Great sunset sail last Saturday night! Perfect for visiting family or with friends. Can't wait to go again!

Todd and Max were wonderful for our trip with my family. I really appreciated that he cancelled and rebooked when weather was bad one weekend - which was a great call! It was an overall amazing experience. I appreciated their covid safety measures especially around my elderly grandmother. Would recommend!!!

Highly recommend. First sailing adventure for a couple in our group, they loved it, even talked about going again before their vacation was. over. It will be part of our next trip to Naples.

I recently rented a sailboat from Todd at Sailboats Unlimited. As far as I can tell, it's the only place to rent a sailboat in Naples. Not to worry, they have really good boats. Todd was very helpful getting me properly familiar with all the gadgets on the boat, and he made sure we were set to have a good time. The boat was in very good condition and is a really nice quality Beneteau, with sleeping for four, a sink, depth finder, GPS, wind speed, twin rudder, etc. Todd or his assistant were available by phone at all times if we needed help (which we didn't). I'm only rating S.U. a four because the engine was a bit hard to start both times we needed it (going out and going in). Also, a total five-star experience would have been some waters on ice, but obviously that's nit-picky! Great boat -- great people!

Beneteau First 20 we rented, very nice!

This past weekend 7 of us girls had the pleasure of spending 8 hours on a beautiful sailboat with Vinny and Sue. Vinny taught us how to sail and gave us the history of all the homes along the way. Sue, who happens to be a Real Estate agent, was also very knowledgeable about the area. We brought snacks and drinks on the boat and Sue wouldn't let us do anything. She served us all day and catered to our every need. We stopped at the Snook Inn on Marco Island for lunch and then headed back. We also saw Dolphins who were swimming along side the boat. The weather was perfect, the music was great and we couldn't have had a better ending to our trip Ann C. New Jersey

We built with you in mind for over 138 years. We’ve transformed living spaces and the list of innovations in hull design and navigation continues to grow at a rapidly increasing pace. Since 1884, BENETEAU's philosophy of building the strongest, safest, most beautiful boats on the water is alive and well. The BENETEAU family’s pride in craftsmanship and passion for performance can easily be recognized in every FIRST, FIRST SE, FIGARO, OCEANIS, and OCEANIS YACHT built today.  

The  world reference  in cruising. Oceanis is our range of long-distance, blue water cruisers that for years has set the standard for sailboat design and construction, with a hull that is a marvel in hydrodynamics,  Oceanis delivers superior performance  while providing stability and safety while under sail. Despite her strong sea legs, she doesn’t sacrifice luxury and comfort. You can choose your layout based on different configurations below deck and also have  your choice  of interior finishes. Your Oceanis will be a joy to sail and be  your home away from home . The Oceanis range continues to  appeal to all sailors  around the world.

Oceanis Yacht

The  Oceanis Yacht  is the culmination of our Oceanis philosophy where cruising comfort, performance, and customization reign supreme. Her elegant design and luxurious interiors add a new dimension to life at sea with an enormous salon, impressive galley, spacious staterooms, and plenty of ambient light from the many large windows and skylights. Despite her lavish details, our Oceanis Yacht maneuvers as easily as a smaller yacht thanks to a perfectly centered sail plan and twin rudders. She is a yacht that represents the  art of sailing  at its regal best.

40 years of iconic  brand heritage. The signature features of the FIRST range have not changed since its conception in 1977 – these boats have always been designed for  sailors  who enjoy club racing as much as cruising, joining them into one cohesive product line, the proverbial  best  of both worlds. Today, BENETEAU takes another step in this direction with the launch of the new FIRST range.  These boats offer simplicity, performances, and comfortable interiors and cockpits geared towards daysailing and coastal cruising. Renewing the competition spirit of the brand, they represent a true adaptation to the  needs and expectations  of the widest variety of sailors.

High-tech performance from the cutting edge of racing into the hands of the recreational sailors.  First SE - Seascape Edition encourages and empowers sailors to expand their comfort zone by joining competitive one-design racing and adventure sailing . It grows a community of owners linked by shared values and a drive to strengthen their sailing skills. Whether owners are racing against others in one-design classes or are engaging in adventure sailing, the First SE connects them to the elements and helps them experience nature in the most authentic way. A carbon rig, laminate sails and other technological features give sailors the ultimate sailing experience, performance and control.

