1997 Beneteau Oceanis 461

The 1997 Beneteau Oceanis 461 is a 46-foot fiberglass cruising sailboat with a 14-foot beam and single 75 hp Yanmar diesel engine. The spacious main salon takes full advantage of the beam width, with a U-shaped settee that comfortably seats multiple people. The navigation station provides dedicated space for chart work, electronics, and the electrical panel. The galley is well organized with ample counter space, a top-loading refrigerator/freezer, and storage throughout. An expandable cherry table in the main cabin converts to a double berth, and the interior features cherry wood trim with a high-gloss sole.

The cockpit is generously proportioned with a folding table, teak inlaid seating, and cushions. A swim platform with boarding gates port and starboard makes water access straightforward. The boat carries fresh water in three plastic tanks totaling 207 gallons, diesel fuel in a 50-gallon aluminum tank, and has two holding tanks at 30 gallons combined.

Systems and equipment reflect recent work. The mast features in-mast furling with a 2019 mainsail by North Sails. Battery capacity was upgraded in 2025 with two Group 4D AGM house batteries and one Deka 31 starting battery, along with a Blue Seas 120 amp combiner. The electrical system runs 12 and 110 volt circuits with shore power capability. A Maxwell windlass was installed in 2019, and through-hull fittings, shaft, propeller, and impeller were replaced that same year. The bottom was recently done in 2025. A Standard Horizon VHF, compass, manual and electric bilge pumps, hot water heater, and cockpit shower round out the onboard systems.
