Serenity is a privately owned, never chartered 2020 Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 that stands apart from the many ex-charter vessels currently on the market. With exceptionally low engine and generator hours, she presents far closer to a lightly used private yacht than a typical Caribbean listing.
Now aggressively priced at $336,000—with a target price adjustment in progress—Serenity represents one of the best values available in this model. Comparable boats at similar or higher price points have seen heavy charter use, higher hours, and significantly more wear.
Built in the United States, Serenity is not subject to import tariffs, making her an especially attractive option for U.S.-based buyers. She can be easily delivered stateside or remain in the BVI, where she includes three months of prepaid summer storage at Nanny Cay Boatyard.
Unlike standard or lightly optioned sisterships, Serenity has been extensively upgraded by a knowledgeable owner for serious cruising and self-sufficient living aboard. Her equipment includes solar power, watermaker, washer/dryer, dive compressor, Victron energy system, satellite and cellular connectivity, and a full B&G electronics suite with radar, AIS, and FLIR thermal imaging.
The 3-cabin, 2-head layout is one of the most practical configurations offered, featuring a true owner’s cabin forward, two spacious aft cabins, and a bright saloon finished in walnut with Ultraleather upholstery. Both heads include separate shower stalls, and three independent reverse-cycle air conditioning systems provide full climate control.
On deck, she is equally well thought out, with a full cockpit enclosure, upgraded helm pods, custom cushions, electric winches, dinghy davits, grill, and a folding swim platform. Her in-mast furling rig and North Sails gennaker make her easy to handle while still delivering strong sailing performance.
Powered by a Yanmar 57HP engine and supported by an Onan 7.5kW generator, along with a Victron inverter/charger and updated AGM batteries, Serenity is fully equipped for extended cruising without compromise.
If you’ve been comparing Oceanis 46.1s on the market, the difference is immediately clear—Serenity offers private ownership, low hours, premium upgrades, and strong value in a market dominated by ex-charter boats.
She is available now and ready to cruise.
