Oceanis 41.1: family is everything

OCEANIS 41.1 REVIEW

A sole getaway on a fancy boat can be quite enjoyable. However, with the right companions, the feeling is incredible. The BeneteauOceanis 41.1 2018 model ensures you get the best of your getaway in its spacious cockpit and interior. Also, you can bring your family along.

THE DECK

Right from the dock, at the very entrance of the yacht is a takeaway sight with the broad swim platform, an excellent platform for getting on and off the boat at the docks or for merely chilling while on water.

Thanks to the extensive beam carried all the way to the front, the cockpit is monstrous. There is just more than enough space for you and your family to dine on the cockpit table made of thick varnished wood that can be folded up on both sides. In the center of the table, there are two compartments: ice chest and dry storage compartment. The latter has a 12 V socket to connect cellphones as well as an LED lamp.

On the port side of the cockpit, there is the primary home station with full controls such as the chain counter and anchor control, ensuring that the entire boat can be captained from this side. The whole system of the multifunction screens is linked together so that a control change such as Autopilot mode is seen from the displays on the starboard side and cockpit table. The multifunction screens also touch sensitive and very sophisticated, with the option of viewing the information of other vessels on the water.

The companionway has a slight mainsheet arch over it, with lights integrated on it. Also, the companionway staircase is tilted at 45 degrees for a smooth entrance into the interior of the boat. Under this staircase is the engine compartment room that holds a 45 horsepower Yamaha diesel engine. The compartment is well placed and easy to get in for routine checks.

INTERIOR

Directly on the port side of the interior is the galley. It contains a large stainless steel sink as well as a large refrigerator with top and bottom loading. There is also room for lots of storage, with a microwave oven hanging directly above the sink.

Beyond the galley is a nap station or settee, with a navigation table beside it for navigation details and materials. Beside this table are the VHF radio and a series of the 12V socket where many can charge their devices and accessories.

The U-Shaped salon table guarantees convenience and ease as the table has the option of folding up both sides, ensuring your entire family can relax and unwind together. There are also numerous wine storages with one underneath the salon table, and one close to the port side of the interior.

CABINS

The forward master cabin has a king sized bed angled towards the port side. Two large windows are looking outward at both sides of the cabin for both ventilation and light.

The starboard and port side cabins have two different heads and toilets with the starboard side having a personalized head with a single shower. The port side cabin houses the various breakers for the majority of the electrical components on the boat. The two cabins also have hanging lockers for storage around the cabin.

The family is, and would always be, very important. Friends are too. The BeneteauOceanis 41.1 provides enough space to ensure that your family and friends are taken into consideration when taking a vacation or weekend getaway.
