Specifications

The two architects behind this free-flowing, wonderfully nimble 54-footer are Roberto Biscontini and Lorzenzo Argento, whose creation paves the way for a new generation of high-end cruisers that optimize cockpit and interior layouts without any sacrifices to performance , practicality, or comfort.

The yacht carries the unmistakable DNA of the Oceanis range, a delicate balance of form and function that make her as pretty as she is capable, and as focused as she is versatile, equally ready for a fast ocean passage or a leisurely double-handed sunset cruise. With an emphasis on build quality, high-end materials, and the innovative vision that has always been a staple of the BENETEAU brand, the Oceanis Yacht 54 truly represents the pinnacle of the modern monohull cruising design.

EXTERIOR DESIGN

With a straight stem allowing for new interior volumes in the bow area, and a maximum beam (5 m) carried further aft, the Oceanis Yacht 54 offers a state-of-the-art, perfectly balanced hull that maximizes thrills in all conditions.

Movement on deck was given special attention, particularly around the cockpit, which modernizes the traditional center cockpit design into a flush layout with distinct areas dedicated to lounging and sailing. Aptly drawn coamings and high bulwarks provide increased safety while transiting to the foredeck, and access to the sea is provided by the spacious swim platform, which, when deployed, reveals the space below the cockpit to store an eight-foot inflatable tender.

The Oceanis Yacht 54 is available with two different drafts: 2,50 m (standard), 1,95 m (option). 

Interior Design

Lorenzo Argento’s objective in designing the interior was to create a warm, modern atmosphere with as much natural light and ventilation as possible.

The Oceanis Yacht 54’s layouts reflect a desire to meet the needs of modern-day owners, through well-engineered, versatile cabin arrangements that provide unrivaled levels of comfort and capacious storage space. Tables and seating areas have been reimagined to offer both conviviality and practicality, and access to all major systems and components hides in plain sight.

There are two versions available, a 3-cabin 2-head or a 3-cabin 3-head, and both can be built using light oak or walnut. 

Every detail of the Oceanis Yacht 54 has been meticulously examined to become one with the crew and the sea.

She is, at a glance, unmistakably Oceanis – the mainsail arch, the modern sheerline, the elegant proportions, those distinctive coamings and portholes – and honors her pedigree by continuing to offer the features that have made the range a standard-bearer in the industry. A vast array of options, trim levels, rigging and keel setups, and mechanical components ensure there will be a tailored yacht to fit the needs of every sailor, and her stylish looks will turn heads in every harbor on every ocean. 

Safe and Easy Sailing

The Oceanis Yacht 54 isn’t just modern on the outside; it is a yacht that is crammed with the latest and greatest sailing technologies, intuitively built into her systems, that are designed to make the cruising experience as easy and as enjoyable as possible. Ship Control, an interface that allows access to boat data and components, is installed as standard. Under sail, the optional Harken AST (assisted sail trim) automatically trims the sails based on apparent wind, all controlled by a simple display in the cockpit. Shorthanding a 54-footer has never been easier.

Great Ease of Movement

The flush cockpit allows for seamless movement between the companionway and the helm stations, creating an invisible partition between active and passive areas on deck. The flow to the aft swim platform and down the gangways to the foredeck is remarkably natural, and the positioning of lines, winches and controls allows for near-effortless sailing. Sightlines from the helm forward are excellent. The cockpit seats feel comfortable yet snug, though it is the foredeck sunpad that is likely to be the most popular spot on the boat.

Exclusive Trim and Materials

A close inspection of the Oceanis Yacht 54’s engineering and build quality reveals a craft that is decidedly a cut above the rest. Every single aspect of the boat has been carefully reexamined and nothing has been taken for granted - from the high-quality door fixtures and upholstery, to the exquisite molded woods of the interior, to the aluminum sub-floor that increases rigidity yet saves weight. The owner will be able to choose between two cabin layouts (both with two wood options available) and a palette of upholstery and paneling choices, to say nothing of electronic, mechanical, and rigging selections. Whatever the choice, on such a beautifully executed boat, the owner is bound to be one with the boat, and one with the sea.

