A different interpretation of the same platform
The builder's Sedan model page illustrates direct access to a rooftop living space and the absence of a traditional elevated helm structure. It is important to distinguish that arrangement from the Fly version which featured in BENETEAU's Cannes world-premiere announcement.
For owners, this changes how exterior social space is distributed around the boat. The roof may be used for relaxation while the protected main-deck steering position remains the principal location for running the yacht.
Main-deck life on longer trips
The wheelhouse uses panoramic glazing and an open saloon-and-galley plan to bring light into the central living area. Access between the cockpit and interior is particularly relevant when moving provisions and entertaining guests over several days.
BENETEAU lists possible equipment including a tender lift, joystick controls and gyro stabilisation, depending on the exact specification. Those items should not be treated as standard equipment on every build.
Dimensions and accommodation
Published overall length is 13.13 metres, with a 4.25-metre beam and maximum draft of 0.97 metres. The builder states 1,170 litres of fuel and 400 litres of fresh water, although usable range still depends on load, sea conditions and reserve policy.
Lower-deck plans provide three or four cabins, with a full-beam owner cabin and guest accommodation. The optional arrangement changes how much privacy and storage a family can enjoy when the boat is used beyond a weekend.
What the Sedan adds to the range
The main decision is not a simple price comparison against the Fly variant but whether the owner's typical programme favours rooftop leisure space or a full upper steering position. The published CE ratings are B8, C10 and D10, and actual navigation must remain within the individual vessel's certification.
