2021 Beneteau Oceanis 30.1

Step aboard and you’ll notice how much volume Beneteau squeezed into 30 feet without losing that crisp, modern look. The twin wheels give you a commanding view from either side, and the wide, uncluttered cockpit makes sail handling simple whether you’re singlehanding or sailing with friends. Underway, the hard chine and generous beam aft give a surprisingly stiff, confident ride, even when you press on in a breeze. Down below, big hull windows keep the interior bright, so it feels more like a mini cruiser than a weekender. Thoughtful touches—easy engine access, smart storage, and well-laid-out systems—make routine maintenance and longer trips far less of a chore.

This Oceanis 30.1 is particularly well suited to local waters with shifting depths, occasional chop, and mixed-weather days. The lifting keel lets you explore shallower bays and tucked-away anchorages that deeper-draft boats simply can’t reach, while still giving you enough bite for efficient upwind passages. The hull form is comfortable in short, confused seas, and the twin-rudder setup keeps the helm light and responsive when gusts roll through. When the breeze fades, the efficient Yanmar sips fuel getting you home. For sailors who want a capable cruiser that can day sail, weekend, and stretch to longer coastal runs, this design is a smart, versatile match for the area.
