Beneteau Oceanis 40.1

2021 BENETEAU OCEANIS 40.1 "BALMORAL" - $475,000

A beautifully presented and highly specified example of Beneteau's hugely successful Oceanis 40.1, Balmoral combines impressive sailing performance with the space, comfort and ease of handling normally associated with a considerably larger yacht.

Designed by Marc Lombard with interiors by Nauta Design, the Oceanis 40.1 has become one of the standout cruising yachts of its generation. Her modern hull design delivers excellent stability and performance under sail, while the generous beam creates an exceptionally spacious cockpit and interior.

Balmoral is configured in the highly desirable three-cabin, two-head layout, finished in warm walnut timber. The light-filled saloon and well-equipped C-shaped galley provide excellent accommodation for family cruising or entertaining, complemented by a large 190L refrigerator/freezer, gas oven and cooktop, hot water and a comprehensive 230V electrical system with inverter.

On deck, she has been set up for effortless short-handed sailing. An in-mast furling mainsail, self-tacking jib, electric cabin-top winch and bow thruster make her remarkably easy to manage, whether sailing as a couple or manoeuvring around the marina.

Navigation equipment includes a comprehensive B&G electronics package with Zeus multifunction display, Triton instrumentation, NAC3 autopilot, wind and speed instrumentation, V60 VHF and AIS receiver.

Power comes from the 45hp Yanmar diesel with shaft drive, while her cruising inventory includes a Highfield inflatable tender (new 2026) electric outboard bimini and dodger, BBQ, electric opening swim platform and good battery capacity.

The enormous cockpit is one of the defining features of the Oceanis 40.1, providing a superb entertaining area and easy access to the water through the electric opening swim platform. Quality Harken and Spinlock deck hardware completes a yacht designed to make cruising simple and enjoyable.

Offering an excellent combination of performance, contemporary design and genuine cruising comfort, Balmoral represents an opportunity to step straight into a late-model Oceanis 40.1 without the wait associated with a new yacht.
