Beneteau Oceanis 48

About this yacht

Price negotiable. 2012 Beneteau Oceanis 48 for sale, located in Izmir, Turkey, offered at €175,000.

This well-maintained cruising sailboat is ready for immediate use and ideal for extended voyages or comfortable family cruising. With a length overall of 48 ft and generous beam, she offers excellent interior volume and sailing performance.

Powered by a Yanmar 4JHTCE 75 HP inboard diesel engine (5,000 engine hours), she delivers reliable and efficient performance. Comprehensive maintenance has been completed, including hull painting, epoxy keel works, and full engine service (March 2023). The sails are in excellent condition, ensuring optimal sailing capability.

About the Bénéteau Oceanis 48. Launched in 2012 as the successor to the Oceanis 46, the 48 incorporated Bénéteau's newer cockpit-aft layout, twin-wheel arrangement, and an emphasis on volume below decks. Berret-Racoupeau design, built at the Vendée yard.

Cruising profile. Owner-operated 15-metre cruising platform with three to five cabin options — popular both for private use and Mediterranean bareboat charter (Greek and Turkish operators). Twin wheels, single-line reefing, sail-area generous for light Aegean winds.

Layout and equipment. Three-, four-, or five-cabin configurations depending on charter/owner spec. Twin-wheel cockpit with helm-mounted instruments port and starboard. Large saloon with L-shaped galley; chart table to starboard. Sail-handling led aft.

What to inspect. Like all Oceanis platforms, the rigging cycle, sail condition, engine hours, and hull moisture are the priorities. The 2013 generation has solid build quality; gelcoat condition is the main cosmetic check. Turkish lying offers an active local marine survey market and convenient charter-base proximity (İzmir/Çeşme/Bodrum).
