The flagship Beneteau 57 was conceived of as a true offshore cruiser by the renowned designer Bruce Farr and reflects a rare moment in production boatbuilding when performance, structural integrity, and long-range comfort were all given equal priority. The moderate displacement, generous sail area, and well-proportioned hull shape translate into a yacht that is both powerful and easily driven with spirited performance that doesn’t sacrifice the steady, reassuring motion demanded for passage making.
On deck, the center cockpit configuration is a defining feature, offering security offshore and excellent visibility for the helmsman from the port side helm station. The cockpit itself is deep, well-protected, and designed for both passage making and entertaining. Wide teak side decks and solid construction further reinforce her offshore credentials, while thoughtful touches such as a generous aft deck and integrated swim platform enhance life at anchor.
Rigged as a sloop allowing for a removable inner forestay (not included) and a self-tacking Lewmar track, a staysail (not included) can be added to the sail plan allowing the configuration to be shifted to a cutter/sloop. Designed with control lines running aft to the center cockpit and three powered winches, it is well set up for easy shorthanded sailing.
This air conditioned four cabin version has one large owner cabin aft with ensuite head and separate shower, a watch cabin with separate head / shower, and two guest cabins forward with separate heads and a shared shower.

Builder: Beneteau
Sara Lynn has a beautiful dark navy hull, teak decks, toe rail, and cockpit, with an expansive, bright, and exceptionally well laid out interior, finished with alpi woodwork in fruit tree color matt varnish, parquet type matt-varnished floors, and padded ceilings. Beneteau’s collaboration with interior designer Franck Darnet resulted in a space that feels both refined and practical, with rich joinery, abundant natural light, and excellent ventilation.
The salon offers generous seating and a welcoming atmosphere for entertaining or extended living aboard.
The air-conditioned interior includes separate thermostats and controllers for the salon and each of the four private cabins; two guest cabins forward, a watch cabin off the starboard passageway, and full-beam aft owner’s cabin. With bunks for seven, four heads, and three showers, this boat is well suited for extended living with the owners, guests, and crew.
Guest Cabins
There are two symmetrical double guest cabins forward, on port and starboard, each with a separate air-conditioning thermostat and controller, drawers, hanging locker, two reading lights, a 110v outlet, 12v power socket, Toshiba flat screen TV, and an ensuite head. A shared shower is designed into the forward peak and can be accessed from the head in either cabin.

It includes a large centerline queen berth with padded headboard, over six feet of headroom, a vanity/desk, extensive storage in lockers and drawers, flat screen TV with DVD player, stereo and CD player, CD changer, speakers, 110v AC and 12v DC outlets, reading lights, with white padded seating matching the salon, and a private ensuite head with a separate shower.
