The 2011 Beneteau Oceanis 40 represents one of the most successful cruising yacht designs to emerge from the renowned French shipyard — a boat that perfectly balances performance, comfort and offshore capability. Stretching 12.15 metres with a beam of 3.91 metres, this monohull offers generous interior volume rarely seen at this length, with three well-appointed cabins providing comfortable accommodation for family or crew on extended passages. The 1.9-metre draft gives her confident stability offshore while remaining manageable in most New Zealand anchorages and marinas.
Beneteau's Oceanis line has long been the benchmark for production cruising yachts, and the Oceanis 40 is no exception — combining a stiff, responsive hull with thoughtful deck ergonomics that make short-handed sailing a genuine pleasure. The wide, sociable cockpit and functional saloon layout make her equally suited to weekend harbour sailing or ambitious offshore cruising. Now offered in Auckland at NZD $197,000, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-regarded bluewater-capable yacht from one of the world's most trusted builders.
Inspections are strongly encouraged — this Beneteau Oceanis 40 is ready to take her next owner wherever the wind leads.
