Customizable Boat: Palm Beach
"EXCELLENCE IN CRUISING ON THE OCEANIS YACHT 54"
Roberto Biscontini and Lorzenzo Argento designed this free-flowing, marvelously nimble 54-footer, which sets the way for a new generation of high-end cruisers that maximize cockpit and interior layouts without sacrificing performance, practicality, or comfort. The yacht bears the recognizable DNA of the Oceanis family, a careful mix of form and function that makes her as beautiful as she is capable, as focused as she is versatile, equally prepared for a quick ocean journey or a leisurely double-handed twilight cruise. The Oceanis Yacht 54 genuinely represents the peak of modern monohull cruising design, with an emphasis on construction quality, high-end materials, and the unique vision that has always been a hallmark of the BENETEAU brand.
The Oceanis Yacht 54 features a state-of-the-art, perfectly-balanced hull that maximizes thrills in all situations, with a straight stem allowing for new interior volumes in the bow region and a maximum beam (16.3 feet) carried further aft. Movement on deck was prioritized, especially around the cockpit, which modernizes the traditional center cockpit design into a flush arrangement with distinct spaces dedicated to lounging and sailing. While transitioning to the foredeck, well-drawn coamings and high bulwarks promote safety. The large swim platform gives access to the sea, and when deployed, it shows that an eight-foot inflatable tender is stored beneath the cockpit. The Oceanis Yacht 54 has three draft options: shoal, deep, and performance.
The interior design goal of Lorenzo Argento was to create a comfortable, modern ambience with as much natural light and ventilation as feasible. The Oceanis Yacht 54 plans show a commitment to suit the expectations of modern-day owners by providing unsurpassed levels of comfort and abundant storage space through well-engineered, adaptable cabin arrangements. Tables and seating areas have been redesigned to be both convivial and functional, and access to all main systems and components is hidden in plain sight. There are two models available: a 3-cabin 2-head and a 3-cabin 3-head, both in light oak or walnut.
