BENETEAU OCEANIS 51.1 FIRST LINE 2023 - Try Before You Buy opportunity
This 2023 Beneteau Oceanis 51.1 First Line represents a rare opportunity to acquire a genuinely performance-oriented cruising yacht in exceptional, near-new condition.
Unlike the standard Oceanis 51.1, this yacht is equipped with the First Line performance package, including the upgraded tapered aluminium performance mast with three swept-back spreaders, Dyform standing rigging, hydraulic textile backstay, Dyneema performance running rigging, German mainsheet system, Harken Black Magic blocks, upgraded Harken Performa winches, composite steering wheels and bowsprit.
Combined with her North Sails inventory, this is an Oceanis 51.1 designed not only for comfortable cruising, but for owners who genuinely enjoy sailing.
BROKERS COMMENT:
In my years of inspecting and selling yachts, I rarely come across a boat maintained to this standard.
The level of care given to this Oceanis 51.1 is closer to what one would expect aboard a professionally managed luxury yacht than a typical cruising yacht. The teak decks are exceptional, the interior presents beautifully, the machinery spaces are remarkably clean, and even the areas normally overlooked during routine maintenance show the same level of attention.
There is a difference between a boat that has been cleaned for sale and a boat that has been properly cared for from day one. This is very clearly the latter.
Everywhere you look from the deck hardware and running rigging to lockers, bilges, engine space and accommodation the same impression remains: this yacht has been maintained without shortcuts.
For a buyer looking for an Oceanis 51.1 First Line, finding another example of this age, specification and condition will not be easy.
THE YACHT
The Oceanis 51.1 combines a modern performance hull with the volume and comfort expected from a large cruising yacht. This particular yacht offers the additional advantage of the First Line configuration, giving her a more powerful sail plan and upgraded performance equipment while retaining the comfort, space and practicality that have made the Oceanis 51.1 so successful.
She offers a spacious four-cabin, four-head layout plus a separate skipper cabin, finished in Walnut Alpi.
The interior is bright, spacious and exceptionally well kept. The large saloon, generous galley and four comfortable guest cabins make the yacht equally suitable for extended family cruising, entertaining guests or longer passages.
Her equipment includes a 110 HP Yanmar diesel engine, generator, watermaker, air conditioning, bow thruster, extensive Raymarine navigation package with radar and AIS, inverter, additional fuel and water capacity, retractable tender davits, solar panels and a comprehensive cruising inventory.
FIRST LINE PERFORMANCE PACKAGE
The First Line package includes the tapered performance aluminium mast with three swept-back spreaders, Dyform standing rigging, textile hydraulic backstay, flat-deck genoa furler, Dyneema performance running rigging, German mainsheet system with mainsheet control at both helm stations, Harken Black Magic blocks, upgraded Harken Performa winches, composite steering wheels and a bowsprit for Code 0 and asymmetric spinnaker.
The sail inventory includes North Sails Mainsail, Genoa, and Staysail AND Furling Asymetric Nylon Sail (gennaker) from ADRIA SAILS, with separate furling system (Carver).
This combination gives the yacht a noticeably more performance-oriented character than the standard Oceanis 51.1, while maintaining the easy handling and comfort expected from a modern cruising yacht.

I recently sold my Lagoon 450 with the Multihull Team. I would highly recommend their services. The professionalism and personal treatment I received was greatly appreciated.
Great Service, Great People
Helped me through the process.
I would go through them again in a future purchase.
The Multihull Company made the process of buying our boat easy and predictable. Both our agent (Francisco Montaner) and Andrew Holland communicated well and educated/informed us of each step in the process. I highly recommend The Multihull Company for those shopping for a catamaran!
Chuck at The Multihull Company is the real deal.
He helped us find our Lagoon 40 after genuinely listening to what we needed, not just what he had to sell. He let us visit the boat multiple times, answered every question honestly, and helped us make a confident decision on a major purchase.
What impressed us most was the post-sale support. Once the paperwork was signed, Chuck was still picking up the phone, offering referrals, and helping us work through the early stages of liveaboard life. That kind of follow-through is rare.
If you are looking for a multihull and want someone who knows the boats and actually cares about the outcome, Chuck is the person to call.
We just purchased a 2025 Nautitech 44 Open with The Multihull Company. The process of getting here has been great, and we could not have asked for a better agent. We worked with Conor, whom we met at the 2025 Cannes Boat Show. We started our search for a cruising catamaran in Florida at the beginning of the year. We spent a couple of months looking at different boats/models within our price range and quickly narrowed it down to what really mattered to us, in part thanks to the wealth of knowledge and expertise our broker provided. When we found a perfect match in Montenegro, Conor and The Multihull Company did not hesitate to continue supporting us and to lead the efforts from start to finish with great care and transparency. Communication and support have been outstanding throughout this entire process. Conor, in particular, showed great compassion and care, going above and beyond to ensure that no stone was left unturned and that we would be able to safely and happily sail off into our big adventure.
Successful relationships cannot exist without it. At The Multihull Company we base every relationship on a firm commitment to earning and retaining our clientβs trust.
Advice of any kind is valuable only when grounded in hard-won expertise. It too, must be trustworthy. Trust and expertise define the heart and soul of The Multihull Company. We are a team of skilled professionals who thrive on providing expert, trustworthy advice and service to catamaran and trimaran sailors around the globe.