Tested: Beneteau Oceanis Yacht 54

Beneteau has taken the hull of its sporty First 53 and repackaged it to create the luxurious Oceanis Yacht 54. Sam Jefferson evaluates whether the metamorphosis has been a success

There is a reason that Beneteau have been the biggest manufacturer of yachts over the past three decades and more, and that, make no mistake, has been because they are shrewd enough to look at the bottom line and understand exactly what is required to turn a profit in the notoriously choppy waters of the boatbuilding trade. This is perhaps why I raised an eyebrow when they launched the somewhat flamboyant Beneteau First 53 last year; a boat that was all style, flair and panache. In all honesty it was a boat that seemed designed more as a glorious ‘screw you’ to Solaris Yachts and other manufacturers in that niche than a serious money maker. Yet, I might have known that Beneteau had a further trick up its sleeve and this was confirmed when it launched the Beneteau Oceanis Yacht 54. Another new yacht? I thought. Well, not exactly. True, the deck is entirely new, but the hull looked strangely familiar and that is because it comes directly from the Beneteau First 53. Yes, this is the more grown up version of the boat. The new deck mould means it is at least halfway to being a new boat and there are other refinements, demonstrating that this is a yacht with pretensions of being much more of a serious cruising yacht.

More on that as we go along, but let’s start with what is the same – the hull: the lines have been penned by Italian designer Roberto Biscontini, who devoted many years of his career to working on America’s Cup yachts such as Il Moro di Venezia. He won a design competition and the First 53 was born, and that in turn has provided the hull for the Oceanis Yacht 54. Doubtless this was part of Biscontini’s design brief in the first place. The lines are, in their own way, fairly conservative. This is a yacht that boasts prodigious beam (16’5”) carried almost all the way aft; there is no chine and this slippery aft section is combined with moderately fine bow sections and modest freeboard.

She comes with an iron tipped T-shaped keel with a draft of 2.5m as standard, with a shallow (1.95m) version available. The boat weighs in at 16,600kg, which makes her 1,100kg lighter than the First 53. The mast stepped rig is big but has been significantly reduced compared to her sportier sister. Perhaps the need to convert the hull of the 53 into a slightly more conservative 54 explains why the styling is not as aggressive as some of her direct competitors; there is a plumb bow rather than the dreadnought bow favoured by some manufacturers in this category.

As previously mentioned, it is the deck and coachroof on this yacht that are totally new and that is reflected in the profile of the boat. The new coachroof is a touch higher and more angular than on the 53, while the addition of an arch over the cockpit – which is the fixing point for the mainsheet – gives the boat a distinct air of being a fast cruiser as opposed to having serious pretensions of being sporty.

Nevertheless, it’s a stylish yacht which looks good on the water.

Step aboard and you are definitely in a more enclosed space than on the 53. The layout is markedly different and, although there is a lot of room, there is also a feeling of security.

The helming stations are set slightly further inboard compared to the 53 and there are seats for the helmsman with lockers underneath. The yacht I tested had a fixed bimini and sprayhood which made the boat feel very safe and enclosed without making the boat look terrible, which I thought was a fine achievement.

The cockpit is laid out so that aft by the wheels is the ‘working’ area of the boat, with all sail controls led through channels in the coamings to two pairs of beefy Harken winches – electric, of course. Meanwhile, further forward is the lounging zone featuring a comfortable seating area and twin cockpit tables. This lounging area is further extended thanks to two large cushions set into the coachroof – very comfortable they are too.

There is a lot of space aft of the wheels and, in addition to providing a pleasant space to pad about and possibly sunbathe, beneath lies the dinghy garage; an important feature – there’s also decent access to the rudder quadrants.

There are acres of teak on show, although if you want the foredeck and side decks teak, this is an added option that you’ll probably take to be honest. The side decks are wide and everything is flush. There’s not much to say because it’s extremely minimalist. Up forward there is the now obligatory fixed bowsprit with integrated roller, and there is also a capacious lazarette which can be converted into pretty reasonably proportioned crew quarters.