A true legend. The Figaro is an ode to excellence in offshore racing. The one-design sailing yacht was initially designed for the Solitaire du Figaro, allowing some of the greatest skippers to compete at sea on equal terms, much to their pleasure. The sailor makes the difference on a Figaro.   

Heritage BENETEAU sailboats

Our history has been told many times in these last fifty years, but, to understand it, you need to grasp our company values, and return to its origins, since it is nothing but continuity and progression.

- Annette ROUX

DISCOVER ALL OUR SAILING BOATS AND LUXURY YACHT RANGES 

Are you looking for a  sailing yacht dealer ? Leisure boating, short trips, competitive sailing, regattas – whatever type of sailing you like, BENETEAU has a wide range of  sailing yachts  and  luxury yachts , so there’s bound to be a boat to fulfill your dreams. 

SAILING YACHTS FOR ANY TYPE OF SAILING 

We built our first sailboats over 138 years ago and many things have changed since then. The oak we once relied on has been replaced with strong but lightweight resin and carbon fiber. Where canvas once caught the wind, now it’s Kevlar and Vectran. We’ve transformed dark, confining salons and cabins into bright, open living spaces. And the list of innovations in hull design and navigation continues to grow at a rapidly increasing pace.

However, some things haven’t changed and never will. Benjamin BENETEAU’s philosophy of building the strongest, safest, most beautiful boats on the water is alive and well. The BENETEAU family’s pride in craftsmanship and passion for performance can easily be recognized in every FIRST, FIGARO, OCEANIS, and OCEANIS YACHT built today.  

Knowing what to keep and what to change – that’s why BENETEAU continues to set the bar in sailing.

OCEANIS: THE BEST SELLER

Oceanis is our range of long-distance, blue water cruisers and for years has set the standard for sailboat design and construction. With a hull that is a marvel in hydrodynamics, Oceanis delivers superior performance while providing stability and safety under sail. Despite her strong sea legs, she doesn’t sacrifice luxury and comfort. You can choose your layout based on different configurations below deck and also have your choice of interior finishes. Your Oceanis will be a joy to sail and be your home away from home.

OCEANIS YACHTS:LUXURY YACHTS

BENETEAU is also there to help you buy a top-quality boat. The OCEANIS Yacht line delivers  luxury sailing yachts  that satisfy this requirement perfectly. The line comprises two luxury craft of over 50 feet, designed by renowned architects and designers. 

FIRST: ICONIC PERFORMANCE SAILING

 Our 7th generation of the First range offers you the experience of pure sailing joy while staying true to our standards for safety and stability. She is lightweight with a streamlined design, making her highly adaptable to whatever the wind and water have in store. The First is fast but forgiving, spicy but safe – perfect for the thrill-seeking novice or seasoned competitive sailor alike.

FIRST SE RANGE: HIGH PERFORMANCE YACHTS

First SE - Seascape Edition encourages and empowers sailors to expand their comfort zone by joining competitive one-design racing and adventure sailing. It grows a community of owners linked by shared values and a drive to strengthen their sailing skills. Whether owners are racing against others in one-design classes or are engaging in adventure sailing, the First SE connects them to the elements and helps them experience nature in the most authentic way.

FIGARO: OFFSHORE AND PROFESSIONAL RACING

A marvel in racing innovation, the Figaro BENETEAU 3 is the first production foiling one-design monohull to ever grace the seas. Designed in collaboration between BENETEAU and Van Peteghem Lauriot-Prévost (the architects of the last two Vendée Globe winners), her greatest and most visible feature is the inverted foiling system created to reduce drift and improve the righting moment without increasing movement. The Figaro BENETEAU 3’s radical design makes her the logical choice when winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.

SAILING YACHTS SAILING THE FIVE OCEANS 

This diversity has led to the BENETEAU brand being represented on all the world’s seas. But wherever they are, BENETEAU boats are easily recognizable for their taut lines, innovative design, robustness and performance. No doubt this will continue, since BENETEAU is constantly reinventing itself to provide ever more enjoyable, high performing, safe and user-friendly recreational craft. BENETEAU achieves this by making the most of current and future innovations such as ship control, dock and go, foils, etc.

