Beneteau Oceanis 40.1

Oceanis 40.1 – Excitement under sail

The Beneteau Oceanis 40.1 follows in the design tradition of its larger sister, the 51.1, with a newly-designed hull and unrivaled space both on deck and below. Designed by renowned naval architect Marc Lombard, with interior and deck design by Nauta Design, the 40.1 will impress even the most discriminating sailor with its superior performance and comfort under sail. 

This seventh generation 42-foot cruiser offers enhanced balance, and the new flared hull design supports speed and stiffness under sail – maintaining an optimal deck plan and supremely spacious interior with the feel of a yacht much larger than its length.

An array of options for your sailing style

The Oceanis 40.1 sailboat is decidedly fast, fun, and easy to sail with its twin helm stations with lift-up seats, and twin rudders that offer stability and gentle precision steering. 

Available in a variety of different layouts, drafts and rigging, the 40.1 has an option for every cruising and liveaboard lifestyle. The standard in-mast furling system and self-tacking jib make short-handed maneuvers a breeze, while the First Line version provides a taller mast and several other performance upgrades to make the most of the hull’s potential. A choice of 3 keels will adapt to your sailing grounds.

Uncommon space & flow

The ergonomic C-shaped cockpit offers uncommon spaciousness, flow and functionality with plenty of space for a crew of 8 to enjoy the cushioned bench seating and large drop-leaf dinette table with optional refrigerator. Clear side decks allow easy movement from the bow all the way to the transom.

Swimming, sunbathing and leisure time awaits on the huge fold-down slatted teak bathing platform – similar in size to larger Oceanis models – with telescoping ladder and hydraulic electric opening option.

Beneteau Oceanis 40.1 interior

The interior spaces are airy, bright and open with a choice of walnut or light oak finishes, ample usable storage, and a surprisingly voluminous feel more associated with larger yachts.  

The U-shaped galley to starboard offers plenty of storage and countertop work space, while the large L-shaped dining area offers seating for 8. Easy movement and efficiency is enhanced by a movable bench and dropdown table. 

Oceanis 40.1 specs provide a choice of layouts including 2-, 3-, or 4-cabin configurations, each with 1 or 2 baths.

From identifying the correct vessel and arranging finance to organizing surveys and negotiating pre-sale repairs with the seller, you handled everything, while keeping me fully informed and feeling like everything was in hand. Over a year in and I’m still happy.

I want to express my thanks and appreciation to your team. I was able to observe how professional and courteous each and every one of your team was to my wife and I – along with the other charter customers getting ready to depart for their sailing adventures. I also want to say thanks for taking good care of our boat. It has been an active winter and spring charter season for our boat and it still looks brand new and well cared after by your maintenance crew.

We recently bought a catamaran, and as new sailors, we did not realize the magnitude of how complex it would be. Not only did they make the whole process seamless, they made it educational and enjoyable. They mentored us and were adamant in making sure we were informed every step of the way. We’re deeply grateful for their help.

I’ve just come back from my Owner stay in Belize from the Placencia base with my family. It’s a base where I met staff who knew the whole fleet, and did their utmost to keep the equipment in good condition. The atmosphere is very family-oriented, and Yoan and Georges are very helpful, attentive and friendly. Georges knows all his boats by heart. We had a catamaran in very good condition and the pre-departure briefing on everything technical was detailed as never before. Yoan runs the base as if it were his own business, everything for DY, and that’s very rare.

I had been thinking for a few years about buying a catamaran, after numerous rentals, so I went to the Grand Pavois and met Gerry Jacob at the Dream Yacht Charter stand. He explained to me perfectly the advantages of the different rental management/boat sales contracts, and I signed for an Astrea 42 the same day. Since then, everything has gone according to plan, I’m delighted and can’t recommend the company enough!

I’ve had a great experience working with DreamYachts in the purchase of my Bali catamaran. Being somewhat nervous in making such a large purchase, I found it to be pleasant and calming in working with you, taking the time to answer my questions and explain the nuances of ownership of a boat. Thanks for making a terrifying experience very enjoyable!