Perhaps the most interesting feature is the three-level deck which features a series of three steps ascending upwards as you move toward the bow. The result is a boat that has an added feeling of security aft when you tread out onto the side decks, with the bulwarks getting progressively shorter as you get to the bow. It’s not a feature I’ve seen before but it seems to work pretty well, and is a marked contrast from the flush decks of the First 53.

If the deck is radically different from the 53, the interior is not nearly such a departure. The big difference is that there is a bit more light in here thanks to the larger portlights in the saloon. Aside from that, the seating area to starboard has been altered to accommodate a U-shaped dining area – the 53 has a slightly more ‘lounge’ style area here, with the dining area to port instead. The space saved on the port side has been used to create a chart table/office space, which works very well. Other than that, there are differences in trim but all in all, things are very similar – no bad thing, believeme. Given the yacht’s very broad hindquarters, there is a lot of space down here – and this despite the fact that a lot is lost to the dinghy garage. But this is only a minor issue as the premise of this boat is not to cram in many people at all. The result is a yacht with two modest double berths aft and a big stateroom forward. You have the option of three ensuites, or a shared bathroom for the doubles aft combined with an ensuite for the stateroom.

The galley is to port and is U-shaped with all the bells and whistles you’d expect from a luxury yacht.

Up forward, the main stateroom is a sumptuous affair with an ensuite that features the heads set to port and a separate shower room to starboard, which I always find a more satisfactory set up compared to showering in close vicinity to the toilet. The aft cabins were perforce more modest and unremarkable but they were perfectly pleasant places to be. Engine access was also good, and the steps down to the saloon were thoughtfully angled with the amount of handholds had been well thought out. In addition, the quality of the finish was good, in line with expectation of Beneteaus these days. One added thing to note here was the almost complete absence of creaks and groans down here, even when the boat was pressed hard – or when I was tramping on the floorboards.

Given that I tested the First 53 in the autumn and have done precious little sailing since, I was a bit worried that this would just be a slightly less thrilling sail than the previous one. Thankfully the south of France dished up a surprisingly nasty day given it was late June, with strong breezes and a short chop. This negated to some extent the extra weight and slightly reduced sail plan of the 54 and meant instead we just had a rollicking sail. This is a moderate displacement yacht with twin rudders and a relatively deep T-keel married to a decently proportioned rig with spanking new sails. How did she perform?

Well, ask a silly question.. she performed superbly – as any modern yacht would in those circumstances with those appendages in 15-17kn of breeze. The steering was a joy; light and responsive with tons of grip and masses of control – even with once we’d hoisted the gennaker. The speed never dropped below 7.5kn and we were well into double digits off the breeze with the gennaker. The sail controls were also eminently sensible, and it’s easy to see how you could handle this boat single-handed without any great shakes. As an added bonus, Harken’s Assisted Sail Trim system was also available, which will actually trim the sails and even tack for you. I’ve used it before and while it’s incredibly clever, I prefer to do things by hand myself.

Under power, the boat was impressively silent down below but perhaps the most fascinating feature was the optional extra Dock and Go system. This greatly eases engine-powered manoeuvring in tight spaces by combining a 360 degree rotating pod with a retractable bowthruster. I was cynical about the use of this as I observed the chap from Beneteau twiddling with a little joystick to park the boat, silently musing that I would be happier Med mooring by eye.

On trying it though, I must admit I was deeply impressed. This genuinely takes all of the stress out of parking to an absurd degree. Even in blustery conditions you have pinpoint control, and Med mooring a boat like this with such a broad derrière, this really is a bonus. It’s an optional extra which costs £XX – quite pricey, but somewhat offset on a big boat like this where the bow thruster is standard anyway. Plus if you are at all nervous about parking, it’s superb.

