Beneteau Oceanis 30.1

The Oceanis 30.1 is easy to sail but lively to helm and promises new experiences and thrills. This robust little smart cruiser is small enough to trail, opening up endless possibilities for sailing on lakes and rivers, as well as coastal sailing and high sea adventures.

EXTERIOR DESIGN

With a stemhead and her hard-chine hull and well-proportioned sides and coachroof, the Oceanis 30.1 looks unashamedly like a small yacht. The Finot-Conq plan has met the double challenge of power and simple navigation. With her slender bow, optimized weight, stiff canvas, and square-top mainsail, she performs well in all points of sailing. For beginners or for short-handed sailing, the self-tailing jib and the single winch make her easy to handle. For performance, the Oceanis 30.1 has a large overlapping genoa, a furling code zero, and an asymmetric spinnaker. Aft, a step affords access to the sea and can be supplemented by a small lifting platform.

INTERIOR DESIGN

With a few extra centimeters won in strategic places the Oceanis 30.1 differs from other boats, thanks to a headspace of 1.98 m in all the places inside where it is comfortable to stand. The two good-sized double cabins each have berths running lengthwise and an open entryway making them feel particularly spacious. The two benches in the saloon provide an additional place for two extra berths. The large shower room is divided into a marine toilet on one side and a shower and washbasin on the other. At the foot of the gently sloping companionway, the L-shaped galley has top and bottom storage, a 75-liter refrigerator and a real oven under the gas hob.

FOR EVERYONE

With unbeatable living space for its size and a focus on the simplicity of use, the smallest model of the cruising range is nevertheless stylish, and fast, with a highly competitive ready-to-sail price.
