2026 Beneteau Oceanis 51.1

The Oceanis 51.1 represents the first iteration of Beneteau's redesigned cruising sailboat line, defined by clean hull forms and a modern stepped bottom. At 51 feet in length with a 15-foot beam, this fiberglass sloop offers a contemporary platform for extended cruising and blue-water sailing.

The deck layout has been rethought for this generation, with purposeful spacing and logical traffic flow. Below, the interior accommodates two heads and sleeping quarters distributed throughout the hull, allowing flexibility in how cruising teams organize their time aboard.

Power comes from a Yanmar auxiliary engine, standard for reliable auxiliary propulsion during calm conditions or close-quarter maneuvering. The stepped hull design aims to improve efficiency and performance under sail, a core feature of this new generation of Oceanis cruisers.
