Nice, I really like the cozy chocolate colors on the interior; lots of nice little details like the large cockpit with versatile table and bin locker including the cool paddle top cup holder
An excellent walk through of the yacht and appreciate the commentary regarding the impact of hull design. Really nice yacht, one that should be on my shopping list except I'm not a fan of longitudinal galleys. Real pity.
10:24 I'm surprised at how much I like the galley layout, though I'd like to see fiddles on those bottom-hinged cupboard doors, so when you're in a relatively calm sea or anchored/on a mooring, you could leave them down as an extra surface for your condiments, beer, etc. whilst prepping food.
Beauty of a boat and a great tour, cheers. But an electric engine option that gives 5knots for 1 hr?!? Technology just isn’t there to make it worth it. Diesel engine all the way, especially at these prices.
The relentless march towards comfort in port sacrificing seaworthiness continues. Such is the nature of meeting demand. How long before a joint design between Beneteau and Swift Caravans, I wonder. At least there's no reason to regret the lack of wet lockers when purchasers will have zero intention of ever getting wet.
People want comfort and are getting it aplenty. But, like replacing a bicycle saddle with an armchair, it comes at a cost and I’m entitled to make that observation.
Not everyone is interested in blue water cruising or going round the Horn. Doesn't make them any less keen sailors. Some folks want to sail on a comfortable, well-appointed sailboat and they're entitled to that.@@atakd
Yes, they are so entitled, as I'm entitled to an opinion. And prioritising personal comfort to sailing performance does, by definition, make them less keen sailors, though there's nothing with that.
To me there is nothing solid about a new Beneteau. All plasticky and weak. I would never risk my life in any rough water with a Beneteau. They slap and pound and the cheap finishings rattle like crazy in no time at all. Narrow sides and safety guard rails that hardly reach above knee height, a very unsafe design, sorry but only good for day sailing and cocktail cruising along the coast in good weather.
Sorry to disagree. Many years ago, we bought a retiring charter, First 501 from Moorings in Saint Maartin and brought her back across the Atlantic to the UK. Yes ❤she creaked and the quality was more Dasia than BMW. We had 15 years fun from her, including several Biscay crossings. If we had waited until we could have afforded a 50 foot Hallberg we would still be waiting.

That was a really thorough walkthrough. I'm absolutely shure the new 37 performance is way beyond what other similar size yachts will do.
it certainly is full of utter crap. Thank you
This was a great video. Thanks FD
No grab handles on the coachroof? Maybe I missed them.

Interesting boat. Thanks for the review!

yes, indeed. Life hinges on such considerations
Indeed. It's the small things that are important.@@thomaselliott573
A delightful boat 😊
No protection for the helm or the cockpit? I guess they know their market!

37.1 as described or 34.1 as written on the mainsail cover?
34 is the neighbor to starboard.

Yes, god forbid anyone should have any degree of comfort at all when sailing, what an idea.
New production boats smell exactly the same inside as new caravans and motorhomes.

not bUUt, but bOOt Düsseldorf pls 🙂
The battery size is 10 kWh.
I’d still rather buy a Catalina, and spend less money…
Seriously, how has the boats become so ugly inside. Yes mass production, no hand work and .....
As professional in the yachting world he could at least pretend to realise that he is not at a high topped footwear convention....
It looks so plastic
