Designed by Groupe Finot for the discerning owner, the 523 that Beneteau launched in 2001 is an ambitious yacht to say the least, a grand cruiser that looks to the highest ranges the shipyard targets, offering a hull that makes luxury, comfort and pleasure its strong point. The interiors are exceptionally well-crafted and nothing is left to chance, with three distinct layouts ready to accommodate from 4 to 8 guests depending on the configuration. Regardless, the forward crew cabin is ever-present. And if attention to detail is evident below deck, the same applies on deck, where ergonomics and ease of operation are the watchwords, making this sixteen-meter yacht literally devoted to the serenity of those on board.
