The vessel is beautifully appointed, meticulously maintained, and thoughtfully upgraded. A custom transom-mounted davit system keeps the tender securely stored and out of the way, while a watermaker and numerous cruising upgrades make her fully equipped for extended time aboard.
Features such as in-mast furling, a powered winch, and all lines led aft to the cockpit allow for easy, efficient sail handling — even when sailing single-handed.
2016 Beneteau Oceanis 48 – Ultimate Bluewater Cruiser & Luxury PassagemakerThe 2016 Beneteau Oceanis 48 represents the pinnacle of modern naval architecture, seamlessly blending exhilarating performance with world-class cruising luxury. Designed by the renowned Berret-Racoupeau team with interior styling by Nauta Design, this elegant sloop features an alluring sleek silhouette and a deck plan highly optimized for effortless shorthanded sailing. Whether you are planning weekend coastal getaways or long-range island hopping, this vessel delivers an exceptionally fast, safe, and comfortable ride.Hull Design & Superior Sailing PerformanceBuilt with Beneteau’s signature hard-chined hull, the Oceanis 48 carries its massive 15'7" beam all the way aft. This innovative chine allows the boat to heel slightly, lock into a groove, and track with phenomenal stability and speed, while dramatically reducing rolling downwind.
- Upwind Sailing: Effortlessly locks into a groove, clocking over 6 knots upwind in just 10 knots of apparent breeze.
- Reaching/Off-Wind: Easily accelerates to 7+ knots as the wind moves aft of the beam, responding beautifully to light-air conditions.
- Handling: Features a centered mast configuration and tight, highly responsive dual-helm steering with absolutely zero wander under sail.
Deck Layout & Unmatched Cockpit ComfortThe expansive twin-wheel cockpit is completely uncluttered and designed for ultimate relaxation and control. All major sail controls and sheets run aft through a pod of clutches to winches positioned within arm's reach of the helmsman, making single-handed operations a reality.
- Award-Winning Electric Transom: At the touch of a button, the entire rear platform lowers to form a massive, teak-inlaid swim deck providing seamless water access.
- Rigging & Arch: The signature mainsail arch keeps the cockpit completely safe and clear of the boom, acting as a rock-solid foundation for the bimini and dodger systems.
Bright, Spacious Luxury Below DeckStepping down the comfortable, gently sloping 45-degree companionway reveals a light-filled oasis framed in premium contemporary woodwork. The hard-chine design creates immense interior volume, illuminated by 9 flush deck hatches and expansive hull portholes for continuous panoramic sea views.
- Gourmet Galley: Features an open L-shaped or linear layout equipped with a front-loading refrigerator, top-loading freezer, three-burner propane stove, oven, microwave, and deep double stainless steel sinks.
- Accommodations: Offers a luxurious private forward Master Suite with a centerline walkaround island berth, a beautiful glass-door walk-in shower, and a separate private head compartment. Two spacious, symmetrical double-berth aft cabins provide ample room and privacy for family and guests.
- Innovative Navigation Center: Features a unique sliding chart table that can be repositioned effortlessly to maximize salon seating or workspace utility.
