Beneteau Oceanis Yacht 62 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a Beneteau Oceanis Yacht 62 means choosing between owner three-cabin and charter four-cabin layouts, both well represented, with ex-charter examples common. The boat itself was the first of an innovative new line from Beneteau, drawing on motorboat-sector styling, and its size places it firmly in the "yacht" tier of the marque's 60-foot-plus models.
Layouts on the Used Market
The 62 was offered with a master forward suite enjoying proper privacy via an athwartships corridor, plus two large aft cabins extending to the stern either side of the tender garage. A fourth cabin can be added to starboard, though that eliminates the head and shower there, and ex-charter boats often show the four-cabin arrangement with one twin bunk layout. The saloon pairs a portside L-shaped lounge with a centerline settee, and the starboard straight-line galley sits behind a console with a pop-up TV. Below the galley soles, practical racks and crates were installed for stowage, and the companionway descends at a very shallow 45° angle into the accommodational volume.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used market these yachts commonly carry radar, autopilot, watermaker, electric winches, the hydraulically lowered swim platform, chartplotter, furling main, teak decks, AIS, asymmetric spinnaker, bimini, air conditioning, inverter, Code Zero, and cockpit shower, with B&G electronics and Seanapps monitoring typical. Often-seen additions include a freezer, dodger, spinnaker, and bow thruster. Less commonly, you will find lithium batteries, hot water, washing machine, hardtop, heating, solar, gennaker, dinghy davits, Starlink, or life raft as owner upgrades rather than standard fit.
What to Inspect
Documented known issues center on stowage and access. Reviewers observed the crew cabin fills with sails and fenders because deck stowage is minimal, so check how prior owners managed gear and whether aftermarket racks were added. Engine access is split: the front of the Yanmar 160 HP diesel is reached via the companionway steps, while the back is accessed through an interior door in the starboard cabin that also exposes the Onan 11.5 kW genset. Hinged sole boards give excellent access to the deep bilges, and the option-laden test boat weighed roughly 5 tonnes above its 26-tonne light displacement, so verify the actual outfit weight of any candidate.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These yachts typically appear in Italy, France, Mexico, United States, Croatia, and Australia. For a brokerage purchase, keep a short checklist: confirm whether the layout is owner three-cabin or ex-charter four-cabin and if the starboard fourth cabin sacrifices a head; verify the tender garage, electric winch, and hydraulic transom function; inspect deck stowage reality versus the crew-cabin compromise; and weigh listed options against the known 5-tonne displacement uplift on heavily fitted boats.
