DescriptionThe Beneteau Oceanis 46 is widely regarded as one of the most successful cruising yachts produced by Beneteau, combining excellent sailing performance with the comfort, practicality and accommodation required for extended cruising. This particular example is the highly sought-after Owner's Version, featuring a spacious two-cabin layout that offers significantly more living space, storage and comfort than the more common three and four-cabin configurations.
Designed by the renowned Berret-Racoupeau team, she provides an ideal balance between enjoyable sailing characteristics and luxurious onboard living. Her generous beam creates a bright and welcoming interior with a large saloon, well-equipped galley and an impressive owner's cabin, making her particularly well suited to couples planning extended cruising, liveaboard life or longer passages.
The current owner has clearly maintained and upgraded the yacht with cruising in mind rather than simply day sailing. With only 1,513 engine hours, she benefits from a comprehensive specification that includes a bow thruster, feathering propeller, electric windlass with remote control, electric halyard winch, radar, AIS transponder, solar panels and wind generation. These upgrades not only enhance comfort and safety but also represent substantial investment that a new owner will not need to undertake.
Particularly noteworthy are the more recent major expenditures. The standing rigging was renewed in 2017, while both the Saturn fully battened mainsail and furling genoa were replaced in 2019. Such items are often significant considerations when evaluating a yacht of this size and age, and their replacement adds greatly to her appeal as a genuinely turn-key cruising yacht.
On deck, the spacious cockpit provides excellent comfort and visibility under sail, while the twin-wheel arrangement allows easy movement throughout the cockpit whether sailing short-handed or entertaining guests. Below decks, the accommodation feels both practical and luxurious, with abundant storage and a layout that has made the Owner's Version particularly popular amongst serious cruising sailors.
The yacht is currently lying on the Clyde, one of the UK's finest cruising grounds, where prospective purchasers can fully appreciate both her sailing qualities and onboard comfort. She presents as a well-cared-for and thoughtfully upgraded example of this highly respected model.
For those seeking a capable offshore cruiser, comfortable liveaboard or a yacht ready for extended adventures, this Oceanis 46 offers a rare combination of desirable owner's layout, sensible upgrades, low engine hours and cruising readiness. Opportunities to acquire Owner's Version examples in this condition are increasingly uncommon, and early viewing is recommended.
