2022 Beneteau Oceanis 40.1

Happy Ours represents an especially appealing configuration of the popular Beneteau Oceanis 40.1.

While many boats in this size range prioritize the maximum number of sleeping cabins, this yacht takes a more practical approach to comfortable cruising. Her two-cabin arrangement provides generous private accommodations while reserving valuable interior space for a dedicated utility and storage room.

For owners planning extended cruises, that additional room can be invaluable. It provides space for tools, spare parts, provisions, cruising equipment, and personal belongings that might otherwise clutter the living areas. The optional single mattress also allows the space to serve as an occasional additional berth when needed.

The forward owner's cabin is particularly attractive, featuring a centerline double berth and its own vanity. Aft, the second cabin enjoys convenient access to the yacht's spacious dry head, which features a separate shower area rather than requiring the entire bathroom to serve as a wet shower compartment.

On deck, the combination of teak decking, custom cockpit cushions, twin wheels, a folding cockpit table, and the powered swim platform makes the cockpit equally suited to serious sailing and relaxed entertaining.

From an operational standpoint, the bow thruster, in-mast furling mainsail, electric winch, B&G autopilot, and twin rudders are particularly valuable for couples who prefer to cruise without a large crew.

The generator and dual-zone air conditioning add another dimension of comfort, making Happy Ours well equipped for extended time aboard in Florida and the Bahamas.

In short, Happy Ours offers the kind of usable living space, equipment, and versatility that make the Oceanis 40.1 such a compelling modern cruiser.

The Oceanis 40.1 is celebrated for its remarkable interior volume, and Happy Ours makes excellent use of that space.

Her contemporary interior features attractive white oak cabinetry, light-colored upholstery, generous windows, overhead hatches, and a practical layout that balances private accommodations with comfortable shared living areas.

The yacht is arranged with two private sleeping cabins, one head with a separate shower, a dedicated utility/storage room, a spacious salon, a C-shaped galley, and a navigation station.

The optional single berth in the utility room provides additional sleeping flexibility without sacrificing the usefulness of the two-cabin arrangement.
