Beneteau Yacht Charter and Sailing Days
Whether you're looking for a relaxing experience or a dynamic and exciting activity, yacht racing will be the answer, with a little sophistication thrown in.
The yachts are Beneteau 40.7m, perfect for racing, cruising, corporate event and hospitality.
The Beneteau 40.7 is a Bruce Farr design and is a fast cruiser / racer. There is both ample accommodation and a very spacious cockpit layout. Below decks are three spacious cabins including comfortable pilot berths and a fore cabin.
This versatile yacht provides ocean sailing at its best with its twin main sheet system and powerful rig coupled with a sail drive engine to get you home should the breeze fail. Twenty of these matched yachts available from our Southampton base.
Every yacht comes with a skipper and with a little practice they are easy to master.
