BLACKFIN

2009 Beneteau Oceanis 40

New Bern, North Carolina

Easy to Show • Turn-Key Cruiser • Preferred Two Cabin Layout

Some boats simply check every box—and BLACKFIN is one of them.

If you've been searching for a late-model cruising sailboat that is comfortable enough to live aboard, capable enough for extended coastal cruising, and simple enough to sail as a couple, BLACKFIN deserves to be at the very top of your list.

Designed by Berret-Racoupeau with interior styling by Nauta Design, the Beneteau Oceanis 40 became one of the most successful cruising sailboats of her generation by combining excellent sailing performance with an unusually bright, spacious interior and an exceptionally comfortable cockpit.

BLACKFIN has been thoughtfully upgraded, professionally maintained, and continually improved by knowledgeable owners. A comprehensive pre-purchase survey rated the yacht Above Average Condition, confirming the excellent overall structural integrity, dry hull and deck, sound keel attachment, and impressive general condition expected from a well-cared-for vessel.

Whether your plans include weekends on the Neuse River, exploring the Chesapeake, cruising the Intracoastal Waterway, spending winters in the Bahamas, or simply entertaining family and friends at anchor, BLACKFIN is ready to go.

The spacious owner's berth includes generous hanging lockers, abundant storage, vanity seating, excellent ventilation, and natural light.

Salon

The large U-shaped dinette comfortably seats six while converting into additional sleeping accommodations. Across to port are the navigation station and comfortable settee, creating an inviting living space for extended cruising.

Galley

Head

• Excellent storage

Sail Handling Made Easy
