A signature feature of this design is the innovative sliding cockpit bimini supported by the mainsail arch which allows for sun or shade for the ginormous cockpit and helm areas. This is an awesome set-up that transforms the cockpit - often the area where owners and guests spend the bulk of their time - into a ‘four season room’ for lounging, dining and watching all the fun comings and goings off the back of the boat. One cannot overstate the thoughtful design Beneteau has brought to bear in this space, taking full advantage of the generous beam carried all the way aft.
The fold down transom (with wireless remote) with built in steps and hydraulic passarelle for stern-to boarding complement the twin wheel layout, with large center walkthrough into the seating area. Convertible electric teak tables port and starboard for dining and cocktails mate with elongated L-shaped settees that convert into double berths and lounges. Forward of the settees and elevated under the protection of the large dodger are “companionway sundecks” with adjustable back rests (ratchet system) and built-in cupholders in the outboard cushion bolsters. The front of the dodger can be opened completely to allow copious amounts of air flow into this unique elevated lounge and into the cockpit itself. It is really quite well done and unique to this design.
Twin wheel steering stations are aft with all control lines and electric winches within easy reach. Line lockers beneath the settees in front of each helm are a nice touch. The helms may also be fully enclosed. Full GPS electronics and winch controls at each with black carbon-look wheels; stainless handrails and sole boards that may be partially lifted at an angle for a comfortable and safe stance when healing over.

Below deck the Oceanis 60 boasts a three cabin / three head layout. There is also a crew cabin forward accessible from deck with bunks and a head which doubles as a large foc’sle with plenty of room for stowage of sails, gear and toys.
The salon has a beautiful and contemporary feel with a combination of fabric and ‘wood’ surfaces and lighting that is so attractive and so well laid out for comfort- incorporating a Nav station to starboard aft, with seating area forward. Inboard of this ‘loveseat’ settee is a small ‘island’ cabinet near centerline which creates an intimate space while also providing additional storage and countertop- finished in black, that plays well with the light grey cushions and darker grey table-top when folded small. This little counter has proper fiddles and is a great spot for all kinds of things from bottles of wine to candles and keys. Across to port is a large U-shaped settee with convertible electric table for dining and cocktails which also converts to a lounge/berth for movie nights or overflow guests. This too, is a super comfy and distinct sitting area which is adjacent to the port galley- perfect for today’s living. The galley is forward and spans the full beam of the salon with a walk-thru to the forward owner’s cabin and private head with separate stall shower. Identical quarter cabins with large double berths and heads with separate showers are found aft either side of a wide and gentle companionway.
Large hull ports, deck ports (fixed and opening) and centerline overhead hatches - all with shades provide plenty of natural light and ventilation and privacy when desired.
