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!

    • Hi Shane,

      Thank you for the compliment, I really appreciate .

      Yes, many sailors would rather rent a yacht instead of owning it because the maintenance is not cheap:)

      Have a great day!

  3. This is a wonderful review of this type of yacht. I live where there is no such kind of boats, but the review helped me know about them.

    The design of this site is also simple and helpful to the eyes. Thanks for sharing.
