Research 2010 - Beneteau Sailboats - Beneteau 37

Just right for a family or with friends, the Beneteau 37 has a natural penchant for speed and agility. It is a yacht that brings many opportunities to the adventurers on your crew. For snorkelers, friends coming aboard or simply enjoying an al fresco shower with the hot/cold stow-able shower head, the transom becomes easily accessible through the tilting helmsman seat. When entertaining or relaxing dockside, you'll appreciate they easy walking access of the 37's ingenious design. With the offset transom passageway and generously wide cockpit, the living space and maneuvering space topside on this Finot-Conq design is remarkable.

It's been a very fulfilling day, and your Beneteau 37 has accommodated everyone's personal adventure. Time to go below. Stretch out and relax. You've something special planned for the night and your appetite is growing. Big skylight windows flood the salon space, galley and navigation area with natural light, coaxing cherry finished hardwood to a gratifying, pleasurable glow. Look about anywhere and you'll see the creative forethought of Beneteau artists at every turn - in every detail. Interior spaces offer enhanced headroom and more overall storage. Spacious cabins allow you to stretch out and relax. An over-sized head features ample space for a luxurious shower making freshening up that much easier. After that incredible meal, a final toast at the navigation station's full-sized chart table is in order as you contemplate your next exciting destination. Unless, of course you decide to stay put for another adventure-packed day.
