Jeanneau 57 yacht combines comfort and technology

Sep 30th, 2009
Earlier this year, Jeanneau released a new vessel carrying the company's trade name as its brand name.

The Jeanneau 57 sailing boat is an extension of the yacht maker's Sun Odyssey range and is aimed at providing a combination of comfort and technology.

Created by renowned designers Philippe Briand and Vittorio Garroni, as well as the firm's own team, the 17-metre vessel comes with a small motor dinghy, which is stored in its own compartment at the rear of the boat.

It is launched via a fold-down platform, allowing those chartering the yacht to go and explore any small islands they come across on their trip.

Inside, a spacious galley and saloon area provide ample headroom, while numerous windows mean even those below deck do not miss the scenery floating past.

Clever design is key, with the middle section of the sofa able to fold down into a table and drinks cabinet.

Meanwhile, the yacht comes with two super-sized cabins that can be split into four separate compartments, capable of sleeping multiple guests.

The choice of berth numbers also dictates how many bathrooms are onboard, with each cabin having its own facilities.

Jeanneau launched the yacht in April this year and yacht charter customers should enjoy their trip - whether they are cruising the coastline of Croatia or topping up their tan around the Greek islands.
