2015 Beneteau 2015 Beneteau 41

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the three-cabin layout still leaves the saloon feeling open and social, with a proper nav station and a galley that works underway, not just at the dock. The helm stations give clear sightlines past the low-profile cabin top, and the wide cockpit easily shifts from trimming space to sundowner lounge thanks to the folding table and generous seating. Under sail, the 41’s balanced hull and deep spade rudder give a reassuring grip in a gust, yet she’ll still slip along happily in lighter air. Down below, the joinery and light from the coachroof windows make it a warm, inviting retreat after a long passage.

This 41-footer hits a sweet spot for the varied conditions you’ll find in the region—big enough to stretch out on a week-long cruise, yet manageable for a short-handed crew in tight fairways and crowded anchorages. The moderate draft lets you explore skinnier waters without sacrificing upwind performance. Generous tankage and efficient systems mean fewer marina stops and more time on the hook. With a cockpit made for long days under sail and relaxed evenings at anchor, plus a layout that easily hosts friends or family, this model is particularly well suited to local gunkholing, weekend races, and coastal hops along the nearby shoreline.
