Cruising World Judges named the Beneteau Oceanis 30.1 the Best Performance Cruiser for 2020.
“It’s not every year that we get a full class of dedicated performance cruisers to test, but we did for 2020, and it was a blast putting them through their paces. Boasting bold graphics, the Beneteau Oceanis 30.1 rose to the top. But it had stiff competition from a quartet of contenders.” Jon Whittle
With five dedicated, dual-purpose racer/cruisers measuring in at under 37 feet, the Performance Cruiser class was not only the largest and most competitive division in the 2020 Boat of the Year contest, but it was also the most fun. Putting this roster of compact, peppy sailboats through their paces was nothing short of a blast.

“The little Beneteau had dual wheels, which might seem like overkill, but they worked.”
