2020 BENETEAU Oceanis 46.1 - Blue Tide
BUILDERS REMARKS: The Moorings 46.3 is a boat for demanding owners who are on the lookout for a cruiser which will whet the appetites of both crews and bystanders hanging around the marina. The superb design of the hull is the brainchild of Finot-Conq, the famous naval architects working out of Vannes. They have designed a model with a wide-beam, high performance hull, characterized by a novel step one third of the way along, and which is steered by a pair of twin rudders. The uncluttered deck layout and the fact that the hull widens out towards the stern ensures that the helmsman has a reassuringly clear view of what is going on in front of him.
The interior is in the same vein, immediately confirming the impression of quality and good workmanship created up on deck. The gently sloping companionway ensures safe access down to a bright and modern living space, designed with typically Italian flair for style and comfort by Nauta Design, and which your future crews will certainly be eager to discover.
BROKERS REMARKS: BLUE TIDE is now the best value Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 we have listed. You will love this 3 cabin owners layout, as it feels like a private yacht vs a charter vessel.

Manufacturer Provided Description
The Oceanis 46 boasts all the features of a large cruising yacht, with a rare balance between elegance, usable space and performance. Her stepped hull opens up an incredible amount of space inside and yet her seakeeping performance is still impressive. A large number of clever customizable fittings make her easy to sail and pleasantly comfortable.
The Oceanis 46.1 is based on a Finot-Conq plan, keeping the distinctive stepped hull of the 51.1. Apart from her performance at sea and the huge amount of space that set this boat apart, this architecture makes optimal use of the cockpit beam. An incredibly efficient deck plan makes her wonderfully safe and easy to use. The furling mast, self-tailing jib and all the halyards and sheets brought back to a single winch at each of the helm stations make manoeuvring simple when short-handed sailing.
