2004 BENETEAU 57 Owners version

Built by Beneteau in 2004, B-57 is a 17.6-metre sailing yacht based on the well-regarded Beneteau 57 model, designed by Bruce Farr. She is presented in the Owner's Version configuration, which features a full-beam aft stateroom and four cabins in total. She has been privately owned from new, never chartered, and EU VAT has been paid. Her low engine hours of 2,450 reflect a yacht that has been carefully used and consistently maintained throughout her life.

Over the past two years, B-57 has undergone an extensive refit focused on navigation, electrical systems, water independence and cruising self-sufficiency. The navigation setup includes a new ORCA Core system integrated with sensors and autopilot, a new Raymarine EV400 Sail Evolution autopilot, a new NMEA 2000 network, and a new Raymarine masthead wind transducer. The electrical system has been comprehensively upgraded with a new 28.6 kWh lithium house battery bank (32 x 280Ah EVE cells), a full Victron Energy suite including inverter-charger, solar MPPT controller, Cerbo GX management system and SmartShunt, as well as a REC-BMS battery management system. Additional upgrades include a new Seawater Pro watermaker (40 GPH, dual membrane), new freshwater pumps and plumbing, a new electric flush toilet, a new cutlass bearing and shaft seal, a new 3.60 m GRP RIB tender with a 6 hp Honda outboard, Starlink satellite internet, Samsung smart TVs in the saloon and master cabin, a new life raft and a new EPIRB. Air conditioning is fitted throughout.

B-57 is particularly well suited to a couple or family looking for a capable, well-equipped passage maker ready for extended offshore or bluewater cruising. The combination of the spacious Owner's Version layout, the comprehensive energy and navigation systems, and the safety equipment already in place means a new owner can step aboard and sail with confidence — whether in the Mediterranean or on an ocean crossing.
