Sailing Yachts

Designed by Philippe Briand, Jeanneau 57 is an elegant offshore cruiser that offers endless possibilities both in terms of onboard living and sea exploration. The stylish interior and deck layout are the handiwork of Vittorio Garroni and offer a generous amount of accommodation and lounging space ideal for relaxation.

Once you get aboard the Jeanneau 57, you’ll discover, almost immediately, that every interior and exterior detail has been conceptualized to offer the most fun and engaging cruising experience. If you’re planning to charter the vessel for the first time, then you would most probably want to know what to expect in terms of onboard amenities, performance features, sailing destinations and more.

So, here is a quick review of the Jeanneau 57 sailing boat that can provide valuable insight into what the vessel has to offer:

Accommodations

Jeanneau 57 comes with 3 cabins that can house up to 6 guests in hotel-style comfort. The master bedroom lies forwards while the rest of the 2 identical cabins are located towards the aft and can have a configuration of either double or twin beds. In all accommodation layouts, there is a forward single bunk designed for the crew and can be accessed from the bow. The boat also comes with a total of 4 showers and 3 electric heads, which adds even more convenience to living on board

Interior

Inside the Jeanneau 57 lies a U-shaped galley that is furnished complete with a bench top, fridge, top-loading freezer, gimbaled stove with oven and three burners. The galley also features a range hood plus an optional dishwasher and microwave.

Just opposite the galley is a chart table complete with electronic nerve center. Within the boat’s large spacious saloon, there are light sofas and armchairs plus a table where you can relax as you converse or enjoy a meal with friends. There are sleek windows and skylights that bring in generous amounts of natural light, something that increases comfort on the vessel’s interior.

Exterior

The vessel’s companionway, which is flanked on both sides by leather-covered handrails, can be accessed via a clamshell hatch and there’s generous headroom as you descend to the cabin below. Jeanneau 57’s cockpit is comfortable and well organized, with its forward section featuring a lounging area and the aft section having a large sitting area.

There is also a drop-side table within the cockpit, featuring an integrated sink and icebox, which can seat up to 8 people or be used as a center point for distributing finger-foods. Throughout the yacht (including the exterior), rich materials like leather, blond teak floor finishing, and stainless steel have been perfectly utilized.

Generally, there’s just about enough on the deck for relaxation and play. You can actually lazy around the foredeck as you catch the soothing sea breeze or sit in the cockpit with family and/or friends as you enjoy some intimate or casual conversations.

Entertainment

Jeanneau 57 is equipped with a set of entertainment facilities that can make the cruising experience not only lively but also engaging. Within the saloon, there’s a stereo providing high-quality audio entertainment. A satellite TV, with 5GB weekly data, is also available for use with €35 charged for each additional 5GB purchased. If you would like to surf the internet, there is onboard Wi-Fi that’s at your disposal 24/7.

In terms of water entertainment, the vessel has a number of water sports facilities onboard including a 3.5m dinghy, water skis (for adults), windsurfer, snorkel gear, water tube, and wakeboard, all at your disposal. Jeanneau 57 further has a swim platform and boarding ladder in the transom, which makes it easier to get into and out of the water.

Performance

Jeanneau 57’s Volkswagen 140 hp/103 kW engine is powerful enough to push the boat at a decent speed of 9 knots/hour. Raising the sails, using the powered halyard and sheet winches, is also a breeze with this boat if you want to cruise with wind power. With this latter option, you can comfortably sail at speeds of 6.5 knots when the breeze is blowing at 8 to 10 knots.

Where Does Jeanneau 57 Sail?

The Jeanneau 57 boat is available in many locations for charter. But this specific one can be found in Greece during the summer. If you’ve successfully chartered the vessel, then your preferred pick-up point will be Corfu.

Why Charter The Jeanneau 57?

Setting into the sea with this vessel, first of all, promises a comfortable and luxurious experience, thanks to the stylish and well-organized deck. If you can come along with a couple of friends or family members, then your cruising experience can be both fun and engaging.

