The Sense 46 - Designed for Exceptional Cruising

Every detail reflects simplicity, space, and security, creating an environment where time feels unhurried and every moment is yours to enjoy. From stern to bow, the design is organized into three distinct living areas: open to the world, shared spaces for connection, and private quarters for relaxation
A standout feature is the large swim platform, perfect for scuba diving adventures or securing a dinghy for easy boarding. This thoughtful design ensures effortless access to the water, enhancing both leisure and practicality.
Adding to its unique appeal, the Sense 46 offers only three steps down from the cockpit into the salon, creating a bright, open layout that delivers the airy, connected feel of a catamaran-on a monohull.
Escape with confidence, experience the joy of effortless sailing, and share unforgettable moments on the water. The Sense 46 combines innovation, comfort, and control-delivering a new standard in cruising.
Many recent upgrades (2025) include standing rigging, Victron inverter, bottom job, Star Link mount, Yanmar Sail Drive SD-60, head sail, bow thruster, electric flush fresh water toilets, cockpit chairs and much more.
Exterior design
Designed to sail closer to the water, her moderate heel is ideal for a more relaxed cruise. Offering the utmost in safety and performance, the Sense 50's spacious cockpit includes a dual helm and plenty of space under the sails.
Interior design
Only three steps through the gently sloped companionway connect the brilliance of life outdoors to the sophisticated interior. A full beam salon and wraparound view, paired with the comfortable settee and oversized galley, make the Sense 46’s interior comparable to that of a catamaran.

Surrounded by windows, the interior is bathed in natural light and provides a panoramic view of the horizon.

The Biggest Pros and Cons
The 2014 Beneteau Sense 46 is a popular cruising sailboat known for its modern design and comfortable accommodations. Here are some of the key pros and cons of this model:
Pros
Spacious and Light-Filled Interior: The Sense 46 features a bright, open layout with large windows and a well-thought-out interior that maximizes natural light and space, providing a comfortable living environment for extended cruising.
Innovative Deck Layout: Its low-profile coachroof and wide side decks make moving around the boat safer and easier, while the cockpit is designed for socializing and ease of handling.
Good Performance: The Sense 46 offers balanced sailing performance, with a well-designed hull and sail plan that provide stability and responsiveness under various wind conditions.
Comfortable Accommodations: Typically configured with two cabins and two heads, it offers comfortable sleeping quarters and practical amenities for cruising couples or small families.
Quality Build: Built by Beneteau, it benefits from solid construction and reliable systems, ensuring durability and ease of maintenance.
Cons
Limited Cabin Privacy: With its open-plan interior, the Sense 46 may offer less privacy compared to more traditional layouts with separate cabins and bulkheads.
Less Storage Space: The focus on open living areas can result in somewhat limited storage options below deck, which might be a consideration for long-term cruisers.
Performance Trade-offs: While balanced, the Sense 46 is designed more for cruising comfort than high-speed racing, so it may not satisfy sailors seeking top-end performance.
Low Coachroof: Although it enhances aesthetics and visibility, the lower coachroof height can limit headroom in some interior areas compared to other models.
Price Point: As a relatively modern and well-equipped cruiser, it may come at a higher price compared to older or more basic sailboats in the same size range.
