Beneteau Oceanis 46.1

Main Description
For sale by first owner. Genuinely well cared for and presented in overall great condition. 5-cabin layout with commercial certification for charter operation.

This 2020 Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 offers a rare opportunity to acquire a modern, twin-rudder cruising yacht from Beneteau's multi award winning, seventh generation Oceanis range, in single ownership since new.


Designed by Pascal Conq with interior styling from Nauta Design, the Oceanis 46.1 was named Yacht of the Year at Düsseldorf and remains one of the most sought-after yachts in her class on the used market, prized equally by private owners and charter operators for her blend of volume, performance and ease of handling. Built in GRP with a chined hull for maximum interior volume without compromising sailing performance, she is powered by a Yanmar 4JH80 80hp diesel, and fitted with both air conditioning and a generator for year round comfort.  


Configured and certified for professional charter use, she carries current commercial passenger certification for 12 persons by day and 11 by night on local voyages, making her equally well suited to continued charter operation or conversion to private ownership. A genuinely well-specified, ready to sail Oceanis 46.1 in very good general condition.

Broker Comments


Held by the same owning company since she left the factory in 2020, BLUE ODYSSEY comes with exactly the kind of clean, single thread history we like to bring to market. The owners have grown their interests in other directions and, quite simply, no longer have the time to give her the attention she deserves - hence the sale of a genuinely well cared for boat, rather than one that's been left to run down. She presents in very good general condition throughout and servicing has been kept up diligently across the board, including regular Yanmar engine servicing, and we're happy to provide the full service history to a serious enquirer.  


The Oceanis 46.1 remains one of the standout models in Beneteau's range; the chined hull gives her saloon and cabin volume that would have been unheard of on a 46-footer a decade ago, without giving up the sea manners that make her a genuinely capable passage boat. Five cabins and three heads is a proper charter-grade layout, and the fitted air conditioning, generator, bow thruster and full Raymarine suite reflect a well equipped boat kept ready to go.
