Charter Yacht Description

Amicus was designed by Jean-Marie Finot for Beneteau of France as an Oceanis 40CC and adapted during design to suit cruising in the Caribbean. She was built and launched in October 2000 and sailed across the Atlantic. We had our first Caribbean period on her in December of 2000 and have been in love with her since.

She is designed as a responsive cruiser for owners and two guests. Cool and spacious with two large en-suite cabins and plenty of deck space. She is a joy to sail, dry, secure and light to handle. Novices will take to her solid centre cockpit layout with all controls readily to hand. The electric windlass raises and lowers the anchor at the touch of a button. At the stern, steps lead down to the swim platform for easy access in and out of the water, with a hot freshwater shower to immediately wash off the salt water. The spacious cockpit is enhanced by an extensive bimini making it possible to choose shade or sun at all times, including at sail. It allows you to enjoy your candlelit dining even when the Caribbean decides it is time for some wind or rain. The centre cockpit design incorporates an extensive flat aft deck. This safe area provides the setting for sunbathing, relaxing, working out, massage treatments, sun-downers and star gazing.
