Beneteau Oceanis 40

Introducing Shayamoa, she’s a fantastic coastal cruiser with the ability to head offshore when required, offering an easy, confidence-inspiring sailing platform. Set up for simple, short-handed sailing, she features in-mast furling and electric halyard winches, with all sail controls led back to the cockpit. Everything can be handled safely without needing to move forward, making her a very manageable boat for couples or family crews.

Her 1.9m draft strikes a great balance between performance and access, giving you solid sailing ability while still getting into plenty of favourite anchorages. With 200L of fuel and 360L of water onboard, she’s well equipped for extended cruising.

The cockpit is a standout. Twin helms create an open, practical layout with excellent visibility under sail, while the walkthrough transom makes access to the water easy at anchor. She is fully enclosed with a well-designed cockpit enclosure offering good headroom, effectively creating an additional living space. It makes all-year cruising comfortable in cooler conditions and provides welcome shade in the height of summer. Safety has been well considered, with solid stainless steel handrails throughout along the lifelines, giving peace of mind when moving around on deck.

Down below, the interior feels homely and welcoming. The linear galley keeps the saloon open and social, and the three-cabin layout provides excellent volume for a 40-footer without compromising sailing performance. She offers genuine comfort, smart design and practical cruising capability in one tidy package.

Well maintained and thoughtfully set up, this Oceanis 40 presents as a very complete cruising boat ready for her next owners to step aboard and enjoy.
