Yacht for Charter: Beneteau Oceanis 45 Skylark

Constructed in 2018, Skylark is a dream to sail with twin helm steering, a roller reefing genoa and a new standard mainsail. She is a well-balanced sailing yacht with an impressive blend of performance and comfort, designed for ease of manoeuvring.

The Beneteau Oceanis 45 is a highly regarded, well-balanced cruising yacht designed by Finot-Conq and Nauta Design that seamlessly blends performance with onboard liveability. Featuring a distinctive hard-chine hull for increased form stability and interior volume, it incorporates a signature mainsail arch that clears the cockpit of traveler clutter while allowing for a safer, gentler 45-degree companionway.

Below deck, its bright, configurable layout offers flexible multi-cabin options finished in contemporary light oak, making it a popular choice for both relaxed family cruising and charter fleets. On deck, twin helm stations, an expansive cockpit social area, and an electrically controlled full-width swim platform ensure that handling under its manageable fractional rig is matched by exceptional comfort at anchor.
