For those wondering, hull designs are either short draught keel or deep draught bulb keel, both with dual spade rudders. Not sure why Beneteau decided to go with dual spades on a blue water cruiser of this size, but alright then.
I get the feeling the Beneteau is more made for a good time in the harbour, not so much for long-range sailing. Many things which can break and which are difficult to repair if you are somewhere at an ocean…
This boat is a dream for repair shops. After a few years, if not from the beginning this boat will see mechanics on a monthly basis. Though it is really beautiful.
For some years iv been asking B to come up with a solid doger as an option . We dont all sail in the sun & warm climate . It should be an option for all there range from say 39 ft. upwards .
I WANT ONE! The only question or concern I have pertains to the main sail. I’m undecided on mast furling vs boom furling, especially on a boat this beautiful with such clean lines from the water line.
Jeanneau looks very nice however the 3 year world wide coverage is misleading. I bought 410 and within 6 months had problem with the engine. I wrote emails after emails to Jeanneau and did not receive any response. The dealer just stated that my expectations were too high it usually takes many days to fix a problem like this. That is world wide coverage.
How to pull out a dinghy off the bay in case of electric failure due to a hull breach? There's just too much electrics around asking for a trouble in a salt waters
Lovely boat, but for a 62 ft yacht the owner cabin is cramped and has no headroom for a tall person and the two guest cabins are a frigging joke. It’s nice to have a wide open deck level aft cockpit, but that robs headroom in the aft quarters and the only way to utilize that space is to either have a dingy garage or lots of storage. Nice exterior lines, nice helm position and beautiful large cockpit, beautiful lounge, roomy galley and nice nav station, but the rest is ..... well, not much to be desired. That’s why I’ll rather take the Amel 60 even though I’m not a huge fan of the center cockpit, but under the deck is where the new Amel 60 delivers way more than most other brands. The owner’s aft cabin is large and beyond the expectations for a 60 footer yacht and the two symmetrical guest cabins at the front are roomy and well laid out each having their own heads and showers. Sorry Beneteau, Amel wins the new 60 ft range !
Wonderful boat! Though The boat I really want is an Aluminum Pilot house version of a Southerly 37/38 for a liveaboard and equipped for extended off-grid adventures and single handed sailing.....both out of my financial reach.
I own a Beneteau 393 and will likely go for something in the 45 foot range next. But honestly, this Beneteau isn't very attractive and doesn't look like much fun to sail. The galley is a really bad idea, unless you only use it at the dock. Nav station and cabins look okay, but the headroom over the master cabin bed is too short. The boat doesn't have great lines, so you're buying this for a lot of comfort. Absolutely not a sailors boat, but they'll sell a few.
How fast is this boat? Is it going to be 2x faster than a 45' cruising catamaran? I like Cats, but I don't like going too darn slow. I want to sail around the world, but not too darn slow! Can I lighten up this sort of design, and turn it into a fast moving sail boat for 2?
Maybe a smaller Beneteau SE or a J111 is what you want? I think this boat is a reasonable compromise. Sure, you don't have the space & luxury of a big Monti Carlo (same company) or the speed & lightness of a J. It is in fact decent competition for the larger Hanses. This is not the type of boat you'll be sailing much faster than under power, very often.
Just like the 1% have gotten x100 richer in the last 20 years the yachts have gone up in size and price to accommodate them. First boat show I went to in 1981, a big boat was 30+ feet and there were lots under 25'. Last boat show I went to, the smallest yacht was 30' and £100,000. (not counting dinghy's). A friend of mine with more money than me thought he was lucky and clever buying a 25 year old Westerly 41 Oceanlord for a good price before he had sold his older 31' moody. Anyway he put the Moody up for sale and got little response but as he was still paying marina fees for it he had to let it go for what would be termed a bargain. The fact is, I would have bought it for what he sold it for, circa £15K as I knew the boat well and it had a newish engine and sails, however the cost of keeping it was insane. The way it is today, the rich can buy these new 50'+ yachts as a matter of course but the people buying them later in the second hand market are up to their necks in mortgages and student debt etc so the market for them is almost dead.
@@johnsergei Paid crew strangers? Saw more big, professionally crewed yachts and motor yachts in the Med this year than ever before. Very few self sailed sailing yachts under 40"
Never liked the tender garage concept(a huge, borderline moronic, waste of space), never liked anything but a center cockpit and aft main cabin layout... Sooo... not the boat for me..
@@antoncarmoducchi6057 there are more people who buy 60+ feet boats without a tender garage than people who buy one with tender garage. A tender garage is designed for a tourist boat. Amel, Hallberg Rassy, Conquest, Hylas, Oyster... actually there's not a reputable boat builder on the market that's stupid enough to drill a big hole in its hull. Sailors don't like big holes in their hulls. Sailors do like solid hulls, and you're quite a moron to talk about topics you know nothing about. And for a bluewater live aboard boat, space is ALWAYS an issue with almost any boat.
i might be a minority of one, but i think beneteau has lost a few steps. i don't really know about their hull performance; or the quality of their build. but just as a matter of taste, their interior design sucks. the colors are drab. nothing really matches. it's just not a tight design.
Ernie Tetrault Dude is your ego so fragile that you’re reading and replying so emotionally to a 2 month old post about the legitimacy of a word? And ultimately reiterated my point that a captain is master of a ship, not a small pleasure craft? And signed off so venomously? Not really the actions of a clearheaded master, are they? So I suspect you’re a phoney.

