Oceanis Yacht 60 is a true bluewater beauty

OPTIMUM DESIGN FOR SMOOTH SAILING

The huge cockpit offers safe, free-flowing movement throughout. Wide side-decks run round the helm stations and offer obstacle-free circulation to the foredeck. This unique layout reinvents the central cockpit concept.

Although the two identical tables and sunbathing areas are standard on Oceanis Yachts, special attention has been paid to the helm consoles. With two real helm stations, controlling the boat’s course is as easy as trimming the sails, windward or leeward. The owner can carry out all the usual manoeuvres without leaving the helm, which is a definite plus on a big boat when sailing short-handed.

An innovative bimini is supported by the mainsail arch, keeping sheets safe and out of the way, and comes in an optional rigid version. Maintained by two lateral supports, the central section slides forward to adjust the amount of cover in the cockpit. Depending on the weather and the time of day, the crew will always find the best compromise between protection and airflow.

And since cruising goes hand in hand with anchorages, the large bathing platform provides access to the tender garage, a must for a boat this size, capable of housing a 2.8-metre jet-propelled tender. A system with double wires and guiding rollers makes for effortless launching and retrieval, promising active stopovers and lots of fun.

Lastly, onboard systems such as “Ship Control” and “Seanapps” respectively

manage all the boat’s systems and make for effortless maintenance and monitoring so that you can relax while you are cruising – and when you’re not.

STYLISH INTERIOR SPACE FOR SHARING IN GOOD COMPANY

You are met with a great deal of space and light as you go down the companionway and an overall impression of volume and balanced proportions. The Oceanis Yacht 60’s galley is now positioned midship, where you are less likely to be bothered by movement, and it is full beam, with storage and a fridge to port, and a sink, oven and dishwasher to starboard. There is substantial storage space, and worktop surfaces are ample.

The saloon layout provides a variety of spaces to enjoy social life onboard; six people can sit comfortably around the table, which faces a lounge area with a soft sofa, ideal for relaxing at sea or anchor. And the curved chart table allows the skipper to swivel around and take part in conversations on board!

Available in a three-cabin version with three heads, the Oceanis Yacht 60 comes with two different finishes: walnut as standard and light oak as an option. True to their long cabinetmaking tradition, the craftsmen at BENETEAU devoted particular attention to the woodwork.

Many moulded wood features blend harmoniously with large lacquered white surfaces and exclusive upholstery. Together they create a distinctly stylish atmosphere.

The most demanding owners will love the master cabin. Once past the ensuite head, the space opens onto a starboard bed lined with extensive storage spaces. This guarantees privacy and, at the same time, offers a stunning view of the sea.

The linings have been chosen carefully to create a feeling of hull depth in association with the portholes. The stretched fabric hugs the curved shapes of the coach roof and the hull to create perfect visual continuity inside this wonderfully relaxing, luxurious space.

With a clean design, optimised layout and top-quality fittings, the new Oceanis Yacht 60 is a clear step toward excellence. Built-in Saint Gilles Croix de Vie, France, the Oceanis Yacht 60 will show at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2022.
