At the Cannes Yachting Festival in September, Beneteau will host the World Premieres of the two models. The new Oceanis 52 by Biscontini-Nauta Design ushers in the 8th generation of Oceanis cruising yachts and blends power, elegance, innovation, and lineage.
Within the Beneteau brand, this iconic concept has boldly united style and comfort for nearly 40 years. This premium yacht redefines standards of comfort and craftsmanship, giving people who love sailing the confidence and freedom to explore the world’s seas in safety.
The first of a new generation, the Oceanis 52 is the result of meticulous craftsmanship by a dedicated team, and it is perfectly aligned with the expectations of today’s sailors.
For over two years, constant dialogue with a panel of Beneteau owners and our large network of distributors worldwide has helped us understand evolving sailing practices and uncover good opportunities for improvement – always focussing on the end customer. This collective expertise informed the design process led by the architect Roberto Biscontini, and the team from Nauta Design along with twenty specialists at Beneteau, resulting in a highly integrated and coherent new Oceanis yacht. But they did not start from scratch for the Oceanis 52.
Building on the success of the Oceanis 51.1, the bestseller in its category for six years, it capitalises on 39 years of continuous innovation elevating the cruising experience.
In every sense an owner’s yacht, it seamlessly blends elegance with practicality, and innovation with safety.
From the moment you lay eyes on the Oceanis 52 you will be captivated by its sleek stern lines and the perfect balance of its elegant profile. The pronounced chine conveys a striking feeling of energy and power, while the living space in the generously proportioned cockpit – enhanced by a maximum beam extending all the way to the transom, an efficient Biscontini hull hallmark – is second to none, and 30 percent larger than the Oceanis 51.1. Intuitive ergonomics are at the heart of this inspired design.
The double C-shaped benches form a flowing, diamondshaped layout that promotes smooth, natural movement from the companionway to the lifting swim platform. The layout is cleverly designed to match every moment of a cruise, whether it is enjoying an aperitif, sharing a meal, or lounging in the sun.
With two height-adjustable tables, the space easily adapts to crew member preferences, giving everyone the freedom to relax or move around as they please. With comfort in mind, the generous central seating area features a fridge and a plancha grill, perfect for a great time at anchor. In this layout, the sundeck extends the cockpit on both sides of the companionway, in addition to two more lounging areas on the foredeck.
When cruising, the aft cockpit becomes a manoeuvring station, designed to make handling intuitive. The separation of the primary and secondary winches enhances deck organisation and simplifies line stowage, while the step improves access to the side deck making for safe movement on board. At the helm, the skipper navigates with precision using a 12-inch screen guiding the twin-rudder hull with ease, propelled by a powerful rig. Tacking is effortless, thanks to the self-tacking jib or large genoa. A Code Zero set on the bowsprit delivers solid average speeds when sailing downwind, without having to leave the cockpit.
Sailors looking for a real thrill will love the First Line version. Its taller mast and overlapping genoa add an extra 49-square-metres of all-important sail area. This high-performance setup combines speed and comfort, delivering an even more enjoyable cruising experience.
Every detail inside the Oceanis 52 reflects Beneteau’s commitment to creating a stylish and inspiring experience. The Oceanis yacht’s signature gently sloping companionway, draws you into a living space where the C-shaped galley blends seamlessly into the design.
Fitted with a full-height refrigerator and the option of a second one, bringing the total capacity to 450 litres, it offers essential storage for extended family cruises.
Corian worktops and a service hatch with plenty of storage space show our attention to detail, turning meal preparation into an everyday pleasure. At the heart of the yacht, the saloon is designed to inspire unforgettable moments of connection and togetherness. Top quality upholstery using high-density foam, offers exceptional comfort, while sanded oak woodwork and elegant trims create a warm, inviting atmosphere.
With a choice of three elegant fabric colours the yacht can be customised, reflecting Beneteau’s dedication to creating an interior just for you. Understanding that true comfort hinges on tranquillity, Beneteau has painstakingly perfected the Oceanis 52’s soundproofing. In addition to screwed-down soles, jack-operated hatches provide access to technical areas, significantly reducing background noise.
The standard Yanmar engine with a lifting propeller delivers a generous 110hp and smooth, silent sailing, making for optimal performance.
The focal point of this amazing interior, is the impressive owner’s suite, which is spacious and has a premium feel. The ultimate in comfort, it has an upholstered headboard, a spacious 160cm bed, and plenty of storage space: two hanging lockers, large coaming compartments and a large drawer under the bed head.
Natural light pours through large portholes, which offer a stunning sea view, while anti-glare spotlights and warm white ambient LEDs create an intimate atmosphere in the evening.
Every detail of the Oceanis 52 has been designed to deliver an exceptional sailing experience, where design, elegance, and comfort come together to create unforgettable moments at sea.