ABOUT H1 UNLIMITED

The Unlimiteds are powered by turbine-engines that produce around 3,000 horsepower and World War 2-era Allison V-12’s that kick out around 2,500 horsepower – allowing our drivers to reach speeds of nearly 200 mph and producing a massive 60-foot tall, 300-foot long wall of water called a “roostertail” behind them. With very few restrictions, these majestic hydroplanes race in front of shorelines packed with fans on bodies of water throughout the United States.

Follow the H1 Unlimited Hydroplane Racing Series in 2024:

The season kicks off June 29-30 in Guntersville, Alabama, home of the Guntersville Lake Hydrofest . We will return to this ultra-fast course layout where the third-fastest lap of all time was set in 2023!

From there, the boats head to Madison, Indiana, home of the only community-owned hydroplanes on the circuit for the Madison Regatta on the Ohio River July 5-7.

The next stop is the Columbia River in Kennewick, Washington July 26-28 for the Columbia Cup and a sunbaked weekend on one of the super speedways of the series – look for speeds topping 200 mph.

Seattle’s Seafair is next up on August 2-4. As the home race for most of the Unlimited teams, Seattle is the one everyone wants to win!

The race for the APBA Gold Cup in Detroit is back on our schedule August 23-25! Watch our Unlimiteds on the most spectacular course we race on – the Roostertail Turn has to be seen to be believed!

We’re back to San Diego after a year away on September 13-15. Beautiful Mission Bay never fails to provide the perfect backdrop for our fast boats.

If you haven’t experienced H1Unlimited hydroplane racing in person, choose an event, get down to the shore and see what makes this “the most spectacular sport on the water.”

12 Top-Rated Attractions & Things to Do in Ulm

Written by Bryan Dearsley and Barbara Radcliffe Rogers Updated Dec 22, 2023 We may earn a commission from affiliate links ( )

The old German imperial city of Ulm, located on the left bank of the River Danube and founded in AD 850, is the economic and cultural center of Upper Württemberg and the starting point of the Upper Swabian Baroque Highway .

Even without its other interesting things to do, Ulm would be worth visiting for the magnificent Ulm Münster. Topped by the tallest church spire in the world - it stands at 162 meters in height - this impressive cathedral is widely regarded as one of the best preserved Gothic churches in Europe.

Tourists interested in architectural attractions will appreciate Ulm's striking blend of old and cutting-edge modern architecture, often side by side. The city is also known for its many theater, opera, and dance performances. It also boasts a first-rate professional orchestra, a large Christmas Market, and lively traditional festivals, such as Oath Monday and the Fishermen's Jousting Tournament.

Learn more about the best places to visit in this historic city, with our list of the top attractions and things to do in Ulm, Germany.

Located in the city center stands Ulm Minster (Ulmer Münster), Germany's largest Gothic church after Cologne Cathedral. Started in 1377, its soaring spire was a work in progress that began in the 14th century and was finally completed in 1890 on the basis of a sketch left by Matthias Böblinger.

The tallest church spire in the world at 162 meters - five meters taller than its counterpart in Cologne - it dominates the city skyline. It's a particularly stunning sight when viewed from the banks of the nearby River Danube , especially at night.

Interior highlights include its fine choir stalls built in 1469, as well as the narrow staircase inside the tower. While it's tough going, the wonderful views to the Alps make the hard work worth it. A series of organ recitals are held throughout the summer months and are well worth attending.

A rather more current take on church architecture can be seen in the St. John the Baptist Church . This no-less impressive structure was extensively remodeled in the modernist style in the 1920s.

Address: Münsterplatz 21, 89073 Ulm, Germany

Set around the mouth of the River Blau, which flows into the Danube here, is where you'll find Ulm's very picturesque and skillfully restored Fischerviertel, the old Fishermen's and Tanners' Quarter. It's wonderful to explore on foot, and one of the favorite things to do in Ulm is to take a leisurely walking tour past its superbly restored half-timbered houses and stroll its inviting narrow alleyways and bridges.

