Beneteau · Greece Some sailing yachts are built around a couple; this one was drawn around a full crowd. The layout is unapologetically generous, and that generosity is precisely why she keeps being requested by large sailing parties and by families who cruise together rather than in shifts. Six cabins, up to twelve guests. Four of them are laid out with a double bed, one with a single bed, and one with bunk beds — a configuration that lets you place couples, a solo guest and the younger members of the group without anyone drawing the short straw. In practice, it means a week aboard where nobody is negotiating for space. Greece is the natural stage for her. Short hops between islands, long lunches at anchor, afternoons when the deck becomes the main living room and the water is simply an extension of it. A yacht of this volume rewards that rhythm: room to spread out when the group is together, and enough separation below to disappear for an hour with a book. Your crew handles the passage planning, the anchorages and the daily logistics, so the group can concentrate on the part that matters — deciding which bay to wake up in tomorrow.