If the First 53 was a cruising boat with racing potential, the Oceanis Yacht 54 is a fast cruiser pure and simple. Nothing wrong with that either. I guess the biggest and most important thing was that there was a clear demarcation between the 53 and the 54. This, to my mind, has definitely been achieved. This is a very refined yacht that is genuinely very easy to manage. It could demolish an ocean passage with ease but I still feel its natural home is the Med, where its mixture of style, speed and ease of handling make for a very pleasing mix.

Best Full-Size Cruiser 50-54 Feet

• By Herb McCormick
• Updated: December 12, 2017

Winner: Dufour 520

Three French boats of similar size and price points came together to form the Best Full-Size Cruiser 50 to 54 Feet class. The Beneteau Oceanis 51.1, Dufour 520 and Jeanneau 51 were built from three of the world’s most established and well-known high-volume production boatyards.

The Beneteau 51.1 was a fresh, new design, not a scaled-up add-on to a previous line of yachts. Its hull form includes a hard chine, something that Tim Murphy immediately noticed. “Beneteau was one of the first companies to add chines, they were in the first wave,” he said. “The chines were always aft of the beam, and you’d hear three things about why they were putting them there. Some would say it’s for styling, some for performance, some for interior volume. It does give you a structural bump in the hull form.

“This boat, according to a company representative, was inspired by Rambler, an 88-foot maxi racing boat that has a very, very fine entry forward and then the chine right up near the bow, so it gets some flare and volume straightaway. This Beneteau is also carrying the chine forward, which gives you low wetted surface below the waterline and then large interior volume outside of that. So this is a new thing we’re seeing.”

“I thought the boat sailed very nicely,” said Bill Bolin. “The code zero sail was fabulous, it really lit the boat up. It had a big bimini, but it wasn’t a problem getting out of the cockpit from the steering stations, which were in the aft corners.”

“On the motoring side of things, this boat has plenty of power,” said Ed Sherman when discussing the Jeanneau 51. “At 2,800 rpm, we were getting 8.5 knots, and the sound levels were very low.”

“One of the things I hadn’t seen on a boat this size was the aluminum stringer system down below,” said Bolin. “During sea trials, we had light air, maybe 6 to 8 knots of breeze, and the boat was making 4.8 to 5 knots. And when the wind picked up a little, we actually registered 6.6 knots. It tacked through about 95 degrees, so from a performance standpoint the boat was pretty good.”

“The Jeanneau 51 is the smallest boat in Jeanneau’s Yacht series, which also includes a 54, 58 and 64,” said Murphy. “They call the transformer transom, which folds down to make a swimming and boarding platform, the ‘terrace.’ So they’re able to use the same part for the 51’s terrace as they do for the 54. It’s the same for the cockpit table. So that’s one of the reasons they’re able to bring in the smaller boat at a competitive price point.”

At $420,000 for the base boat, the least expensive yacht in this grouping was the Dufour 520. “In terms of motoring capability, it’s quite good,” said Sherman. “We got 9.2 knots at high speed, which was excellent.”

“The Dufour offered the most pleasurable sailing experience in this class,” said Murphy. “It starts with the helm, which answered beautifully and I didn’t feel like I was fighting it. It was a very smooth feeling. We did not sail it in a lot of breeze, maybe 7 to 8 knots, but we were making close to 6 knots. I wrote down, ‘The helm feels good,’ and underlined it.”

The creature comforts were also outstanding on the Dufour. “There’s a lot of flexibility in the cockpit,” added Murphy. “When sailing, you use it in the traditional way. But once you’re at anchor you have sun pads that come out and a transom that folds down to reveal a sink, grill and fridge. So it becomes kind of a party platform with the outdoor galley.

“Down below, you have the [real] galley forward, so all of the social space is gathered right at the base of the companionway stairs when you come down. The navigation station slides forward, so you can use it as an aft-facing nav station or a forward-facing table for socializing. There were all these things that adapt to the different ways people use their boats, and that boat was also the best to go sailing on. The helm felt the best, there was a traveler on the main so you could shape your mainsail leech, and it had a good suit of sails, so it also gave you the most options there.”

