Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 — Greece The Oceanis 46.1 follows one of the most successful cruising hulls Beneteau has ever built, and it does so with a clear brief: more volume below, no loss of pace on the water. The bow is fuller than that of the Oceanis 45 she succeeds, and the difference is felt immediately inside — the interior gains real usable space without dulling the sailing pedigree the line is known for. Accommodation runs to four cabins, each with a double bed, for a total of ten guests. It is a layout that suits families sailing together or two or three couples who want their own space at the end of the day, without the compromise of sleeping arrangements shuffled around the saloon. Greece is where this yacht makes the most sense. Short hops between islands, anchorages reachable in an afternoon, and enough sail area to make the passage part of the pleasure rather than a transfer between beaches. Under sail she holds her line comfortably in the meltemi season breeze; at anchor, the cockpit becomes the natural centre of the day. The crew handles the sailing, the itinerary and the shore logistics — the mooring calls, the tavernas worth the detour, the bays best visited before the day boats arrive. Their local knowledge is what turns a chart into a week you would repeat.
