Beneteau
Oceanis 58
The Beneteau Oceanis 58 (Berret-Racoupeau/Nauta Design, 2010-2014) was the flagship of the Oceanis range, designed to offer a superyacht experience in a production package. Positioned for the high-end private owner who intends to cruise long distances, it features a powerful hull, a large sail plan, and a level of interior luxury that was unprecedented for Beneteau at the time. Its massive cockpit, complete with a mainsheet arch and a clear separation between sailing and social zones, makes it a master of both offshore passage-making and Mediterranean lounging.
For the surveyor, the Oceanis 58 is a complex vessel with numerous high-load systems. Pay close attention to the structural grid and keel attachment points, as the boat carries a massive ballast load. The electric winches and hydraulic furling systems (if fitted) should be thoroughly tested under load. The engine room, while spacious, contains a lot of equipment; check the insulation and the condition of the plumbing for the generator and air conditioning systems. The teak decks are often expansive; inspect for thinning or lifting, especially in high-traffic areas.
Market-wise, the Oceanis 58 is highly regarded for its robust build and timeless styling. The interior is characterized by its scale, with a massive saloon and a luxurious forward owner's suite that feels more like a bedroom than a cabin. It is a yacht that holds its value well, appealing to buyers who want a true flagship presence and the comfort to live aboard for extended periods.

Buyer FAQ
- Does the Oceanis 58 have a tender garage?
No, it uses a large lazarette and traditional davits or a crane for tender storage.
- Is the Oceanis 58 easy for a couple to handle?
While it features electric winches and simplified controls, its 58-foot scale and high loads mean it is best handled by an experienced couple or with additional crew.
- What is the typical engine for the Oceanis 58?
Most units are equipped with a 140hp or 150hp Yanmar shaft-drive engine, providing reliable and powerful propulsion.
- How does the Oceanis 58 compare to the newer Oceanis Yacht 62?
The 58 is slightly more traditional in its layout and lacks the tender garage, but it offers a similar level of luxury and robust offshore performance.
- What are common survey focal points on the Oceanis 58?
Focus on the structural grid, the condition of the teak decks, the operation of the electric/hydraulic systems, and the integrity of the large hull ports.
Design History
Oceanis 58 emerged when Scandinavian and North Sea yards were scaling reliable GRP cruising platforms for owner crews rather than charter fleets. French production shaped the hull lines and interior volume for predictable manners in Baltic chop and North Sea swell. Production ran from 2009 to 2014; registry and owner-club sources cite approximately ~400–670 completed hulls.
Beneteau positioned the Oceanis 58 for coastal and offshore use in the 2009–2014 production window — explaining mixed maintenance histories on the secondary market today.
Mid-production changes were mostly interior trim, engine options, and deck hardware rather than fundamental hull revisions. That means survey condition, winter storage history, and rigging invoices usually matter more than the model year printed on the brochure. When you evaluate a Oceanis 58 on Blocket, treat the maintenance story as part of the specification — not a footnote after the asking price.
Annual Ownership Costs
| Cost item | Low (SEK) | High (SEK) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marina berth | 22,000 | 48,000 | 17.5 m class, Stockholm/Gothenburg |
| Insurance | 8 000 | 22 000 | Agreed value and cruising area |
| Haul-out + winter | 12 000 | 28 000 | Yard package varies by region |
| Antifouling + hull care | 6 000 | 16 000 | Materials and labour |
| Engine / drivetrain | 5 000 | 16 000 | Service intervals and saildrive |
| Rigging reserve | 7 000 | 20 000 | Standing rigging age |
| Deck / structural reserve | 6 000 | 22 000 | Bedding, moisture follow-up |
| Total annual | 62 000 | 172 000 | Excludes major refit years |
Annual ownership for Oceanis 58 is predictable when service records are complete. Berth, storage, and insurance dominate fixed costs in Sweden. The largest variables are rigging replacement timing and any survey-led deck or drivetrain work triggered after purchase. Keep a separate technical reserve so routine season costs stay stable — especially on Blocket boats marketed as "ready to sail" without invoices.
Pre-Purchase Survey Checklist
Pre-Purchase Inspection Checklist: Oceanis 58
Hull, Keel and Underwater Body
- Moisture-map the underwater hull; document osmosis or barrier-coat history on Oceanis 58 GRP of this era.
- Inspect keel-to-hull joint, keel bolts (if external iron), and backing structure for movement or recurring fairing cracks.
- Check rudder bearings and steering linkage under load during sea trial.
Deck and Hardware
- Test bedding at stanchions, tracks, and winches; open nearby interior access if damp stains appear.
- Inspect hatches and portlights for seal compression and core moisture at corners.
- Verify chainplate areas internally for rust staining or soft laminate.
Rig and Sail Systems
- Confirm standing rigging age with invoices; treat unknown age as near-term replacement on club-used hulls.
- Inspect mast step, spreaders, and terminals for corrosion or fatigue marks.
- Operate furling and reefing systems under realistic load.
Machinery and Systems
- Review engine and saildrive service including cooling, exhaust elbow, and mounts.
- Audit batteries, charging, and owner-added electrical work for safe fusing.
- Check tanks, bilges, and hoses for age-related seepage.
