Beneteau Oceanis 46.1

Cruising pleasure takes its form on the Oceanis 46.1, the ultimate family cruise. An intelligent, elegant and modern sailboat that finds its balance between spaciousness and performance.

Fast, agile and responsive, it responds precisely to the helm. Its ease of handling and safety provide extra peace of mind for family sailing, while every detail of life on board is designed to be enjoyed.

Continuing with the essence of the range, the Oceanis 46.1 offers a wide assortment of configurations that allow the boat to be customized based on the needs and navigation program of each owner.

Exterior design

The furling mast, the self-tacking jib and the set of halyards and sheets carried on a single winch to each steering position guarantee easy handling even with a reduced crew. This simplicity and safety are reinforced by a very efficient roof plan.

The design of the lines of the hull allows you to enjoy a large cockpit, with an optional folding table that can accommodate up to 8 people on the L-shaped benches. In addition to this recreation area, there are two individual solariums, located on the descents with built-in reclining backrest and cup holder.

Interior design

Thanks to the design of the hull, in a concave line from the bow to mid-length, and to the hull with bilge, more interior space is achieved that provides greater comfort and habitability, while maintaining navigation performance. This design makes it possible to create an excellent owner's cabin in the bow that includes a separate toilet, representative of a larger sailboat.

The interiors offer a high level of customization ranging from options in wood, light oak or dark mahogany, to the configuration of the kitchen. All this accompanied by a great entrance of natural light thanks to the size and distribution of the different gates.

This model can be configured with the galley “along”, in the very centre of the saloon, or aft in an L-shape. The galley does not simply represent a functional space but is aligned with the goal of the entire boat: be comfortable and enjoy life on board.

What we highlight

·        Configuration for each navigation program: from the First Line version that can provide extraordinary cruising sensations, thanks to an added 1 meter mast length, 28% increased sail area, high-end rigging and deep bulbous lead keel, to the options of five cabins or the basic standard version, Beneteau gives answers to the needs and preferences of each owner.

·       Large bathing platform: Following the premise of easy access to the sea, this Oceanis 46.1 offers a very wide bathing platform, which guarantees comfort and convenience, with measurements of 2.65m x 0.80m, intermediate step that facilitates access and electric opening with remote control.

·       Reliable navigation: This sailboat stands out for its stability of course with the double rudder and for its balance. It is not a minor fact that the members of the jury of the European Yacht of the Year distinction have said of that “it sails as well as it looks”.
