Beneteau Oceanis Yacht 62 for sale in La Paz, Mexico

Belowdecks, the saloon features a portside L-shaped lounge facing a centerline settee with an adjustable table in between. To starboard is a straight-line galley, separated from the saloon by a console that also holds a pop-up flat screen TV and a bottle holder.
The galley includes a three-burner Eno stove/oven, a microwave, Vitrifrigo top and side-loading refrigeration, an Isotherm icemaker, a Dometic wine cooler, an Edesta dishwasher and twin sinks. At first glance you see none of this, though, as it's all hidden beneath gray Corian countertops or behind mahogany cabinetry with overhead lockers finished in a shiny white lacquer.

The forward-facing navigation desk is to port and close to the companionway for easy communication with the cockpit. A third B&G plotter, a Schreiber digital bus panel and USB charging plugs surround the large L-shaped desk, which also includes an integrated laptop space.

The master stateroom forward benefits from a foyer that adds a bit of privacy for the owner, since you cannot see into the cabin from the saloon due to the winding corridor that leads to it. There's also a Splendide washer/dryer combo and a large pantry. A built-in bookcase is located forward of the padded tower that hides the compression post. With the raised cabin top, there is 6ft 11in of headroom at the foot of the bed, and the whole suite is light and bright due to

the twin opening overhead hatches and the rectangular hull windows that you can see out of from bed.

Guest accommodations include twin aft cabins with ensuite heads. One head also serves as the day head. The starboard cabin has an interior door for access to the Onan 11.5 kW genset as well as to the back of the Yanmar 170 HP engine. (Access to the front of the diesel is via the companionway steps.) Motoring can be achieved at 8.5 knots with the throttle set at 2,000 rpm, where the vessel burns about 3gph. An even better cruising speed can be achieved at 6.5 knots and 1,400 rpm, where fuel consumption settles in at just over a gallon per hour. The 62 moves surprisingly easily thanks to her code O set up. Able to sail steadily at 6.7 to 7 knots in 10 knots of breeze.
