Beneteau Oceanis Yacht 54 and First Yacht 53 sailing yachts and a Lagoon Sixty 7 powercat are set to arrive in Hong Kong in June following sales by regional dealer Simpson Marine. Simpson Marine has also sold a Lagoon Sixty 5 sailing catamaran, scheduled to arrive in Hong Kong in September.
The Oceanis Yacht 54 and Lagoon Sixty 7 will be the models’ first units in Asia. The Oceanis Yacht 54 was one of Beneteau’s two new sailing yachts unveiled in late 2020 and was reviewed in Yacht Style Issue 56 (Nov/Dec 2020): Beneteau Oceanis Yacht 54: Speeding Beauty | Yacht Style.
Milan-based Roberto Biscontini handled naval architecture and fellow Italian Lorenzo Argento handling the deck and interior design of the Oceanis Yacht 54, having also worked on the First Yacht 53, which was launched in 2019.
The Lagoon Sixty 7 is the brand’s second-biggest power catamaran, after the flagship Seventy 8, and was only unveiled in 2020.
