2013 Beneteau Sense 46
Comfortable Cruising, Ready for Adventure
2013 Beneteau Sense 46 | “Savannah”
The Beneteau Sense 46 is a yacht designed for owners who want to spend more time on the water and less time worrying about how to get there. Combining the comfort and feel of a modern cruising yacht with straightforward sailing characteristics, the Sense 46 offers an exceptional platform for extended cruising, island hopping, and life aboard.
“Savannah” is a particularly well-equipped example, with significant upgrades aimed at making her comfortable and self-sufficient away from the dock. She has been repowered with an 80 HP Yanmar diesel in 2021 and benefits from a suite of cruising upgrades including solar panels, lithium batteries, watermaker, arch and davit system, and upgraded sail inventory.
The result is a yacht that is genuinely set up for adventure.
LIVING THE DREAM
Imagine leaving the dock with everything you need for an extended cruise, dropping the hook in a secluded Bahamian cove and enjoying the freedom of being completely self-sufficient.
The Sense 46 was designed around exactly this kind of cruising. Her generous beam, wide-open cockpit and clever interior layout create an unusually spacious feeling for a 46-foot sailing yacht, while the protected helm and centralized sail handling make her approachable for both experienced sailors and owners looking for an easier way to enjoy extended cruising.
Whether your plans involve the Bahamas, the Florida Keys, the Caribbean or simply spending weekends exploring closer to home, the Sense 46 offers the space, comfort and capability to make it happen.
COCKPIT & DECK
One of the standout features of the Sense 46 is her exceptionally spacious cockpit. Designed as the social center of the boat, it provides plenty of room for entertaining, relaxing or enjoying an evening at anchor.
The sailing controls are concentrated around the helm, keeping line handling simple and allowing the boat to be managed efficiently from the aft steering position.
The generous deck layout and integrated cruising equipment further enhance her suitability for extended time aboard.
An arch and davit system provides practical support for cruising equipment and tender operations, while the solar installation helps support extended periods away from the dock.
INTERIOR
Step below and the Sense 46 feels more like a small yacht than a traditional 46-foot cruising sailboat.
Beneteau's Sense concept places a strong emphasis on volume, natural light and livability, creating an open and inviting interior that is ideal for extended stays aboard.
Large windows and an open layout provide excellent visibility and a bright, airy atmosphere. The generous living areas make the boat equally suited to entertaining friends or settling in for a longer cruise.
The accommodation layout provides comfortable spaces for cruising couples, family or guests, with the flexibility expected from a yacht designed for extended use.
GALLEY & LIVING
The galley is designed with cruising in mind, providing the facilities needed to prepare meals comfortably while underway or at anchor.
Combined with the Sense 46's generous salon and living areas, the interior makes it easy to spend extended periods aboard without feeling confined.
ENGINE & CRUISING
“Savannah” was repowered in 2021 with an 80 HP Yanmar diesel, providing dependable auxiliary power for maneuvering, harbor work and extended cruising.
The vessel's cruising speed is approximately 7.5 knots, with a hull speed of around 10 knots, depending on conditions.
CRUISING UPGRADES
This Sense 46 has been equipped with a number of upgrades specifically intended to enhance comfort and independence while cruising:
WHY THE SENSE 46?
The Sense 46 occupies an appealing position in the cruising market. At approximately 46 feet LOA with a 14'6" beam, she delivers substantial interior and exterior volume while remaining manageable for a cruising couple.
Her bulb keel and twin-rudder configuration provide a stable, confidence-inspiring platform, while the fractional sloop rig offers straightforward sailing characteristics.
For anyone looking to move up into a yacht capable of serious coastal and island cruising, without stepping into the complexity and expense of a much larger yacht, the Sense 46 deserves serious consideration.
