A Legacy of Innovation Continues
The Oceanis 52 is the result of meticulous craftsmanship and a commitment to meeting the evolving expectations of today’s sailors.

Interior & Exterior Designer
For two decades, Nauta Design has fostered a close collaboration with the Beneteau brand, embracing contradictions as a challenge. A yacht, in our vision, must be an object of extreme beauty, one that consistently delights the observer for years to come. Our distinctive approach is fueled by the desire to create a balanced blend: elegance with ease of handling, style with performance, and comfort with seaworthiness. This philosophy guides our design process as we transform ideas into reality, hand-in-hand with modern technology. This renowned team, comprising 20 shipyard specialists, has worked intensely on the project for the past two years. Their contributions, combined with extensive input from the Beneteau family—including dealers and customer panels—have meticulously defined this new generation to meet all expectations.
