On board, you immediately notice the enormous living space. The spacious cockpit offers a lot of seating comfort while sailing and in the harbor, while the light and warm interior provides a lot of comfort during longer stays on board. The wide transom with integrated swimming platform makes swimming, boarding and use in Mediterranean ports particularly practical.
Under sail, the Beneteau Oceanis 40 is known for its safe and predictable behavior. The ship is easy to operate, even with a small crew. Thanks to the balanced rigging and the updated 2025 High Aspect jib, you'll benefit from better upwind performance, more speed in light winds and extra control on longer trips. This makes this yacht not only comfortable, but also surprisingly sporty to sail.
The reliable Yanmar 40 hp diesel engine offers plenty of power for comfortable manoeuvring in ports, sailing on inland waterways and longer motorcycle trips in low winds. This makes the ship very suitable for holidays along the coast, crossing to England or Scandinavia and longer stays on board.
