Beneteau Oceanis 40 CC

CAPELLA is a well-equipped Beneteau Oceanis 40 CC offering comfortable accommodation and a practical centre-cockpit layout. The sheltered cockpit creates space for a generous aft owner's cabin, while two cabins, six berths and two heads provide flexibility for couples, family or guests.

Under the same ownership for approximately 16 years, CAPELLA has cruised extensively through the English Channel, Atlantic Europe and the Mediterranean. Her specification includes a Volvo Penta MD22L-B 50hp diesel engine and Side Power bow thruster. She also benefits from a North Sails in-mast furling mainsail fitted in 2022, wind and solar charging, Eberspächer heating and a removable inner forestay. Garmin radar and twin chartplotters, B&G instruments and autopilot complete a strong navigation package.

The sellers have generally stored CAPELLA ashore between one- to two-month cruising periods. During 2026, they re-installed freshwater piping and hot-air ducting and completed minor wiring repairs. Their latest update also noted that Eberspächer heating parts remained outstanding.

The condition or level of safety equipment on board is not to be negotiated on following survey. It is likely to be listed by most surveyors but is not structural or an integral working part of the vessel and is not to be used to further negotiate the price down after survey. We strongly suggest that for your own personal safety that when purchasing a yacht you provide new safety equipment rather than relying on second hand gear.

Should you become the new owner of this yacht then the responsibility to re-register or update official bodies for items such as EPIRB, VHF, MMSI or AIS becomes yours.
