The Beneteau Oceanis 41 was designed for sailing comfort and ease. Several friends of mine sail this boat and rave about the size and stability of this 41 ft. luxury vessel. I have had the pleasure of being a passenger aboard the 41 my friend sailed and I was mesmerized by the grandness of every aspect of the boat. Most impressive of all is that a boat this size can easily be handled by just two people.
Accommodation
The 41 has 3 separate layout designs to choose the layout that will suit your guest configuration best. 2 to 3 cabins and 6 to 6+2 berths are available to make your trip as comfortable as possible. No matter which layout you choose, there is ample room for storage with several wide berths that can hold swim, diving, or scuba …show more content…

In my opinion, this is an excellent vessel to learn to sail with, but that doesn't mean I couldn't imagine a trip on the 41 with a hired skipper. If you are looking for a romantic escape without the worry of handling a yacht, a skipper is a definite must-have. Skipper or no skipper, you are looking at smooth sailing with the 41. It's windward performance stable and strong, and, when out in open water, the vessel remains steady.
Comparison with 45
A comparison between the 41 and the 45 comes down to small details, as the 2 boats are almost identical. The 45 has more design options than the 41, but the initial layout is the same. As for comfort, both vessels have plenty of space, but the 41 is cozier and rough waters are less noticeable below the deck of the 41 than in the 45. The 45 also lags a bit windward when under sail, while the 41 can generally power through without incident.
Pros:
Controls and sails are easy to handle and control
Lots of space and room for privacy
Massive saloon space below
