Beta Marine Reaches Milestone of 50,000 Engines Sold
Thursday, 19th March 2026
In early 2026, Beta Marine reached a milestone of 50,000 engines sold, something we are extremely proud of. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our Beta Marine Distributors Worldwide, UK Dealers & Inland Waterways companies for their support over the past 38 years. A special thank you to Michele and Simone of Scandiesel Marine, Italy, who ordered the 50,000th engine.
With its unique WOC K number (K50000), this Beta 25 engine is typically used in the re-engining (or repowering) of a 30ft yacht. This special engine will go on to have many years of sailing, delivering reliability and peace of mind for its new owners.
