Oceanis Yacht 60: new Beneteau flagship unveiled

Oceanis Yacht 60: Beneteau unveils its new flagship

It is “the attention to every detail and the extraordinary result of it all” that makes a sailing boat a true yacht. So says Damien Jacob, Director of the Beneteau Group’s Sailing division, as he presents the boatyard’s new flagship sailing yacht, the Oceanis Yacht 60.

Elegance and sophistication come through in this ocean-going vessel, designed to be a houseboat. With a length of 18 meters, the new addition features a sleek silhouette and a slightly upturned bow, angled just enough to ensure less water resistance and smoother sailing.

It took the successful duo of Lorenzo Argento and Roberto Biscontini to design this yacht which is a masterpiece of space and proportions.

Like her younger sister, the deckhouse of the Oceanis Yacht 60 is low and unobstructed, and the two perfectly complementary and complete helm stations enjoy an open view of both the boat and the sea. This solution also facilitates sail trimming.

The same concept also applies to the tables and sun loungers in front of the helm stations, with L-shaped seating to starboard and port; in the centre between them is an easy walkway leading below deck.

Circulation on deck is excellent thanks to the side walkways that seamlessly connect the stern, helm station and bow. These are all features that allow easy handling even with a smaller crew.

A functional innovation is the bimini, supported by the mainsail arch, which is available in a rigid version as option. The bimini delineates the area clearly, keeps the ropes out and, thanks to the handrails, is also functional for safe movement.

The awning is adjustable, which guarantees air passage and shelter from the sun as required. The stern area is just as functional, the bathing platform is large and reveals the garage, which accommodates a tender up to 2.8 metres. Thanks to the installed roller system of the garage, launching and hauling the tender will be very easy, guaranteeing active stops and fun.

Beneteau Oceanis Yachts 60 – Interior

The interiors of this yacht are airy and bright, the generous spaces include a layout with a full beam galley amidships; to starboard there are an oven and dishwasher, while to port there is a fridge and pantry. The work spaces and other storage areas are also remarkable.

The saloon on the port side has a U-shaped sofa for 6 people that embraces the table, tactically lit by the window above the sofa backrests.

The shipyard offers the Oceanis Yacht 60 with 3 cabins and 3 heads and two optional finishes: light oak or dark oak. In the full-beam master cabin, the bed is placed on the starboard side with the head aft, natural light floods the room and the view of the sea is guaranteed by the side windows. There is also plenty of storage space for belongings.

The other two twin cabins are located aft. The shipyard’s distinctive cabinetry reveals a special attention to finishes: the woodwork blends perfectly with the white lacquers and upholstery. On-board systems are entrusted to Ship Control and Seanapps which facilitate control, management and monitoring of the yacht.

The Oceanis Yacht 60 is a 60-footer that feels like 62, a magic of space, a perceived and unabashed luxury in full Beneteau style, which we will be able to better appreciate live at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2022.
