Jeanneau Yachts 64

Jeanneau's former 20.1 m flagship, with big open deck spaces and 3 or 4 cabins, for owners wanting a large cruising yacht set up to their own taste.

She's 20.1 m long, with a 5.4 m beam and a draught of 2.95 m, and she sat at the top of Jeanneau's range until the yard stopped building her. On a hull length of 19.55 m, that's a lot of boat for a family or a group of friends heading off for longer spells aboard.

The deck is where she earns her place. The outside living areas are large and open to the sea, so you can relax up there on a quiet day and still enjoy her when she's sailing hard.

Below, there's plenty of volume, careful detailing and good-quality materials. Owners chose from a range of configurations when she was built, with 3 or 4 cabins depending on the version, so each one tends to reflect the person who ordered her. It's worth looking closely at the layout of any boat you're considering.

Philippe Briand was responsible for the naval architecture, with Andrew Winch's studio, Winch Design, and Jeanneau's own design team working on the rest. She carries 825 l of fuel and 1000 l of fresh water.
