Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 Just Listed

Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 | AZKENEAN
AZKENEAN is an exceptionally well-equipped and privately owned Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 configured specifically for offshore cruising and extended liveaboard use.
Unlike many Oceanis 46.1 examples configured primarily for charter service, this yacht benefits from the highly desirable 3-cabin owners layout together with a remarkable inventory of cruising upgrades including Starlink Maritime, Iridium GO!, lithium battery system, solar arch with rigid solar panels, PredictWind DataHub, Rainman watermaker and a comprehensive B&G electronics suite.


A major highlight is the documented 2023 Selden re-rig package including replacement mast, standing rigging, running rigging, boom and associated deck equipment representing a substantial investment and effectively resetting one of the largest future ownership costs on a yacht of this size. This change was made, not as a result of an accident however a conscious decision to upgrade the rigging to a real blue water standard.  


Additional recent expenditure includes fresh Elvström sails, Torqeedo electric outboard, safety equipment servicing, engine servicing, antifouling and ongoing professional maintenance.


The interior presents in clean, lightly used condition and offers a bright, contemporary atmosphere with excellent natural light, generous storage and comfortable accommodation throughout.


A very serious cruising specification on one of the most successful modern production offshore cruisers in her class.

Brokers Comments


AZKENEAN is a particularly well-prepared example of the ever-popular Beneteau Oceanis 46.1, privately owned and clearly equipped with proper cruising in mind. Unlike many examples that have seen charter use, she features the desirable three-cabin owners arrangement together with an excellent inventory for extended time afloat, including Starlink Maritime, lithium batteries, solar charging, watermaker and a very comprehensive B&G navigation suite. A notable feature is the extensive 2023 Selden re-rig, with new mast, boom and rigging throughout a very significant recent investment and a major advantage for her next owner.


She has also benefited from recent sails, engine servicing, antifouling and ongoing professional care, all of which is reflected in her smart overall presentation. Below decks, the light and contemporary interior feels exceptionally welcoming, with generous accommodation, excellent storage and plenty of natural light throughout. Comfortable, capable and sensibly upgraded, AZKENEAN offers a very appealing turnkey cruising package indeed.
