Beneteau Oceanis 58 Yacht Charter – Sail in Style!

I was impressed with Beneteau long before I experienced the Beneteau Oceanis 58 yacht charter, but I can honestly say that the 58 gave me a new appreciation for the boat builders.

Beneteau’s previous yachts leaned toward bold in style and construction, while the Oceanis 58 has chosen a different path.

The 58 has a more sophisticated design that is also understated, but the boat is fast, sleek, and unique in its own way.

Accommodation

A group of 10 adults (crew included) wouldn’t feel crowded aboard the 58. It seems that everything about the boat was designed to cater to a large crowd.

The galley has a layout that invites cooking for pleasure rather than a necessity. The saloon is huge and I found those evening hours could fly by enjoying the company of the other passengers over meals or planning sessions at the massive chart table.

Cabins come with private heads and plenty of storage cabinets and lockers. If you plan to sail with a good-sized group of friends or family, the 58 would be my suggestion.

You will have an abundance of space for entertaining, socializing, and relaxing, or you can find a nice private spot if you need it.

Under Sailing

I sailed the 58 with a skipper, so I cannot speak for the handling of the controls, but I can state that the boat ran faster than I expected.

Our sail was smooth and felt effortless, even when the wind was not particularly powerful.

I was pleased with how stable the vessel remained in choppy water, which is an especially helpful feature if you are sailing with a novice sailor or children who have yet to discover their sea legs.

Interior

The interior of the 58 has the advantage of being spacious without seeming to waste a lot of the precious space many luxury yachts are prone to do.

The wood and accents below the deck are of dark wood with a sheen. This is a change from the light-colored, softened decorating scheme below deck in many yachts, but this just adds to the distinctiveness of the 58.

There is also an incredible amount of sunlight, brightening the galley and saloon. I always enjoyed my coffee in the early hours of the morning, watching the horizon from the dinette area.

Exterior

The cockpit and lounge are separated on the 58, so you don’t have to feel as though you will be in the way as the skipper and crew maneuver the boat.

The lounge area is a terrific spot to soak up the sunshine or an out-of-the-way place to banish the teenagers.

The decks are easy to navigate and grip your feet properly to keep you stable. I was particularly impressed by the swim platform, which was more than a mere step for entering and exiting the water.

The platform allowed preparations to dive, snorkel, or launch a dinghy.

Why Sail the Beneteau Oceanis 58

  • Lots of space in common areas, cabins, and on the deck
  • Comfortable furnishings
  • The boat is quick and stable under sail
  • Big galley!
  • The design takes advantage of the boat’s layout and doesn’t waste space
  • Plenty of storage space.

In Conclusion

As a whole, the 58 is the ideal yacht for a charter with a crew. I spent a long, relaxing trip aboard this vessel and learned that you could easily feel as at home out on the water as you would in your home on dry land. Experience a vacation aboard a boat that will put any 5-star hotel to shame!

Lagoon 410 s2 Catamaran Yacht – The Updated Version !

The Lagoon 410 S2 Catamaran is an updated version of the Lagoon 410. I am always interested in exploring the differences between older models and newer versions.

Although there are some differences between the 410 S2, the sailing abilities are very good. The 410 S2 is a yacht that can hold its own.

I found the Lagoon 410 S2 Catamaran to be a comfortable cruising yacht with well-utilized space.

Accommodation

I discovered the performance of the Lagoon 410 S2 to be set to the highest standards of comfort and safety. The S2 is comfortable and cozy. The dining area, galley, and cabins are well-appointed.

There is plenty of space in the salon and galley for preparing meals, and dining and sleeping quarters are spacious and offer enough room to stretch out.

Under sail

Under sail, the 410 S2 is an exceptional sailing yacht that performs well. Primary sail control lines, including the reefing lines and halyard, are operated with the help of an electric winch.

The S2 performs well windward, except in very light air. I would easily charter the Lagoon 410 S2 again, and you should consider it too.

Waterline length allows for larger load carrying for longer offshore passages. Unlike other models with raised booms or flybridge, the S2 is absolved of that issue.

Interior

The interior of the 410 S2 is very spacious and appealing, with lots of natural light in the saloon and cabins. I found the boat to be stylishly designed with warm tones and pleasing color hues.

The navigation station, open-concept galley, and saloon make it a fantastic choice for long cruises. I enjoyed the large main salon for reading and gathering with passengers, which seats six comfortably and eight cozily.

There is lots of storage under the bench in the salon for supplies, food, and other necessities for cruising. Additionally, the S2 has large bilges as well as a large freezer and fridge.

The office area has a desk area for work, and although some sailors find it a wasted space, I found it to be very usable and convenient.

Exterior

The 410 S2 offers lots of room for lounging on the deck and spending time on topside.
I enjoyed laying out on the large trampoline and reading and drinking in the sea breeze.

The exterior area is limited by the size of the cockpit; however, it is the focal point for outside activities.

Comparison with the Lagoon 410

In comparison with the Lagoon 410 – the S2 is just an updated version and perfect for offshore.

Although the 410 seemed heavy, the S2 handles nicely.
Both the 410 and 410 S2 are very similar; however, there were some modifications made to make it more ergonomically designed.

The 410 had the anchor at the bridge deck, whereas the S2 had the anchor at the crossbeam.

Why Sail the Lagoon 410 S2

  • A lot of natural light in the interior
  • Handles nicely in windward conditions
  • The water tank is large enough to be self-contained.
  • Stable and safe even in challenging weather
  • Very comfortable accommodations

In Conclusion

I found the Lagoon 410 S2 to be a solid vessel and well-equipped to handle long offshore passages. Off the wind, the S2 sails in superb comfort.

I found my cruise aboard the Lagoon 410 S2 Catamaran to be very enjoyable, and I and would recommend the yacht to anyone. While there are some issues with the 410 S2, it really is a matter of preference.
