BENETEAU INTRODUCES THE SENSE (55')



MARION, SC, DECEMBER 15, 2011: Introduced a year ago, the Sense range delivered a new direction for the concept of living onboard in the open. First a 50 foot model was introduced, followed by a 43 and now a 55 footer has just been launched.

This newest Sense exhibits all of the attributes of the previous models in the Sense range; Open communication and movement between the salon and cockpit, easy access to the sea and exceptional accommodations in every living area, all in a style that has universal appeal. Plus the 55 adds more based upon the Beneteau Group know-how. As a result, in the forward part of the Sense (55) you will discover layouts similar to those of a 100’ CNB yacht.

There is a magnificent owner’s cabin, with some features often only seen in the world of the luxury yachts:
  • The finest finishes - (impeccable varnished wood, indirect lighting, fine materials).
  • The ample benefits - an oversized, separate shower; numerous practical stowage spaces; expansive floor area etc.


Welcoming visitors on board takes place in equally luxurious surroundings: 2 double VIP cabins entered through large pocket doors, front and side access to the berth and each of the guest cabins has its own ensuite head compartment.

Other key features of this new yacht: the choice of finishes. The possibility of a leather finish to certain parts of the furnishings, the use of high-gloss varnish, top of the line carpet or the chance to personalize the hull color are all tangible indications of our willingness to offer an exceptional, personalized sailing yacht within a budget that remains affordable.

With the Sense 55, the aim of Beneteau is to make the super yacht world accessible.

BENETEAU unveiled this new model at the Paris Boat Show December 3-11. The 55 foot SENSE will make its debut to the American market at the Strictly Sail Miami held February 17 to 21 at the Bayside Marina downtown

Beneteau USA, the American division of the world’s largest sailboat manufacturer, builds hundreds of 31-50 foot production sailboats in Marion, SC and imports power and sailing yachts up to 58 feet in length from its parent company in France.
