Faeton commenced its boat manufacturing operations in 1973 on the picturesque shores of Rincon de la Victoria, Spain. From its inception, the company has been synonymous with designing, producing, and marketing robust, reliable, and performance-driven motor boats. The founding team, led by D. Gonzalo Gali Galan, was passionate about the sea and deeply understood the essentials of maritime life, incorporating them into their boat designs with precision. Over the years, they built and nurtured a respected marine brand, reputed for both motor and sport boats, alongside a loyal customer base. Their boats were favoured for their stellar sea-handling capabilities, elegant designs, comfort-oriented interiors, and overall resilience.
The company experienced significant expansion in the 1980s and 1990s, broadening its boat ranges and evolving its design aesthetics to align with global trends. Faeton also began investing more in technology and engineering at this stage, with a view to improving the overall customer experience. Meanwhile, their commitment to the environment grew in prominence, leading to boats that were not only user-friendly but also ecological.
Today, Faeton’s operations have spread beyond the confines of the charming Rincon de la Victoria region, and they are now headquartered in Malaga, Spain. Despite this geographical shift, the company maintains its quintessential Spanish character and commitment to craftsmanship. Furthermore, they still base their production on the principles that have brought them this far: time-honoured manufacturing traditions witnessed in their shipyard, attention to detail, rigorous quality control mechanisms, high-performance boat specifications and constant innovation in design and technology. Faeton continues to be an iconic boat manufacturer, holding fast in an ever-evolving nautical landscape.
