Owner Experience Review
Owners choose the 57 Owners versionfor bluewater passagemaking and liveaboard family cruising, and the first impression stepping aboard is “one of space.” The Owner’s Version plan delivers a full‑beam aft stateroom with a private head and clear separation between owner and guest areas, while multiple interior layouts (3‑cabin owner or 4‑cabin guest/charter) support different crew mixes. Many examples are outfitted with en‑suite heads, a large galley, and HVAC, making extended time aboard straightforward.
Underway, this powerful sloop has been described as offering “surprising performance” for a production cruiser, feeling solid in the water with notably good upwind ability. Typical cruising speeds are around 8–8.5 knots under power, with a hull speed near 11.5 knots; it tends to track straight with a moderate, comfortable motion (comfort ratio about 35.5). That balance lets the boat rally or race when asked yet stay composed on passage.
Maintenance expectations are conventional for the size and systems. The standard Yanmar 160 hp installation is widely documented, with access via a door from the passageway and beneath the companionway steps to facilitate major service. Forum and service notes mention occasional electrical/engine alerts—one troubleshooting case identified a failed glow plug—and many used boats show electrical and systems refits over time (battery banks, inverters, generators, refrigeration). Within the Beneteauowner community there are historical notes of occasional gelcoat/blistering on boats left long in the water, so a thorough pre‑purchase hull inspection is prudent. As with any used yacht, specifics vary by hull and refit history.
Pros and Cons
- Owner‑focused layout with a full‑beam aft stateroom, private head, and clear separation of owner and guest areas.
- Surprising performance for a production cruiser, with strong upwind ability and steady tracking.
- Practical engine‑room access via a passageway door and under‑step panels for major service.
- Many used examples receive or need electrical/system refits, so budgeting for upgrades is common.
- Service notes include occasional engine alert issues traced to glow plugs on some boats.
- The Beneteauowner community has noted occasional gelcoat/blistering on boats left long in the water, warranting careful hull inspection.