“It has a lot of unique features, and they delivered them well,” said Bolin. “I feel the Dufour 520 was the winner of the Best Full-Size Cruiser 50 to 54 Feet class.” And so did his fellow panelists.

Home Eagle 54

16,64 m (54’-5”)

3,27 m (10’-8”)

Displacement

2,80 meters (9’2”) or 2,20 meters (7’3”)

The 54 is designed with shorthanded cruising in mind. With its sleek design and state-of-the-art technology, this boat is sure to turn heads and provide a smooth and thrilling sailing experience.

The large cockpit of the Eagle 54 provides plenty of space for you and your guests to relax and take in the beauty of your surroundings. Whether you're sunbathing, dining, or simply enjoying the views, this is the perfect place to unwind. And with the option of single-handed sailing, you have the freedom to explore and navigate with ease.

The cabin is thoughtfully designed and equipped with all the essentials to ensure a comfortable and convenient stay.There are two interior options, one with the galley and heads near the cabin entrance and a version with the galley and heads further forward. The second variant has two additional pilot bunks. Both layouts feature a large saloon with the owner's berth near the bow. Since this 54-foot yacht is a semi-customized vessel, the owners can decide on the interior design themselves. By default, the interior is bright white with beautiful mahogany details.

With halyards and the jib sheets running below the deck, the Eagle 54 has an ultra-sleek deck layout. For easy handling, the jib winches are positioned within reach of the helmsman. Just forward of the jib winches, the two halyard winches, which double as gennaker sheet winches. The halyard's tails neatly disappear in the cockpit coaming. A captive winch mounted below deck, allows the mainsheet to be trimmed with the push of a button. Also the powered headsail furler is mounted below deck. The standard rigging features a carbon mast and boom. The boomvang and backstay are easily controlled from the helm on the hydraulic panel.

The Eagle 54 is famed for its cruising comfort. Developed with a contemporary underwater profile, modern deck hardware and all controls placed within reach of the helmsman, the 54 foot yacht can be easily sailed single handed . After all, we believe that sailing an Eagle should be uncomplicated fun. And with only 9 tons displacement, the Eagle 54 is also built for performance. With its sleek design and state-of-the-art technology, this boat is sure to turn heads and provide a smooth and thrilling sailing experience.

Needles to say, that with size comes more speed and more space. This 54 foot sailboat offers enough space below deck to spend a longer stay on board. Eagle 54 offers a spacious cockpit where family or friends can sit and enjoy in comfort. To complete the comfort, the 54 comes with a well-equipped galley with a refrigerator, sink and electric cooking hobs, and a separate bathroom with shower and toilet. This makes the Eagle 54 perfect for long sunny days in secluded bays and a long weekend away. And with room for up to 6 people to sleep, you'll have plenty of space to bring along friends or family for a memorable sailing adventure.

Video: The JP54- A work of art

A featherweight 54ft fast cruiser like no other - it's almost a piece of modern art

Scroll down for video

One of the hallmarks of a really good design – any design, not just a yacht – is that the closer you look, the more you find to delight you.

Having just sailed on the JP54, a 54ft super-lightweight fast carbon cruiser that is the result of a collaboration between French designer Guillaume Verdier and solo racer Jean-Pierre Dick, I put forward this boat as a work of art.

The new yacht was launched from New Zealand earlier this year and is in the south of France where she has been shown off at Cannes Boat Show and is on her way to St Tropez. Yesterday I took her for a spin off Nice in very light winds. In 5 knots of true wind we were slicing along at 6.5 knots under main and gennaker.

Not bad, but then this highly unusual cruiser is a featherweight at only 9 tonnes.

She is like a scaled-down IMOCA 60 – not surprisingly given that it is a spin-off of the work done by Verdier for JP Dick’s new IMOCA 60 Virbac-Paprec 3. Dick and some of his team formed a company to build and market this metamorphosis of the solo sailors’ concepts of simplicity, power, ease of handling and speed.

