Bénéteau Oceanis 46.1 (sailboat) for sale

Remarks :
Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 — a contemporary and highly capable cruising yacht designed by Pascal Conq with exterior and interior styling by Nauta Design. Built for the European market and delivered in 2022, she is offered for sale in very good overall condition with approximately 1000 engine hours and a well-chosen specification that reflects both offshore competence and cruising comfort.
The Oceanis 46.1 is one of the most thoughtfully engineered cruising yachts of her generation: a stepped hull that adds interior volume without compromising seakeeping, twin-wheel steering, and a deck layout designed to be managed by two people. Norse of Course is fitted with the 80hp Yanmar option engine, deep-draught cast iron keel, the B&G Offshore electronics pack, bow thruster, diesel forced-air heating, upwind and downwind sail pack with Code 0, and a full cockpit enclosure. She is a genuinely capable and practical yacht ready for extended cruising.

BROKER'S REMARKS
Norse of Course is a well-specified and lightly used example of one of Beneteau's most accomplished current designs — a yacht that has clearly been ordered by someone who thought carefully about both offshore capability and day-to-day comfort. The B&G Offshore pack, bow thruster, forced-air heating, and Code 0 with bowsprit are not standard fitments, and their presence points to a buyer who intended to use the yacht seriously rather than simply own her.
The 4-cabin, 2-heads layout in white oak Alpi is practical and well-proportioned, working particularly well for a couple with guests. The cockpit is sociable and well-equipped — teak sole, full enclosure, Luxe table, and bimini — and the fully opening transom platform makes coming ashore or swimming straightforward. Below, headroom throughout is generous for a yacht of this length, and the interior has the quality of finish that the Nauta Design brief intended.
With approximately 1000 hours on the 80hp Yanmar and a delivery year of 2022, this is a yacht with most of her life ahead of her. She is offered at a realistic price for an early inspection.