Secondly, the vessel is a sailboat, which means you can choose to either sail under power or with the help of wind. That means you have the opportunity to save more on fuel at sea or enjoy an ancient-like sailing experience when the conditions are windy.

Lastly, the 57 comes with a crew that cannot only help you with the cruising but also with cooking. With that, you can have an easy time hopping from one island to the next, all while getting the better of the sea and the adventures that come with it.

Conclusion

If you’ve been planning to charter a vessel that will offer you the most fun and memorable adventures at sea, you might just fall in love with Jeanneau 57. A quick look at its interior and exterior features reveal just how stylish and well-thought the vessel’s design is. That, when combined with a dedicated crew, a well-crafted itinerary and a dose of adrenaline-filled activities at sea make sailing with this vessel-either during winter or summer-worthwhile. So it is something worth giving a try.

Beneteau Oceanis 38 is a 38-foot performance cruiser that shares much of the good angular looks with the rest of Oceanis series. But its interior design breaks new ground and presents a living space like no other. The Oceanis 38’s construction is simply one-of-a-kind. From the hard chines (flowing from well forward to aft) to the considerable beam and twin wheels through to the fiberglass arch laid over the companionway, the vessel’s physical appearance is adorable, to say the least.

Beneteau 38 Sailboat is the epitome of comfort, luxury and unique cruising at sea. So any money spent in chartering the vessel would be worth it in the long run. But do you know what to expect in the boat in terms of exterior & exterior design, onboard amenities, and overall performance? Let’s find out!

Accommodation

The Beneteau 38 comes with 2 to 3 cabins that can house up to 6 guests, quite comfortably. There’s one head in the two cabin layout with the extra space from aft to board utilized as a stand-up shower. It’s a sizable room that can serve as a storage area or wet locker.

With the 3-cabin layout, the shower is in a small compartment, towards the port, otherwise appointed a hanging locker. There are Queen Size beds in these cabins, something that makes sleeping both comfortable and relaxing. All the cabins’ interior comes with a 6ft 5-inch headroom and includes removable forward bulkhead.

Interior

Beneteau 38’s interior is not only appealing but also highly configurable, allowing you to organize the interior spaces and the woodwork ambiances to suit your needs. The boat simply offers three options when it comes to re-organizing life on board the boat: the Daysailer, the Weekender, and the Cruise.

The Daysailer does away with the interior bulkheads, leaving space for a single room. This arrangement also proffers more aft space for storage and an open cockpit. The weekender version, on the other hand, offers a sophisticated yet appealing choice of layout. It includes open or closed cabins, in-line galley (with fridge, 2-burner stove, and oven), separate shower, helmsman’s seats, extra inside/outside table and more.

The Cruiser option of the Oceanic 38 features a large galley facing the saloon plus a bathroom with a separate shower. You also have the option of choosing between 2 or 3 fitted cabins. In this layout, the bulkhead can be taken off from the fore cabin to restore that lost feeling.

Exterior

The boat comes with twin helms opening up the middle of the cockpit. There’s also convenient access from the companionway going all the way aft, where the vessel’s hinged transom connects to the swim platform. Oceanis 38 comes with side decks that are fitted with handholds, making the process of maneuvering around safe and easy.

The Cruiser and Weekender versions usually come with a mainsheet arch placed over the cockpit together with a drop-leaf cockpit table. This sets up a perfect spot for entertainment, especially if you’re much into sundowners.

Ocean 38 boasts of Z-Spars deck-stepped mast that lies aft and placed right at the center of the keel. This creates a slightly larger fore-triangle which ensures more sailing power. A larger part of the deck hardware, including the primary and cabin top winches, is made of Harken. And when it comes to navigation equipment, it is an all B&G affair.

Entertainment

There’s never a dull moment aboard the Oceanis 38, all thanks to the saloon Stereo and LCD TV, cockpit loudspeakers, CD and DVD players and internet Wi-Fi. With all these entertainment equipment and facilities, you can enjoy listening to soothing music, watching your favorite movies on TV or surfing the internet, after a rather exciting day at sea.