So the JP54 is all in carbon, inside and out and has twin rudders and a canting keel. What she does not have is water ballast, and there are no daggerboards to intrude too much in the interior; upwind the keel is canted to 20° so that it will provide lift as well as extra stability.

The deck layout is beautiful – what can I say. It’s so simple and logical. The furling lines for gennaker, solent and staysail lead aft under the starboard side deck foothold and are joined by the main halyard, mainsheet, staysail sheet, barber hauler and cunningham which all come down to starboard of the coachroof and to a hydraulic winch just ahead of the starboard wheel and close to the offset companionway.

It means that everything can be controlled easily close to the wheel, as the gennaker (or solent) sheet leads to another hydraulic winch just aft. In practice, albeit in light winds, this worked perfectly. The whole of the port side deck is completely clean and clear, and it is on this side that the cockpit seats and table will eventually be fitted.

Although the carbon mast has rod rigging, and swept back spreaders so that the backstays aren’t critical, the influence of IMOCA 60s is obvious from the complete absence of shackles. Gennaker turning blocks are open blocks; every other attachment is made with a Spectra lashing.

Unusually, there’s no traveller, mainly because a large part of the transom is taken up with a dinghy garage that hinges up to open (there’s an ingenious system of ropes and pulleys to slide the tender in and out).

Instead, the mainsheet attaches to two Spectra lines attached to (and easily detached from) dog bone fittings on deck. Again, this is becoming more and more commonplace on grand prix racers which, like the JP54, have very powerful hydraulic vangs to control mainsail twist.

There are other clever cruising ideas on deck such as a seawater jet that blasts along the bowsprit when the windlass is winding in the anchor chain to clean it.

The keel can be canted to 50° to reduce the draught to 2.5m for shallower marinas and anchorages and there is a 1,000lt ballast tank aft to starboard, the sole purpose of which is to trim the yacht flat when the keel is canted hard over to port. Clever stuff.

But down below this yacht is even more amazing. The JP54 is like no yacht I’ve ever been on. It’s not for everyone, to put it mildly, but it’s impossible not to admire the lavish ingenuity behind every curve and every detail.

The centrepiece, quite literally, is a carbon pod containing nav station and galley which is on a rotating carousel. The whole centre of the saloon, table included, rotates from one side to the other using a Magic Trim hydraulic ram.

Why? It’s not to change the view from the chart table – though it does that, creating a very weird sensation – but so that the heaviest items below, the hydraulic pump and boat’s batteries, about 700kg between them, can be moved to weather, right out to the hull sides.

On such a light yacht the weight of this carousel moving is really very noticeable.

Weight saving ideas are everywhere, and often beautiful. The central structural bulkheads are marvellous – just think of the load bearing work they’re doing here, but how wide the apertures are; most IMOCA 60s have only tiny holes and usually have twin bulkheads here either side of the keel ram.

The shapes of the moving pod and galley and the saloon table legs, which are shaped like a tree, are superb, all beautifully made from carbon. And I loved the ingenuity of ideas the hanging lockers which are simple gill-shaped openings with shock cord restraints, the little fold-out tables in the cabins, gorgeous wave-shaped shelves in the forecabins… the list of lovely detail work goes on.

Respect to the interior designer Stephanie Marin, who’d never worked on a yacht before, and to the boatbuilders at Southern Ocean Marine Absolute Dreamer NZ in Tauranga; their work is superb.

To put the immensity of the task in perspective, this design is so complex it needed 138 different moulds and the total build time was a staggering 30,000 hours.

Which brings me neatly to the price tag. To you, sir: €2 million. Though that doesn’t buy you the sails. So perhaps add another €250,000 to get you started.

So, this is a rich man’s fast toy. And although I’m brimming with admiration for this work of genius, I’m not sure how big a market there is going to be for such a specialised yacht – one with scant privacy and only one heads. These points are not trivial, not in cruising terms, and certainly not for that sort of moolah.

But more of that in the January issue, for which I am going to be extruding a full and frank report.

For now, here are these detail snaps from our sail yesterday. I’ll post up some video soon as well.
