Exterior design

This extraordinary yacht is the result of two brilliant designers: Philippe Briand and Andrew Winch. The key word for the design was versatility, which can be found both at the exterior and interior.

Unique and intuitive, the Jeanneau 60 will infuse your cruising with thrilling, effervescent energy. This new masterpiece comes with a sharp, elegant style, highlighted by a powerful inverted bow and an integrated bowsprit.

In order to meet customer’s expectations as closely as possible, the new Jeanneau 60 can be adapted from a sea cruiser to an ocean cruiser, with or without a hardtop.

Interior design

In order to understand the magnificent details offered by the interior space of Jeanneau 60, you should know that Phillipe Briand has created more than 10.000 sailing boats and loves to master the technical details, harmony in design while keeping the design simple. On the other hand, Andrew Winch is responsible for the interior design, being a well renowned international designer with particular attention to details and materials quality, building a top reputation for over 25 years.

Concluding this and going below deck a new world opens to our sight. The living space has been enhanced at a luxurious level and you can observe from the companion way the meticulous attention to each detail. At the interior you can also find a layout enhanced by high-performance technology and the fines materials.

Extra attention has been paid to the way of life onboard, including dedicated living spaces for relaxation, reading or dining. Therefore, the galley is now positioned forward, to make way to a large salon in the widest part of the hull.

The large hatches and hull openings allow natural light to dress up the sculpted surfaces. 

There are two options for wood finishes, varnished teak or light oak, each with matching floors. The upholstery selection includes five new fabrics and five leathers by Foglizzo. You can choose from three different cabin styles - sand, affogato and royal blue - to personalise the headboards and trim around the beds to create a unique atmosphere. To conclude, the integration of solid wood enables fluid lines and a pleasing touch that complements the south-after fabrics or leather.

Don’t forget that, in fact, the interior of Jeanneau 60 has no less than 19 versions of fittings, so any owner can enjoy a unique design for his boat.
