The 2019 Beneteau Oceanis 51.1 represents the pinnacle of French production yacht design — a serious bluewater cruiser that doesn't ask you to choose between offshore capability and onboard comfort. Stretching 15.94 metres with a generous 4.80-metre beam, this yacht offers volume and stability that few in her class can match. Below decks, the 3+1 cabin layout delivers genuine liveaboard potential, with a full-beam owner's suite aft, two generous guest cabins forward, and an optional crew or skipper cabin — making her equally at home on extended offshore passages or Mediterranean-style charter.
The Oceanis 51.1 was penned by Berret-Racoupeau Yacht Design with interior work from Nauta Design, resulting in a saloon that feels more like a premium apartment than a yacht cabin. Light floods through large hull windows and the signature fixed coachroof ports, lifting the interior beyond anything her predecessors offered. Now offered at a reduced price of NZD $725,000, this Auckland-based example presents exceptional value for the discerning buyer seeking a capable, stylish and well-sorted bluewater yacht.
Inspections are strongly encouraged — this one won't sit long.
