47' Beneteau Cruisers

This very clean Beneteau 46 could be an “ultimate boat” for many sailors who have experience in smaller vessels and are now looking for a stylish, fast, spacious boat that they can continue to sail into their retirement years. She is a single-owner vessel. She never chartered. Was lightly used for Catalina weekends. She is in stunning condition.

The 46 is built in a conventional, proven way. The hull is solid hand-laid fiberglass, and the deck has a core except where deck fittings are mounted. The outer surface is vinylester to resist osmotic blistering. The bulkheads are bonded all around to the deck and hull to form a strong, rigid structure.

The low cabin top, which makes it easy to scamper anywhere on deck, also ensures excellent visibility for the helmsman. If you look around, you’ll find plenty of grab points; molded-in teak rails blend neatly with the cabin, while more-obvious stainless handholds carry the crew’s security forward.

She is the 2 cabins version of this very popular Beneteau.

Besides the attractive, bright, clean look below deck, the most striking feature of this Beneteau 46 is its unique aft cabin. The diagonal berth is easy to reach from three sides and adds headroom where it’s most needed. This arrangement will be very comfortable in port. The saloon is a pleasant gathering spot for the crew and guests, and the nav station is handy to the companionway.

The sizable shower compartment in the main head can also serve as a wet locker for dripping clothes, and there’s a smaller shower for the forward cabin. The galley is well equipped and easy to brace in while underway.

?The Beneteau 46 has style, space, and powerful performance. When sailed properly, it promises to be a fine, fast cruiser for a couple or a small family.