A highlight of this fascinating area is the famous Crooked House (Das Schiefe Haus). This charming 14th-century timber-framed home is now a hotel ( Hotel Schiefes Haus Ulm ), but even if you're not staying here (it's a highly recommended experience), it's well worth seeing. Although much of its lean was corrected in 1620, it still leans over the river supported by its ancient beams.

The Fischerviertel area is also wonderful to explore at night when many of the old structures are lit up, and offers many excellent dining and shopping opportunities.

Address: Schwörhausgasse 6, Ulm, Germany

To the south of the Münster in the Marktplatz is the handsome Gothic Town Hall (Rathaus) with frescoes dating from 1540. With its architectural detail and frescoed Renaissance façade, there's no denying the building's visual appeal. Visitors are often surprised to learn that the intricate designs and décor were largely reconstructed after the devastation of World War II.

Originally built in the mid-14th-century, it first served as a form of medieval department store, housing a variety of different merchants and tradesmen, before becoming the town hall. Highlights of the building include a replica of the 16th-century astronomical clock , and the beautiful fountain known as the Fischkastenbrunnen (fish-tank fountain) built in 1482, which stands outside the building.

In startling contrast to this Renaissance building, beside it stands the modern glass pyramid of the Stadtbibliothek, the city library.

Address: Marktplatz 1, 89073 Ulm, Germany

Most of Ulm's 15th-century town walls have been well preserved and provide an excellent means of exploring the old town. Built in 1482 along the banks of the Danube, the walls - originally designed as a deterrent against invaders - circle the town from the Lauseck Bastion, taking in the Fishermen's and Tanners' Quarters and the boat landing stages.

Along the way, you'll find the 36-meter-tall Metzgerturm , or Butchers' Tower, which leans several feet off the vertical. You'll also find many wonderful cafés and restaurants, as well as quiet riverside spots ideal for picnics.

One of Germany's finest collections of Upper Swabian art and culture resides in Museum Ulm. Highlights of its outstanding collections of art, archaeology, and history include the 40,000-year-old Lion Man, carved from mammoth ivory and the oldest known animal carving in the world.

Works by 20th-century artists including Klee, Picasso, and Lichtenstein are shown in the Kurt Fried Collection. Take a little time to also see the sculptures by Michel Erhart Joerg Syrlin the Elder and paintings by Martin Schaffner and Bartholomew Zeitblom.

Connected to the museum and worthy of a visit is the Archive of the Ulm School of Design. This popular gallery is well-known for its displays of artworks from the 50s and 60s.

Address: Marktplatz 9, Ulm, Germany

Official site: www.museumulm.de/en

Located just five kilometers from Ulm is the large Benedictine monastery of Wiblingen . Founded in the 11th-century and dissolved in 1803, Wiblingen Abbey (Wiblingen Kloster) is home to a magnificent Baroque church built in 1780, with outstanding sculptures and ceiling paintings by Januarius Zick.

The monastery's highlight, though, is its sumptuously decorated Rococo library, one of the finest examples of that style. Its interior is ringed by a gallery set on highly ornamented columns, and combines with the statues and ceiling fresco for an airy and whimsical style that seems almost frivolous for a monastery.

Today, the building houses the Museum im Konventbau , which paints a fascinating picture of the role of the abbey over the centuries.

Address: Schlossstrasse 38, Ulm-Wiblingen, Germany

Official site: www.kloster-wiblingen.de/en/

One of Ulm's most unusual places to visit, the unique Museum of Bread Culture (Museum Brot und Kunst) offers a fascinating insight into the history of bread and baking from ancient to modern times. Exhibits cover everything from the growing of grains and harvesting of crops, to the social implications of bread (or a lack thereof) upon populations, as well as its impact on art and culture.

The museum also houses an impressive art collection based upon these themes. It includes pieces from the Middle Ages to modern times by artists such as Rembrandt, Dalí, Picasso, and Man Ray. English language guided tours are available.

Address: Salzstadelgasse 10, 89073 Ulm, Germany

Official site: https://museumbrotundkunst.de/en

A highlight of Ulm's old town center is the wonderful Oath House, or Schwörhaus. Built on what was, in AD 854, the old Kings Palace, the existing 17th-century structure becomes the most important building in Ulm the first Monday of July. Known as Oath Monday, it's on this day that the city's Lord Mayor gives his account of the previous year's events.

