Beneteau 57 – Bluewater Liveaboard Yacht | 2nd Chance II
For those seeking a highly capable and continuously maintained Beneteau 57, 2nd Chance II presents a fantastic opportunity to own one of the finest bluewater liveaboard sailing yachts on the market.
Featuring the sought-after owner’s layout, she offers a spacious master suite aft and two double cabins forward. The converted skipper’s cabin now serves as a dedicated tool room with additional fridge and freezer storage, making her ideal for long-term liveaboard cruising and provisioning for remote destinations.
The vessel features teak decking showing areas of wear consistent with age and use. In some localized sections the teak has thinned, and future owners should anticipate inspection and potential repair or replacement as part of standard ongoing maintenance.
Overview
For those seeking a highly capable and continuously maintained Beneteau 57, 2nd Chance II stands out as a proven bluewater cruiser with thoughtful upgrades and a layout tailored for serious liveaboard use.
Her owner’s layout provides comfort and separation, while the additional storage and provisioning capacity support extended cruising in remote locations.
Performance & Comfort
Built for comfort, self-sufficiency, and ease of handling, 2nd Chance II is well-suited for both ocean crossings and coastal cruising. Hydraulic steering, in-mast furling, and all-electric winches allow for confident shorthanded sailing.

A hydraulic swim platform provides easy access to the water for swimming, diving, or launching a tender.
