Choosing a Boat
Are Beneteau yachts suitable for ocean passages?
Production yachts are optimised for coastal and short offshore work; an ocean passage is possible but comfort and fatigue tolerance lag heavy-displacement designs.
Why it works this way
Where a crossing is planned, rig, keel attachment, bilge capacity and hatch sealing should be treated as a survey heading of their own. The decision rests on this boat’s condition rather than on the type.