The Oceanis 52 redefines the standards of fast cruising monohulls. Every line, every material, every innovation has been designed to enhance the experience at sea, whether alone or with family. With its diamond-shaped cockpit, integrated chart table, smooth descent, and attention to materials, it embodies a bold and demanding approach. The forward cabin, featuring a large rectangular bed, offers rare comfort. A sailing yacht designed for those who sail with a single ambition: to become the reference.
The Oceanis 47 is the result of a partnership between Finot-Conq and Nauta Yacht Design, and it expertly captures the DNA of the Oceanis line. Building on nearly 40 years of trusted know-how, this cruising yacht marries sleek design, luxurious comfort, and marine innovations for ocean sailing. True to the Beneteau spirit, the Oceanis 47 delivers the perfect blend of performance and onboard comfort, giving ocean lovers the freedom to explore the world confidently.
The second of a new generation of Oceanis cruising yachts, the Oceanis 47 is the product of the expert craftsmanship of a passionate team attuned to the needs of today’s sailors.
For over two years, through constant dialogue with a panel of Beneteau owners, our network of distributors – the largest worldwide – and charter companies, we have tracked evolving sailing habits to reimagine a cruiser more closely aligned with current uses, more comfortable and always centred on the sailor. By putting the sailor’s experience first, this approach has led to a more capable and better designed cruising yacht.
You will love the Oceanis 47 for its sleek aft lines and the perfect balance of its elegant profile. The pronounced chine gives the cruising yacht a sporty feel, while the generously proportioned cockpit made possible by the full beam design extending to the transom – a Finot-Conq hull feature – provides unparalleled living space aboard.
Offering more space and a better layout than its predecessors, the cockpit is now the ultimate gathering spot, designed for effortless manoeuvring and real comfort under sail or at anchor. Every detail on deck has been designed to bring people together without ever compromising on safety.
The L-shaped cockpit features comfortable seating and two large tables that open up the space, allowing easy access and a relaxed flow throughout.
The choice of a closed cockpit makes for safer sailing, particularly for families, providing extra aft seating, complete with storage lockers, creating a versatile area that can easily be used as an outdoor galley with a plancha grill, while the open cockpit offers ample and direct access to the sea.
Relaxation comes naturally on the Oceanis 47, with sunbathing areas aft of the cockpit and on either side of the companionway.
This spacious design means that everyone can take time for themselves or enjoy being together throughout the day.
The teams at Beneteau have placed an emphasis on protection, with biminis – available in fixed or folding versions – designed to improve the crew’s comfort significantly in all weather conditions.
The Oceanis 47 comes in several layouts. The owner version features three cabins and two heads, a real chart table, delivering exceptional comfort, with a focus on interior details creating a luxurious atmosphere.
The Elegance Pack creates a warm, sophisticated atmosphere: solid Alpi wood saloon table, owner’s bed with upholstered headboard, smoked mirrors at the back of the bookcase, pleated blinds in the saloon and tasteful trim details on certain pieces of furniture – all thoughtfully chosen to enhance the space with understated elegance.
The living space is generous and bright, perfect for entertaining, cooking, reading or just peacefully relaxing and gazing out to sea. The Corian worktop combines a modern style with outstanding durability, making it ideal for long-term use.
Centrally positioned in this elegant interior, the owner’s suite offers a true heaven of comfort. Bright and spacious, it is generously proportioned and has detailed trims creating a distinctly premium onboard experience.
The 160cm double bed, featuring an upholstered headboard, offers a welcoming place to rest, while ample storage – including two hanging lockers, spacious coaming compartments, and a large drawer under the bed – make it easy to keep things shipshape. During the day, large portholes flood the cabin with natural light and offer uninterrupted sea views. At night, gentle, adjustable lighting creates a cosy atmosphere perfect for unwinding.
You can personalise your interiors to match your style with a choice of three trim atmospheres. Sunset brings a Mediterranean feel with warm terracotta and sandy tones. Pacific captures the essence of the tranquil lagoon, with clean lines, soft white light, and the calm of a summer day spent in a cove with clear waters. Ivory delivers timeless elegance through soft, natural beige tones.
The Oceanis 47 is all about the joy of sailing. Easy to handle and with a wide choice of layouts available, this fast, high-performance cruising yacht can be tailored to any sailing program. The standard version is fitted with an in-mast furling system and a self-tacking jib, making for excellent manoeuvrability, even with a small crew.
For sailors looking for more excitement, the First Line Pack features a taller mast and larger sail area, unlocking the yacht’s full performance potential in all points of sail.
Every detail of the helm station’s ergonomics has been carefully designed to meet sailors’ needs, with safety, performance, and clear visibility in mind. The consoles house 12-inch screens for clear, precise navigation data. Everything is within easy reach, from the windlass and winches to the engine controls, making manoeuvring a breeze.
The Beneteau brand has designed the boat for life on board: a gathering of friends, a solitary nap, a week or a year of sailing. Designed for long-term cruising, the Oceanis 47 can carry much more than just the essentials.
