Jeanneau Yachts57 New Interior

A 17.78 m offshore cruiser Jeanneau no longer builds, laid out for easy handling, suited to owners planning long passages with family or friends.

This is a big offshore cruiser that Jeanneau has since stopped building, and she's worth a look on the used market for anyone wanting room and comfort on long passages. The interior and deck plan are by Vittorio Garroni, who drew them with ease of handling in mind, which matters on a boat of this size.

Down below, the style is contemporary but keeps a clear link to Jeanneau's long nautical heritage. You'll find leather, blond teak flooring and stainless steel throughout. Sleek hull windows and skylights let in plenty of daylight, so the saloon and cabins don't feel closed in.

Layouts were offered with 2, 3, 4 or 5 cabins, so it's worth checking which version a particular boat has. She's 17.78 m overall on a 17.28 m hull, with a 5 m beam and a 2.5 m draught. Tankage runs to 930 l of fresh water and 420 l of fuel.
