Beneteau Oceanis 48

Few boats balance the thrill of sailing with the comfort of home quite like the Beneteau Oceanis 48 designed by Berret-Racoupeau and brought to life by Beneteau. This USA built model is a large versatile monohull featuring four cabins, each with en-suite bathroom, and a spacious saloon, galley and cockpit layout ideal for families or as a cruising live-aboard.

Inside, large portholes illuminate the 48's air-conditioned interior. The saloon includes a u-shaped settee around a convertible drop-down table and a well-appointed galley with everything you need for dining at sea--from a three burner gas cooker to a refrigerator with freezer, sink, and storage for cookware. Light taupe cushions are complimented by contemporary oak-coloured woodwork amplifying the ambiance of this stylish yacht.

Outside, the Oceanis 48 features an electrically controlled opening transom that converts to a convenient swim platform, while the mainsail arch and centred rig allow for increased stability, unimpeded manoeuvrability around the cockpit and comfort in a variety of conditions. Handling is a breeze with dual helms and all lines led aft to the cockpit, electric halyard winch and the B & G Navigation system includes a large screen plotter, Autopilot, AIS, electric windlass, bow thruster and an 80 hp Yanmar diesel engine with modest hours and a generator round out this fully equipped yacht.

The owner has just completed a once in a lifetime Pacific Ocean crossing and the boat has now been fully imported with taxes paid and electrics upgraded for 240v compliance. All new air-conditioning units have been installed and she comes with a new Highfield Tender and 9.8HP outboard and new canvas for the bimini. Rigging is under the 10 year limit preferred by insurers and she has been antifouled plus propspeed applied at the beginning of 2024.

This is a great opportunity to get into a big, modern sailboat with proven ocean passage capability at a very sharp price. Located at Horizon Shores in Queensland, mid-way between Brisbane and the Gold Coast and just an hour or so from either airport.
