The 2011 Beneteau Oceanis 40 represents one of the finest expressions of French yacht-building expertise — a sleek, capable bluewater cruiser that balances genuine offshore performance with exceptional onboard comfort. Stretching 12.15 metres on deck with a generous 3.91-metre beam, this monohull delivers the interior volume and stability that cruising couples and families demand, without sacrificing the sailing dynamics Beneteau is celebrated for worldwide. Below decks, the Oceanis 40 offers three well-appointed cabins, making her an outstanding choice for extended coastal passages, liveaboard weekends, or crewed bluewater adventures.
The 1.9-metre draft gives confident access to deeper anchorages while providing excellent upwind performance under sail. Built in 2011, this example sits in the sweet spot of the model's production run — benefitting from refined engineering and a proven hull design by Beneteau's naval architecture team. Now available in Auckland, she is ideally positioned for exploring the Hauraki Gulf, cruising northward to the Bay of Islands, or embarking on a Pacific passage.
A compelling opportunity at NZD $197,000 for a serious bluewater yacht with proven pedigree. Inspection strongly encouraged.