---

Performance

Under sail, Beneteau can hit up to 3.8 knots when the wind blows at a steady speed of 7 knots. And with a displacement of just under 15,000 lbs, picking up its skirts and moving forward isn’t a big deal. If you can be lucky enough to come across strong winds to blow through the jib and make the mainsail battened, powering the vessel will be quite effortless and sailing experience joyous.

When cruising under power, you can enjoy both stability and swiftness as you move along. With a 30 hp Yanmar saildrive engine, Oceanis 38 can comfortably cruise at 7.1 knots or so at 2,700 rpm. The boat’s twin rudders are also well positioned, so backing straight and turning is both swift and precise.

Where Does Beneteau 38 Sail?

The 38 is fit to sail literally anywhere in the world. But for this specific vessel, you’ll find it in the Bahamas, Florida, and Cuba, both in winter and summer. The preferred pick-up point for the boat is Miami Beach.

Why Charter Beneteau Oceanis 38?

The Oceanis 38 is, first and foremost, a sailboat which means you have the option of sailing the traditional way or cruising at relatively high speed in a modern fashion.

Another exciting feature about this boat is that its interior can be customized greatly to suit your travel needs i.e. erecting bulkheads to partition the sleeping space for you and the kids or get rid of the bulkheads to create more space for you and your partner.

Just like any other modern sailboat out there, the 38 proffers numerous opportunities to explore the numerous dreamy coastlines, the seemingly endless waters and the countless adventures that come with them. So chartering this vessel sets you up for a fun, relaxing and memorable holiday to your coveted islands.

---

Conclusion

This is much there’s to know about Beneteau 38. As you’ve seen, its exterior is gorgeous, its interior highly changeable and engrossing while its performance top notch. So if you’ve been scouting for a good sailboat to charter for your upcoming holiday vacation, either solo or with family or friends, this would be a recommendation for you.

Interior

The interior design in the Jeanneau 64 is quite exceptional, with a touch of luxury here and there. If you’ve seen the photos of the interior, you already know what am talking about.

Anyway, the interior finish is way above average with several stylish touches such as the wooden sinks and leather trim all through. Depending on which one you will find, the interior structure is either made of oak with a light modern style or traditional, darker teak.

The cockpit is well segregated with clear separate social and working spaces, which means the guests and crew can go about their business without interference from either. Most of the space is occupied by a power-lounging pit and two supper comfortable bench-seats around two tables. The tables are completely adjustable –so you can adjust them to dining or lounging height.

You will find the working cockpit next to a range of Harken Rewind winches, Spinlock clutches, and deck organizers. There is also a small drinks fridge, wet –bar sink, and even a collapsible barbecue.

For sailors who are big on the performance and sailing characteristics of a boat, monohulls continue to be the holy grail.

Even among monohulls, sailors are partial towards boats with a longer waterline as they translate into impressive cruising miles.

Not surprisingly, Beneteau Oceanis 60 has been one of the best selling boats owing purely to its long distance sailing performance.

In this Beneteau Oceanis 60 review, however, I would show that this boat packs in much more than just its high octane cruising characteristics.

The makers have improved upon the established Berret Racoupeau hull, adding bells and whistles that are typically the preserve of custom-built boats.

---

Where Does the Oceanis 60 Sail?

The Oceanis 60 is a large boat capable of sailing comfortably over long distances.

It is not unusual to see this boat taking her owners over to the tropical islands near the equator during the fall season.

For those desirous of chartering this boat during the Mediterranean summer, several charter companies offer her in France, Croatia, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Belgium.

Whether it is the 3 or 4 cabin layout, you would discover that Oceanis 60 offers a terrific mix of luxury and performance, and one of the best ways to explore the Mediterranean and beyond.

---

Accommodation

As mentioned above, the Beneteau Oceanis 60 is available in two configurations of 3 and 4 cabins, each with their own separate heads.

The latter is strictly driven by the need to cater to the demands of the yacht charter industry.

