This 2023 Beneteau Oceanis 30.1 is fresh to the Auckland market and barely used, drawn by Finot-Conq with interior styling from Nauta Design. The 30.1 marked a real step forward in small yacht design when it launched, pairing a wide chined hull with a deep, high-aspect keel for grip and speed upwind. At 9.53m LOA with a 2.99m beam and 1.88m draft, she sails flat, tracks true and rewards a hand on the helm.
Below, the two-cabin layout is bright and practical, built for weekend cruising couples or short-handed racing crews rather than cramped charter numbers. Deck hardware is laid out for simple, safe handling, with controls led aft to the cockpit so sail changes happen without leaving the wheel. Offered at NZD $349,000 and recently reduced, this Oceanis 30.1 suits an owner after a near-new, low-hours yacht without the wait or premium of a new build order.
She's a well-priced entry into contemporary French yacht design, suited equally to Hauraki Gulf cruising or club racing, and ready to sail from Auckland now.
