Beneteau Oceanis 47 Boats For Sale

The Beneteau Oceanis 47 is the eighth generation of the Oceanis line, a ground-up redesign introduced as a 2026 model and shown for the first time at the Annapolis boat show. The hull measures just shy of 48 feet overall with a beam of about 14 feet 9 inches carried nearly to the transom, and displacement sits around 24,000 pounds. It carries a CE Category A rating for up to 10 people, making this 47 ft Beneteau capable of offshore passages while staying manageable for a couple. Anyone shopping for a 47 foot Beneteau sailboat is looking at a comfort-focused cruiser aimed at couples and small families stepping up from the 35-to-40-foot range, not a stripped-down racer.

Draft depends on keel choice: 6 feet 2 inches for the shallow fin or 8 feet 1 inch for the deep version, both bolt-on fin keels supported by an internal grid structure. The deep keel sails better and points higher, while the shallow keel opens up skinny-water anchorages in Florida, the Bahamas, and the Chesapeake at the cost of upwind ability. A near full-length chine runs aft from the bow, adding form stability when heeled and interior volume without slowing the boat. Under sail she settles in at six to seven knots on a beam reach in about 10 knots of breeze, with twin rudders giving direct, balanced control. A First version with a taller mast and extra sail area is offered for those who want more power in light air.

Power comes from a Yanmar diesel on a sail drive, with 54/57 or 80 horsepower options; the 80 is described as silky smooth and quiet, and even the smaller engine is plenty for the boat. The Oceanis 47 carries 52 gallons of fuel and close to 100 gallons of fresh water. Twin helms each carry a 12-inch Raymarine multifunction display, with a second smaller Raymarine readout for speed, depth, and wind. Electric two-speed Harken primary and secondary winches lead back to the helms, joined by a bow thruster, electronic engine controls, a remote anchor windlass with chain counter, carbon wheels, and a smartphone charging base. Solar panels are an option, and the running rigging is led under the deck for clean sightlines.

The cockpit is the standout feature: twin outboard tables that raise, lower, and accept a filler to form one large dining surface or convert to a sun pad, with the center kept open. An optional center module holds a grill, the outboard seats fold up, and an electric drop-down swim platform forms a full-width terrace with a swim ladder. Buyers can specify a closed transom centerpiece and a stern galley. The main sheet leads to an arch that doubles as structure for a dodger and bimini, and the rig uses German sheeting. Deck options include an Iroko end-grain deck that mimics teak (teak imports are restricted in North America and Europe) or genuine teak side decks, plus a 104% genoa or a self-tacking jib track and a composite bow sprit rigged for a Code Zero and asymmetric spinnaker.

Below deck the eighth-generation Oceanis introduces a new Alpi wood veneer, a tone between walnut and light oak, with Corian countertops and a glued-down hard Mica sole. The galley has a two-burner gimballed stove and oven, dual stainless sinks, a front-loading refrigerator, a top-loading freezer, and a microwave. A consolidated electrical panel sits just inside the companionway so lighting, electronics, water pump, fridge, inverter, shore power, and tankage can be checked and switched at a glance. Layouts run from an owner's version with a forward island master and one aft cabin to a three-cabin, two-head arrangement; the owner's suite includes a separate head and shower stall and a Jabsco electric head. Hull windows, overhead hatches with integrated shades and screens, and a forward-facing nav station keep the saloon bright. For anyone weighing a Beneteau 47 for sale, the trade-offs are the broad beam and tall freeboard that make docking in a crosswind require planning, and a ride that is comfortable rather than wave-slicing on heavier offshore legs.
