BENETEAU Oceanis 40.1 – Spacious, Stylish & High-Performance Cruiser

The BENETEAU Oceanis 40.1 sets a new standard in the 40-foot cruiser class with an innovative hull by Marc Lombard that delivers impressive sailing performance without compromising interior volume or onboard comfort. Her flared hull and generous beam create a level of deck and cabin space rarely found in this size range — evoking the feel of a much larger yacht while maintaining agile, responsive handling under sail. Whether you’re coastal cruising, weekend adventuring, or exploring farther afield, this yacht blends effortless sailing with refined comfort.

Above deck, a thoughtful layout features twin helm stations for confident control, wide side decks for easy movement, and a fold-down swim platform that expands your waterside lifestyle. With multiple sail options — including a self-tacking jib and in-mast furling for easy short-handed sailing, or the performance-oriented First Line rig with taller mast and deeper draft — the Oceanis 40.1 adapts to your sailing style.

Below, abundant natural light floods the interior through large hull portlights and coachroof openings, showcasing Italian-designed living spaces by Nauta Design. Available in two-, three-, or four-cabin layouts with up to two heads, the bright, modular interior includes a spacious C-shaped galley, generous saloon seating with a removable bench, and flexible accommodations perfect for family cruising or for welcoming guests.

Elegant, comfortable, and versatile, the Oceanis 40.1 is a standout choice for sailors seeking a modern cruiser that delivers exceptional volume, refined style, and rewarding performance on every voyage.

Comfort and practicality are hallmarks — from spacious berths and clever storage solutions to easy-to-use systems. Equipped with Seanapps connectivity, you can now monitor boat systems, tank levels, maintenance status, and alerts right from your smartphone—making ownership easier and safer, with peace of mind wherever your adventures take you.
