I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Chris Beeson is in a class of his own. One of the finest presenter and reviewers of yachts I’ve ever listened too!
I love the way this guy reviews boats. I've seen him do it a few times, he doesn't berate the boat, but just nonchalantly lists off everything that's less than stellar. A good critic.
I am really not familiar with that area , since I only have 6 weeks a year to sail on the open seas . So far in the med ,( Croatia, Italy , Greece ) and the Caribbean , where I have sailed , I am confident this boat would suit me just fine . Greetings from Hungary , Lake Balaton
I really appreciate the honesty and thoroughness of your reviews. Not like a selling video. :-)I hope to see reviews on recent boats. Discovery 48 perhaps?Take care!
Awesome review as always! However i do have a request and that is a long and detailed review of my absolute favorite sailing yacht the BENETEAU OCEANIS 55. I would absolutely love to see a full on review on it. I have only seen it once on a boat show in Sweden but i didnt get a good look at it since there where so many people on it and the line was so long it take forever to get on it and have a look and feel. I hope it will be possible! Cheers !
***** Thanks for the tip I'll look for a french one when I'm ready to buy as for below the water line I would never buy any boat with out having it hauled out and surveyed.
...forget about everything of this great boat; the idea of the "mirror-waveline" is reeeeeaally awesome! why aren't there more people, that have foliatecs on there boats? for cars its a normal thing... why not with boats?! great idea! - and by the way; thanks a lot to all your GREAT videos and reviews! ;)
At sea the front of the boat rocks up and down the most, while the back got the least movement. Therefore you would want to sleep where there is the least movement. If planning on sleeping at all.
One of the major problems we have had was delivery time, and build time. 6 months is what we were quoted through a competitor. HAHAHAAAAAAHAHAAA!!! 20 months later.. where o where...
Chris is great! This boat illustrates how boat interiors are evolving towards simplest and least compicated manufacturing, as he opens the table I immediately feel that floppy cheap cornered movingeverywhere light breakseasily willnotlastlong ikea feel. Pathetic. That robust cozy well detailed aestetic old feel of beneteau is long gone. All went down into the squared furniture style from Elan and Hanse. I guess sales figures justified it. Sad That middle rail thingie in the cockpit? That would be the absolute number 1 for me for not to buy. Who wants to start a boat ownership with a steel rail removal and see the cockpit floor base attachment every day (what was this here?)
Audio is way over compressed, lap mic is on the left channel. Hard to understand because of poor post production, it sounds like a preset compressor in Premiere. Love the content of the vids though!
This guy look like he hate this job apology’s for been rude but he just opens a door and close shut done explain at least what the doors are where and what is anyway that’s my opinion 😂
Definitely not nearly as impressive of a boat as I would expect from beneteau.. honestly, I think they're 20 year old boats are put together a little better than this..
YACHTING MOUNTHLY REALLY LACKS OVERALL REVIEW OF THE YACHTS! 70% OF THEIR PORAGRAMES ARE ABOUT HOW MANY LOCKERS AND HOW MUCH STORAGE A YACHT HAS! SAD!!!
Like the way the parrot doing the review, parrots just repeat the same thing all the time, he just brushes past the subject of access for maintenance. As someone who has had the misfortune to have done maintenance on these boats I would say the are the worst I have ever come across for maintenance. If the parrot says something might be a bit hard to get at read that as impossible. Buyer beware.

His highest praise is when he says he’d be ‘happy with this boat’
Only reviews I trust.
Cheers
I really wish they would do more reviews. I like his candor. Of all the people doing sailboat reviews, he is far and above the best in my opinion.
I wish the videos didn't include heavy nose breathing/whistling.
Your reviews are the very best mate, great job wish you would do more.
An honest review rather than trying to sell the boat...Thank you
This video is fantastically detailed. It was immensely interesting to watch. Please keep them going!

Excellent practical reviews for boaters ,with information that that really matters , and no sales pitches.
Amen!
would you sail a Benneteau around Australia ..?
I am really not familiar with that area , since I only have 6 weeks a year to sail on the open seas . So far in the med ,( Croatia, Italy , Greece ) and the Caribbean , where I have sailed , I am confident this boat would suit me just fine .

I can listen to this guy talk about boats all day long.
Very through review. Amazing facilities and luxuries. Thank you.
Very thorough, thanks for the work put into this review!
when i heard this voice i feel relaxed i feel like i'm in sailboat :)
Great review. Spot on in terms of the pros and cons. Nice to hear both!
Beneteau did a lot of research about how their owners DONT sail their boats.

I like hearing a sailors review from the point of view of access to mechanical.
He gave it at the end - "it's not good, but if you buy this boat that's probably somebody else's job." hehe. I wish...
***** I haven't heard this claim good thing I'm saving for a old 2001 Beneteau CC. I could never afford one of the brand spanking new ones.

The music is horrifc; the content is excellent. 😎👌

good job on the review
Good video with expert advise! Thank you!
great video and review..thanks
Whatever did happen to these reviews? Easily some of the most informative, and honest reviews I’ve seen.
TheJamesthe13 honest reviews won’t get future boat tests as they can diminish the buyers market
really like this boat very nice indeed
Did he suggest the owners cabin be at the back at 12:30 ??? And if so why ????I'm New to this world and wondered why this would make a difference

Nice review! one question: which boat will you recommend for a one man crew around cape horn?
Nah, I was thinking of something a bit more "whale resistant" :D
Great review...
I miss this guys reviews..
One of the major problems we have had was delivery time, and build time. 6 months is what we were quoted through a competitor. HAHAHAAAAAAHAHAAA!!! 20 months later.. where o where...
Lovely boat, too expensive!
Nice backrest at the nav station. Not.
but where are you now ?
Is this kind of boat what they call a Dock Dolly? For entertainment only. Rarely motored about the marina bay.

I just volunteered to crew.

But where R U ?
вот этот мужик все правильно объясняет молодец)))))

Didn't show the engine and room
NICE BOAT
STORAGE AND LIGHTING IS AMAZING IN THIS BOAT
Price $$? ?
Gel coat decor.
I LIKE IT ...
40 degrees.
No back support at nav station and too far forward.
What an accent... Terrific,
Maravilhoso!.
Great review, don't like the boat so much.

great place to be, so show the place ?????????????????????????????????????????????
As always I am engrossed.
Marina boat.
Need to remove Monthly from its name.
Michael Zietlow oh I don't know ... his enthusiasm levels seemed quite in in step with my own when the topic is "the "monthly's"

Not super impressed... I think you should just do yourself a favor and buy a Amel.
