Sense 55 "Best Boat 2013" and "BOTY 2013."

Two separate panels of elite judges from two premier sailing publications have confirmed what we already knew – the Beneteau Sense 55 is one incredible yacht! Sail Magazine chose the Sense 55 as a "Best Boat" for 2013, and Cruising World gave it the "Boat of the Year" award for the best import of 2013 and best full-size cruiser over 50 feet. All the judges were keenly impressed by the Sense 55's easy transition from salon to cockpit, massive swim platform and the feel of a multihull in a monohull design. If you're looking for a combination of performance and comfort that captures the magic of the sea, the Sense 55 is the yacht you've been waiting for.
