When introduced the Beneteau Sense_won both Cruising World's "Boat of the Year" and Sail Magazine's "Best Boats", the most prestigious awards in the sailing industry.
The Sense line from Beneteau is another example of the company's innovation and leadership in further developing the sailboat market. Improving the "livability" of a sailboat quite frankly makes a lot of sense. The boats have a huge cockpit where logically most people spend most of the time. But rather than "go below" for that snack or drink why not just take two steps to the galley which is on a large raised salon deck. Here you can interact freely with the folks in the cockpit, and at night or during inclement weather you can lounge in a luxurious true deck salon that has large windows with great visibility. Some have said that the Beneteau Sense is the catamaran of monohulls. However as a sailor you don't want to give up that great feeling of the boat responding to the wind so the Sense is going to sail quickly and steadily just as Beneteau is known for.
Without question Beneteau is the most modern, technologically advanced and exciting performance cruiser in the world. Beneteau is a sailor's boat-with its legendary performance edge-it is quick, agile and responsive. At the same time Beneteau is an extraordinarily comfortable boat with lots of room in the cockpit and a huge bright salon. These new generation boats sport twin helms, mainsail arch, large window ports, huge swim platforms and a hard chine the full length of the boat.
Beneteau has developed very creative ways to customize the yacht to each buyer's taste. You can custom design your interior with choices of 4 different layouts and choices of wood color and wall fabric colors. And you can make an impressive statement in your harbor with a range of exterior hull colors-all very affordable.
Wish your Beneteau could pay for itself? It can, with our smart and incredibly flexible charter income programs. Your boat can generate significant income with our established partners in captained charter, bareboat charter, fractional sailing club, or sailing school. Unlike churn-and-burn charter programs, you have complete control over the amount of sailing time you enjoy. Plus, our unique "North/South" program allows you to use your boat in New England in the summer and in Florida or the Caribbean in the winter. You will appreciate year-round sailing opportunities and a healthy income, plus significant tax advantages. We will be glad to supply details on any of these programs.

Beneteau Sense 55: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Beneteau Sense 55 is the largest model in the Sense line, designed with three primary purposes: luxurious cruising, comfortable club day racing, and serving as an exceptional entertainment platform. Its design emphasizes versatility, with a spacious cockpit that acts as the central gathering area for all activities.
Exterior Design and Cockpit
The Sense 55 features twin steering wheels positioned as far aft as possible, creating an expansive cockpit space. The centerpiece is a large U-shaped settee that comfortably seats five people under sail and up to eight for dining. The table is adjustable with three height settings, allowing it to function as a dining table, cocktail or coffee table, or a lounging platform. To port, a wide bench seat accommodates four adults, and aft are twin helm seats wide enough for two adults each. Overall, the cockpit can hold at least 13 adults under sail. For water sports or anchoring, the helm seats swing up to provide unobstructed access to the teak swim platform, which spans the full width of the stern. This platform includes large storage compartments for swim gear and water toys, a five-step boarding ladder with teak treads and handholds, and deep compartments under the seating for scuba equipment such as air compressors and tanks. The engine room is accessible via a hatch in the platform. Optional features include a dodger fitting the arch over the coach roof and a canopy or bimini for cockpit protection. An optional spoiler arch at the stern supports equipment like wind generators, satellite domes, and davits for a large tender.
Interior Living Spaces
Below deck, the salon and galley benefit from abundant natural light streaming through 15 windows, port lights, and hatches from five directions, illuminating the 133 square foot area with six feet six inches of headroom throughout. To port, a settee seats six, with an optional fold-away seat on the island adding space for two more. The deluxe adjustable table offers multiple height settings for dining or cocktails, while an optional electrically actuated TV rises from the island for entertainment. Adjacent to the companionway is a chart table housing electronic navigation gear and the electrical panel. The galley features approximately 15 linear feet of counter space, including the island, which doubles as a sideboard during gatherings. Designed for efficiency and safety underway, the island provides support when heeling on a starboard tack. The galley accommodates two to three people simultaneously, a rarity on boats of this size. Standard equipment includes a three-burner gas stovetop with oven, a refrigerator with dual-opening doors, and a top-loading freezer. Storage is ample, with every available space utilized for provisions and cookware. The only noted improvement would be higher fiddles on the counters to better secure items underway.
Private Accommodations
The Sense 55 sleeps six guests across three staterooms, each with a private head. The master stateroom is located forward, accessed via a long passageway. It is bright and airy, featuring light-colored fruitwood joinery and ambient lighting. The bed measures 5 feet 7 inches wide at its broadest point and 6 feet 8 inches long. Storage includes his-and-hers hanging lockers with multiple shelves and a shoe bin, as well as a vanity or desk with a stool and additional cubbies. The master head is divided into two compartments: a large stall shower to port and a separate toilet and sink area to starboard. Uniquely, the two guest staterooms feature double beds over 5 feet wide at the head and 6 feet 7 inches long, made possible by pocket doors. Each guest cabin includes a hanging locker with shelves, overhead storage cabinets, large port lights, and nearly identical wet heads forward.
Conclusion
The Beneteau Sense 55 is a well-rounded yacht that successfully integrates the needs of cruising, day racing, and entertaining. Its spacious cockpit, bright and functional interior, and comfortable private accommodations make it adaptable to a variety of sailing lifestyles. With a comprehensive list of options, owners can customize the boat to suit their cruising preferences and geographic requirements, making the Sense 55 a versatile and appealing choice in its class.
