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.
This is one of the finest cockpit layouts Beneteau has ever produced.
The twin helm arrangement creates an enormous entertaining area while giving the helmsman excellent visibility underway. Guests remain comfortably out of the sailing controls while still being part of the action.
Features include:
Whether you're enjoying cocktails in Oriental, watching fireworks in New Bern, or anchored off Cape Lookout, this cockpit becomes your waterfront living room.
Step below and you'll immediately appreciate why the Oceanis series became so popular.
Large hull windows, generous overhead hatches, and Beneteau's elegant joinery create an interior that feels significantly larger than many comparable forty-foot sailboats.
Forward StateroomThe spacious owner's berth includes generous hanging lockers, abundant storage, vanity seating, excellent ventilation, and natural light.
SalonThe 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.
GalleyThe L-shaped galley is designed for real cruising with:
The aft owner's cabin offers a true queen-sized berth with abundant cabinetry and storage rarely found aboard a forty-foot yacht.
HeadThe spacious head includes:
BLACKFIN was clearly equipped with shorthanded cruising in mind.
This is a boat that allows two people to comfortably enjoy long-distance cruising without feeling overworked.
Power comes from the proven 54 HP Yanmar 4JH4AE diesel, one of the most respected auxiliary engines in cruising sailboats.
Additional cruising features include:
During the survey sea trial, the vessel demonstrated normal handling characteristics, proper steering response, smooth transmission operation, satisfactory cooling performance, and achieved approximately 7.8 knots at wide-open throttle.
Unlike many listings where the extras disappear before closing, BLACKFIN includes equipment that represents real cruising value:
One of BLACKFIN's strongest selling points is her documented maintenance history.
Highlights include:
Finding a Beneteau Oceanis 40 with this combination of owner-preferred layout, documented maintenance, desirable cruising equipment, shoal draft, generator, air conditioning, quality electronics, and extensive upgrades is becoming increasingly difficult.
BLACKFIN offers an outstanding opportunity to step aboard and begin cruising immediately rather than spending months upgrading a lesser boat.
If you've been waiting for a clean, well-equipped Oceanis 40 that has already received the attention experienced cruisers know is important, your search may be over.
BLACKFIN is newly available, conveniently located in New Bern, North Carolina, and easy to show by appointment.
