Bénéteau Océanis 31 - rare elegance

Nominated "European Yacht of the Year 2009"!

The Oceanis 31', a cruiser from Bénéteau of France designed by Finot Conq and Nauta, has been created for this popular length class using the same recipe for success as that applied to the already well established Oceanis 39'. Its keel with lead bulb can be immersed to depths of either 1.30m or 1.80m depending on requirements.

47.4m2 of wind-catching canvas
A 20 HPmetric Yanmar diesel engine is available to boost the craft’s mobility. Fully rigged, it offers 47.4m2 of wind-catching canvas. The owner’s stateroom with transversely arranged double bed is located aft, while forward a smaller cabin for two guests can be found. Between these accommodation units is located a saloon, galley and a general-use heads compartment with shower and bath.

Rare elegance in this size of boat
With its elegant profile and sleek coachroof, the Océanis 31 builds on the innovative features introduced by its bigger brother, including the patented companionway hatch and highly-practical liferaft locker with sea hatch. The Océanis 31 combines functionality with visual appeal and real elegance in a size of boat where design often comes a poor second to function.

Making living space a priority
The challenge with this design was to create the maximum living space, so on this boat you’ll see a galley that is probably the best in its class. Two stainless steel sinks arranged lengthwise to provide the maximum work surface and a very comfortable saloon where the emphasis is on space and light, two hull side ports as well as coachroof ports. The Océanis 31 is offered in a two-cabin and head compartment version. An exclusive version offering even more elegance and comfort is also available.
