Oceanis 51.1 First line

Beneteau Oceanis 51.1 First Line – Pisces

Performance with style and luxury

Famous French shipyard Beneteau announced the Oceanis 51.1 as the first in a new generation of cruising yachts – spacious, elegant, cleverly designed, easy to handle, fast and comfortable. And they delivered big, as usual. From its introduction, the model collected appraisals all over the sailing community because of its innovative and bold design.

When Beneteau announced the model in 2018., we realised we wanted one in our fleet and acted fast. So one of the first yachts produced and delivered in Croatia was our Pisces. Since we love performance yachts, we opted for the ‘First’ line model.

Compared to the owner and charter versions, she has a higher mast, more sail area and an longer performance keel. There are also four electrical winches compared to the usual hand-operated two. She has a fully battened main sail and a large genoa. An additional self tacking storm fock and a Code Zero sail that enhances her performance in light winds.

However, her sailing abilities don’t overshadow all the comfort and luxury the yacht enables her crew. Its clever design makes her interior and cockpit space unparalleled in the class.

We’re sure you’ll enjoy both of her sides and quickly realise why she’s the true queen of our fleet. In her almost 16 meters, there’s enough room for four large double-bed cabins with en suite shower and toilette each. Additionally, there is a skipper cabin with a shower too. All wastewater goes to holding tanks.

Her kitchen is worthy of a true chef and a saloon the size of the living room, with a smart TV. Thanks to large windows, the interior is bathing in the sunlight. The cockpit offers many relaxation and sunbathing areas, including a large – remotely controlled – swimming platform and a wide teak cockpit table with an integrated fridge.

However, there are also white carbon steering wheels and performance electrical winches for a complete sailing experience. Three chart plotters – two outside and one inside – and navigation instruments, including three race instruments on the mast bracket, are the latest Garmin models. A radar enhances navigation safety.

With heating installed, a freshwater tank of 770 litres, a fuel tank of 400 litres, and a 110 horsepower engine, she’ll be a pleasant and luxurious home, even on an extended offshore cruise.
