About this boat

This 1997 Beneteau Oceanis 461 is listed at 45.92 ft in overall length and 14 ft in beam. Awarded the “Boat of the Year” in the full size cruiser category by Cruising World when she was debuted in 1997, this particular vessel was purchased by us in 2015 from Virginia/Chesapeake. December 2022 out of water hull SAMS/ABYC Survey noted “Hull in remarkably good condition” Survey available only to qualified buyers with offer and deposit. Layout is a 3 cabin, 2 head + separate laundry room with sink, washer/dryer. STBD guest cabin holds second freshwater head, shower & wash place. This is probably the single most comfortable, upgraded and highly customized sailing yacht available in this price range, this vessel is the one you could easily live aboard and/or travel in comfort. As you walk through the custom key-lock companionway door (not cumbersome slat boards) the first thing that hits you in the clean, bright and fresh cabin. All bilges and spaces constantly cleaned and maintained. This is huge for absent boat owners as it ensures climate control for interior surfaces and fabrics. Next you can’t help but notice the full length Euro galley with a glistening quartz countertop and sensor touch faucet double sink. A gorgeous high gloss teak and holly sole illuminates the entire space with a warm, golden tone. This is all naturally complimented by a beautiful skylight that doubles as remote control, 4 zone LED night-time detail lighting for upper deck as well as salon and galley. The fully customized quartz galley counter was designed to eliminate the uncomfortable fiddle rail and loss of space and inconvenience to fridge/freezer openings. Tremendous usable counter space for cooking and entertaining. Still much room left for imagination (microwave, shelving, air fryer what have you) or leave as is with Smart TV in place. Galley had been re-designed to best utilize storage areas. Grab the AC remote and set for your comfort desired, same for lighting simply adjust all LED Zones for your mood-which will always be euphoric while aboard.
