a lineage that is introspective yet dynamic, focusing on delivering exceptional nautical experiences.
