The Beneteau Oceanis 40 CC is a classic center-cockpit cruiser built for volume, comfort, and effortless short-handed sailing. In Hawaii waters, sailors love this design because the elevated center cockpit keeps the crew high and dry while pushing through rough inter-island channel swells like the Kaiwi or Pailolo. Generous trade-wind ventilation below, deep shade potential on deck, and strong tankage make it a natural fit for island hopping, weekend getaways, or living aboard in comfort.

What sets this particular boat apart is that all the heavy maintenance debt has already been wiped clean. The standing rigging was completely replaced in 2019—solving the single biggest hurdle for marine insurance coverage in the islands—complemented by a 2020 North mainsail, new running rigging, and stainless lifelines. Modern navigation is handled by a full B&G electronics suite at the helm, including Simrad Forward-Looking Sonar for extra peace of mind around shallow island reefs. Domestic systems are fully dialed in with a 2020 refrigeration overhaul (new compressor, freezer plate, and digital controls), hot water heater, full interior LED conversion, and a heavy-duty Lifeline AGM battery bank. It is a clean, turnkey cruiser ready to head out tomorrow.