The first thing to note, as you step inside the below deck area, is the abundant use of Alpi wood.

It has a luxurious look and feels, and designed to last in the salty marine environment. The crew quarter can accommodate two and comes with a head.

The layout is identical in both configurations, except that the master stateroom forward gets replaced with two separate cabins, each with their own heads.

While one of the staterooms on the starboard side features two separate single beds, it is also available in the double bed configuration.

To conclude, the Oceanis 60 can easily accommodate 6-8 people in the two versions, excluding the crew.

---

Interiors

Stepping down the 5 steps staircase, lit up with courtesy lights, you would come face to face with a truly cavernous saloon.

It becomes immediately apparent that the makers have put considerable thought in design, and spared no effort to ensure a truly opulent below the deck experience.

To the left of the stairs is the navigation station that can easily seat two. The navigation table itself is large to spread large maps, and there is plenty of room for all the modern gadgets and electronics.

The navigation table itself is large to spread large maps, and there is plenty of room for all the modern gadgets and electronics.

Forward to the stairs is the sofa with a cocktail table that can be converted into a bench to seat two.

While the saloon is truly cavernous in size, it still feels light and airy owing to the generously sized sunroofs placed at the back and the middle.

The galley is a moderately sized space with a sufficiently large countertop for food preparation.

On the other hand, for a boat that is designed to sail with a full complement of 10 people, the three burner stove feels inadequate.

That aside, the galley is generously equipped, featuring a large dishwasher space, rubbish disposal unit, and a Siemens washer.

In addition, there is a large refrigerator, a separate freezer, and a 100-liter icebox.

---

Exterior

The first thing you notice on the deck is the unusually large cockpit space where no less than 14 people can be accommodated in total comfort.

What I particularly appreciate is the large double hemp seats where a couple can enjoy sailing together, or a novice can pick up the nuances of sailing sitting beside the skipper.

As I mentioned at the beginning of this review, the Beneteau Oceanis 60 is designed for much more than pure sailing pleasure.

The designers of this boat have gone to extreme lengths to ensure that this boat does not disappoint casual sailors with its generous social spaces.

For example, the Oceanis 60 features an abundant aft sunning deck. This cleverly designed deck ensures that you do not run the risk of sprays and wind while being in close proximity to the helm station.

Other notable features include an extra wide side deck that makes moving to and from the forward deck a breeze, even in breezy conditions.

The placement of winches and having them electrically operated means the boat is ideal for short-handed sailing.

Below the aft deck lies a nifty garage where you can easily keep an inflatable dinghy.

---

---

Under sail

The Beneteau Oceanis 60 is powered by 150 hp diesel engine with a 600-liter fuel capacity.

Our skipper took us out on this boat in 20 knots of Mediterranean breeze, and the waters were challenging but manageable.

Initially, powered by the Volkswagen engine spinning at an efficient 3300 rpm, we achieved an impressive speed of well over 9 knots.

Subsequently, we set up the sail controls and got to witness the true sailing performance ability of this boat.

With consistent speeds of 11 knots, and occasionally hitting 13 knots, the boat proved itself in upwind conditions.

The boat also stayed dry, negotiating 5-foot seas without a hint of stress.

---

Why Sail the Oceanis 60?

1) A proven hull with an illustrious pedigree
2) Sheltered cockpit with abundant social spaces
3) A large interior that feels light, airy and welcoming.
4) Thoughtful round edged designs to keep people safe during turbulent passages
5) Use of quality materials, high-end appliances, and reliable gadgets

---

In Conclusion

Beneteau is unarguably the largest yacht maker in the world, and their domain expertise is best showcased in the Oceanis 60.

Make no mistake, the Oceanis 60 is a truly imposing vessel with all the modern comforts taken care of. And yet, it seems almost miraculous that boat of this size could be perfect for single-handed sailing.

The best part of the boat, apart from its superlative sailing performance and comfort, has to be the competitive price which is substantially less than a million.

There is no doubt that this boat is worth its price, both for private owners, and the charter industry.