Gorgeous boat
Where's the review, sounds more like a promotion video?
America
It’s on Beneteau’s own channel, so of course it’s a promotional video.
This is boat porn for my poor self. Ive sailed 4 continents on an Oceanis 45 though. Just an outstanding cruiser.

Superb concise yet comprehensive exposition of this excellent sailing yacht; great job sir!

The most detailed and professional videos thank you so much. You guys are the best 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I wonder if this yacht can be manned by one?
I don think so
Doable but terribly demanding and only manageable by an experienced sailor
It’s doable for sure
I know what to buy instead of trawler. I wonder if this is easy to shorthanded for long weekend trip.
Ok its a beautiful boat but how does she handle ?

OnTheWay The Amel is a boat for cruisers. This Beneteau is a boat for charters. Two different concepts.
The master cabin has 7'1" of headroom. Unless you play center in the NBA, that's plenty.
Hey, why this guy sounds like the lawyer Howard Hamlin from HHM in Better Call Saul? so funny
I'll take it she is a beautiful lady just the right size for my family but you would have to donate her to me only a dream aye
Love the solid cockpit
what a nice boot!

The crew cabin toilet right next to the bunk, just like in prison.

I guess it is not a bluewater sailboat, but a coastal/bay cruiser
Jesus they went all out on this thing. Now all I need is $1,500,000.
i am closer to you.i need 1.487.000 dolars.lucky me
You can buy a much nicer boat by buying used if you have $1.5 million US to spend.
I like it, i will take one... when im rich
Na, 90 foot Monti Carlo (same company). This is a decent boat though.
How much is that ??

Love that boat
I love this yacht ...
That galley is just a poor design. Obviously the designer never did any extensive cruising.
Quanto costa?
No battens in the mainsail?
@Roger Rarebit I know it won't work, but how does the leech not flap itself to death?
I’ll take two please
She’s stunning but the bench style galley feels like your living in the kitchen of a small flat/apartment 😔
Does some rich guy or woman wanna buy one of those for me, with all costs covered?..please..thanks.. 😊
stunning boat.)
Looks more like something to show off in port.
Шикарно
Какая красота)))
It's a caravan on a hull
I really hate the stripe on the outside. Seems like a throwback to motorboats from the 80s, who knows what it is doing here!

So, the idea of a very wealthy couple sharing a basic motorboat with 5 strangers in Gilligan's Island would not apply today?

Super
they never put prices because they are ashamed ? im guessin 1.5
Hi Mike all our prices are accessible on our website. Depending where you are in the world, the options pricing may vary.
Inside helm missing. I don’t believe it. Designers my backside.

What if F was with that crew cabin. Thats worse than a jail cell. A toilet next to a bed. Horrible feature on an otherwise amazing vessel
It looks like a nice sailboat but really is a cheap POS that none with experience would leave the sight of land on.
bay boat!
@Funny Stuff Would you care to expand on that comment? I am not trying to be beligerent, it is out of curiosity.
J'aime pas car c'est un voilier de mouillage je préfère un voilier baroudeur avec en plus le confort comme exploration 51
Not a fan. Prefer center cockpit
That hard top maybe practical but looks horrible.
Nul, demasiado aparatos eléctricos
Les couleurs sont affreuses, on dirait un oreo!
Bunch of muppets. Calling yourself a captain of a 62' boat is like calling yourself a pilot of a paper plane.
