Beneteau Oceanis 52

The Oceanis 52 represents the evolution of the Oceanis range towards a modern, comfortable cruising concept, while maintaining a high level of performance, design, and customisation. Born from a development focused on the sailor’s experience, this yacht offers the perfect balance between safety, enjoyment, and style. With an elegant design by Biscontini, it sets a new standard for life on board. 

Exterior design

The Oceanis 52 features a sleek, fluid silhouette with a wider hull base that enhances stability and delivers a contemporary aesthetic. Its cockpit is 30% larger than that of the Oceanis 51.1, thanks to Biscontini’s new hull design and improved use of space all the way to the stern. 

The double C-shaped cockpit creates a surrounding, comfortable area, with height-adjustable tables and a central seat equipped with a fridge and grill.

Unlike previous models, it includes a central passageway that improves the connection between interior and exterior, making movement on board even more fluid. 

The manoeuvring area is clearly defined, with well-organised controls and a 12" screen providing full command while sailing. 

Interior design

The Oceanis 52 retains the spaciousness, brightness, and livability of the 51.1, but takes a step forward in quality and functionality. The gently sloping companionway leads to a bright, roomy saloon, where the C-shaped galley stands out. It features a full-size fridge, Corian worktops, and a serving hatch with storage space – all designed to provide greater autonomy on longer voyages. 

The interior ambiance blends sand oak furniture with high-end upholstery, thick foam cushions, and a wide range of fabric and colour options, creating a warm, elegant, and customisable environment. Every detail has been designed to enhance life on board, offering extra comfort and premium finishes compared to the previous model.

What we highlight

• Optimised hull design: The Oceanis 52 boasts a next-generation hull by Biscontini, with fluid lines and increased beam aft. This architecture provides 30% more cockpit space compared to the Oceanis 51.1, without compromising performance – ensuring superior exterior habitability. 
• Customisable layout: Designed to suit various sailing programmes, the Oceanis 52 is available with multiple interior layouts and material choices. Owners can select from a variety of finishes, fabrics, and configurations, including the option to add a forward crew or guest cabin. 
• Ready to sail: Easy to handle even with a small crew, thanks to the furling mast and self-tacking jib. For those seeking higher performance, the First Line Pack includes an extended mast and larger sail area, ensuring superior performance in any conditions.
