The Beneteau Oceanis 48 is designed with French flair and is perfectly proportioned. Architects Berret Racoupeau have combined cutting-edge design elements from Beneteau's Sense line, with a range of cabin variations so you can tailor the 48 footer to your own requirements.

Sailing the luxurious Oceanis 48 is a joy. The award winning super-large cockpit is a design borrowed from the Beneteau Sense series, the mainsail arch being the most striking feature. The GRP structure runs the mainsheet on blocks, and allows the sheeting to be further down the boom - giving you more control. All lines/controls come back to the cockpit to make it easy to sail this yacht single or short handed.

The 48 includes a chine that rakes aft well above the waterline which keeps the boat flatter under sail, adds interior volume, more stability, less angle of heel and greater speed. The long, low deck profile provides great visibility and sheds water easily. Experience a transom like no other. The award winning electric transom on the Oceanis 48 transforms the aft bench seat into a full-width swim platform at the push of a button, giving you easy access to the water, and extending the large cockpit for extra outdoor living space. Enjoy, Mediterranean-style docking with a comfortable step from boat to dock.

Down the gently angled stairs is spacious area bathed in natural light, thanks to large overhead hatches, cockpit facing windows illuminating the rear cabins, giving extra light to the portside galley. A Fusion system delivers high quality surround sound throughout. If you are chef for the day, enjoy the L-shaped galley and three-burner LPG stove, locker space, a top-opening 85 litre icebox and front-opening fridge/freezer.

Prepare meals for family and guests on an island-style bench adjoining the companionway, where twin sinks are put to good use. The team at Beneteau have made sure the Oceanis 48 can be tailor made to suit your lifestyle and sailing needs. Standard accommodation includes two or three cabins with two heads but you can also get the family version, with up to four cabins and four heads. Enter the spacious owner's suite through double doors.... This impressive private cabin is forward in all layout variations, and has an oversized ensuite and plenty of storage.
