Jeanneau Yacht Review

Summary

With over 50 years of experience, Jeanneau Yachts have consistently produced boats that have met ISO regulations and provided comfortable voyages for their owners. Today, their 2,000 employees work in a 380,000 sq. foot facility where they make boats using Dassault Systems’ CATIA, a computer-aided design software that precisely fabricates the boat.

Pros

• Jeanneau yachts have a large variety of amenities. Outdoors, they have a swimming platform, flying bridge, sundeck mattress, and cockpit galley with a sink, refrigerator, and icemaker. Indoors, they have LCD TVs and DVD players in the saloon and three cabins that each have lockers for clothes. In the galley, there is a microwave, hot water heater, gas burner, refrigerator, and a cooker hood. Also, the washroom has toilets and a shower head.
• Jeanneau Yachts has existed for over 50 years. Having lasted for over a century demonstrates its reliability and consistency in making boats that are well-made and comfort-oriented.
• Jeanneau yachts are made with modern technology. CATIA, a computer-aided design software program, helps fashion these yachts into exact dimensions to produce a precisely designed boat.
• Jeanneau yachts are environmentally friendly. They have consistently exceeded regulations given by ISO 9001 to meet environmental and quality standards.

Cons

• Jeanneau yachts are expensive. In the Express Line, the cheapest one is $200,000. For the Flybridge Line, the yachts range from $260,000 to nearly $750,000. And the ultimate yacht, the 60’ Prestige, costs nearly $2 million. If you can afford to purchase one of these yachts, go for it. But if money isn’t readily available, buying one of these yachts would probably not be the best choice.
• Jeanneau yachts consume a lot of gas. Although some of these yachts can hold over 400 gallons of fuel, eventually the gas will run out, and you’ll have to refill the tanks. The longer you cruise on the ocean, the more gas refills you’ll need, and the more money your boat will consume.
• Jeanneau yachts require maintenance. Even thought these boats are made well, they still need to be routinely checked for any problems. As you have to replace parts or repaint the yacht, you’ll have to invest more money into your boat after your initial purchase, taking money away from other necessities like groceries and insurance payments.
