The Oceanis Clipper 523 is designed for discerning owners and journeys where pleasure, luxury, comfort and safety rule on board.  The deck equipment has been designed for the utmost maneuverability and accessibility. Nothing has been left to chance when it comes to interior design to ensure that every day on board is exceptional.

Split into two main areas, the cockpit has twin wheels and the familiar central walkthrough. A pair of Harken 66ST primary winches are positioned on peninsula-type mouldings, well within reach of the helmsman and crew.

Yet even if you overlooked all these details there’s one feature that is nigh on impossible to miss, her overall beam. At 4.90m (16ft) the Beneteau Oceanis 523 is 42cm wider than the Oceanis 50 and just a 20mm short of the beam of the 57.A characteristic of many other Finot designs, her beam runs from amidships most of the way aft. The result is acres of space on deck and a cavernous interior

Below decks there’s no mistaking the volume. The Beneteau Oceanis 523 layout is pretty straightforward, with a U-shaped saloon to port and a longitudinal galley to starboard.

Aft lie a pair of large double cabins, each with its own ensuite head, while the owner’s cabin is of Hilton proportions with a head to match.

Accessed from a hatch on deck, the skipper’s cabin, and head, is tucked up in the fore peak. Despite the space she remains easy to move about in when heeled.

A central island dividing the galley from the saloon provides a good brace, as do the various handholds.

Other details to get my vote include the amount of worktop, stowage, microwave and dishwasher