What's remarkable is that this tradition has taken place every year since 1397, and the day is marked with celebrations and events. Also noteworthy here is the local history museum, which is located within the Oath House.

Another nearby tourist attraction that's worth a visit is the lovely Christopher Fountain dating from 1584.

Address: Weinhof 12, Ulm

For those traveling with children, one of the best places to visit is the delightful, though small, Tiergarten Ulm. Certainly no equal to the outstanding zoos in Leipzig or Munich, Ulm's Tiergarten has a respectable collection of exotic animals along with goats, deer, alpacas, and other animals. More exotic creatures live in the Tropical House, where you can see wallabies, Capuchin monkeys, Mississippi alligators, crocodiles, gibbons, and other warm climate species.

Children are especially fascinated by the aquatic displays, which include an 18-meter-long Danube Tunnel for cold water fish, and tropical fish swimming among coral and sea anemones. A nice park adjoins the zoo, with sculptures and playgrounds for children.

Address: Friedrichsau 40, Ulm, Germany

The Danube Swabian Museum (Donauschwäbisches Zentralmuseum) is well worth visiting for a better understanding of the regional history. Highlights include the Ulmer Schachtel (literally the "Ulm Box"), an 18th-century wooden boat used to transport emigrants down the Danube as far as Hungary.

Many of the museum's fascinating exhibits in fact focus on the story of these immigrants, who settled at various points along the Danube in the 17th and 18th centuries, showing the everyday life of those villages and towns between Budapest and Belgrade where the Danube Swabians settled.

The exhibits not only trace the lives of these Swabian people through a history marked by world wars and Iron Curtain repressions, but consider the current status of German minorities in Hungary, Romania, Serbia, and Croatia. Guided tours are available, and a gift shop is located on-site.

You can't miss this sleek modern building next to the more traditional architecture of the Ulm Museum - especially because in front of it stands the large red Dog sculpture by Keith Haring. Inside this must-see attraction are works selected (and rotated annually) by art collector Siegfried Weishaupt, representing 20th-century and modern art movements .

Included are works by Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Mark Rothko, Josef Albers, Dan Flavin, Willem de Kooning, Kenny Scharf, Tony Cragg, Robert Longo, and others. Don't miss the great views of the cathedral spires from the balcony. Guided tours are available, and if you're feeling peckish, be sure to stop in at the on-site café.

While fountains are a common sight in many European cities, as are monuments to famous native sons, none is more unusual that Ulm's Einstein Fountain (Einstein Brunnen). This unique cast bronze sculpture depicts a large snail (chosen to represent nature and wisdom) standing on a rocket (representing the scientist's studies in time, space, and atomic theory) that shoots water from its base.

Emerging from the snail is the head of Einstein in the famous pose with his tongue stuck out and hair in wild disarray. The fountain, which sits at the 16th-century Zeughaus arsenal, was created by Jürgen Goertz in 1984. Einstein was born in Ulm, but lived here only the first year of his life.

Address: Am Zeughaus 15, Ulm, Germany

Siedepunkt Restaurant

Ratings and reviews

Location and contact, michelin guide's point of view.

This is a great restaurant completely worth of the star it has. When we went there, we got a menu with plenty of fish dishes that were superbly prepared. Tasty, really refined flavors. Be careful, the 6 six dishes ends up being a bit too... much food. I liked everything they gave us, although the Dorade and Loup de Mer were specially remarkable. The place is really nice, although is a pretty long walk from Ulm's city center. It is super spacious and really private. Service is super attentive, they were really accommodating and welcoming. As a bonus, the wine is extremely affordable compared to other Michelin star restaurants in Germany, without compromising on the quality. More

Thank you very much for your great review. We all appreciated your positive feedback. As a little tip for your next visit: Take the tram from the city center and you will be with us in 10 minutes.

I've just spent the week in Best Western Plus attached to this restaurant and have eaten here several times. The food has all been very good and the wine choices with the food have been spot on too. Definitely worth a visit if you are... in the area for business or pleasure More

Very nice meal, and really friendly staff. Really nice atmosphere and a modern ut cosy look. I had the Wiener schnitzel with chips and a really tasty side salad, washed down with a good helles Paulaner beer.
