PRESS REVIEW:

The Beneteau 46 is a near ideal blend of performance, comfort and user friendliness. The 46 continues Beneteau’s sleek new look with a rakish deck design that somehow seems low slung while at the same time allows for large portlights that flood the interior with natural light. This design, like others in the Beneteau Series, is the result of a combination of talents. Naval architects Jean Berrret and Oliver Racoupeau designed the hull and deck while the Italian firm of Nauta Design is responsible for the interior layout and styling.

… The 46, which actually has an LOA of 47 feet, 3 inches, just may be the perfect length for an all-around performance cruiser. It is big enough to be very fast and has enough heft to have a nice ride in a seaway and yet can still be easily handled by a couple. The interior is comfortable for living aboard for long periods of time, and although the systems are serious, they’re not overwhelming to maintain. And, it’s a Beneteau, meaning that it is well made and backed up by the largest sailboat company in the world.

I recently sailed the Beneteau 46 in Miami. The conditions were perfect for a boat test. Gusty winds ranging from 10 to 25 knots meant that we had to be on our toes all the time, and the narrow, shallow waters of northern Biscayne Bay meant that we had to tack frequently. We really put the boat through its paces and I came away impressed. The 46 is a rare boat indeed. It’s so easy to handle that you won’t hesitate to take it out for an hour or two after work, and yet it’s capable of crossing oceans. I suspect most owners will use it for weekend cruising.

… The Beneteau 46 pushes all the right buttons. It performs well through a wide range of conditions, is comfortable on deck and below, and is very well priced. There’s a reason Beneteau builds more boats than anyone else, they know what we want.
