For the price it's a outstanding boat
Really tired of the stock light “wood” IKEA finish in the Grand Trawler. Change it up Beneteau , come up with a darker wood finish that doesn’t look like cheap flat-pack junk.
I have to agree with you on the colors. A darker more expensive, nautical look is better on a larger yacht. This is not a condo it is a yacht. And while I and not personally familiar with the Brand, from observing the Beneteau videos and watching reviews I seem to get the impression these may be “built to a price” boats. Or as someone in the building trades once said would say they are using “builders grade “ materials for the interiors. It may be a fine handling yacht but the interior looks kinda IKEA like.
They have darker wood finishes and upholstery available. The fact that you don’t see it much in the videos and reviews probably tells you which is more popular.
@@chrishowe2935 Yes, I get that. Colors, fabrics,et al, are only fillers inside a hull. Just like at home, furniture, art work, draperies, fixtures are simply fillers inside the frame and structure of a house. And it is all subjective. I want a nautical look on a boat, - it certainly need not have to be wall to wall teak and mahogany, but on a boat where things can get wet - and sometimes dirty - I do not want whites and beiges to show every spot. Unless you have a crew to keep up with this stuff, you or the Mrs will expend more time cleaning that enjoying the boat. Boats have been described as demanding mistresses, which are always in a high, constant and expensive state of maintenance: so having relatively maintenance free fabrics and colors are certainly a plus in any boat I would own
Pretty...
The fittings look pretty basic but I really like that. No extravagant marble or gold or anything. Just homely and comfortable
