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.

We had an outstanding experience working with Andrew Hodgdon to find our dream boat, an Outremer 52.
We were actually referred to him by several different people—clients who had been very happy working with him, as well as boat owners who were planning to use him to sell their own boats. After working with Andrew ourselves, we completely understand why he came so highly recommended.
We worked with him for several months, and from start to finish, he was exceptional. Andrew is incredibly knowledgeable and truly an expert when it comes to performance catamarans. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, was always responsive and organized, and never made us feel pressured throughout the process.
Andrew went above and beyond to arrange showings for us in multiple states and even traveled to another state to be there with us for the sea trial. His expertise and guidance gave us tremendous confidence as we evaluated such a significant purchase.
The entire process could have been overwhelming, but he made it remarkably smooth. He was on top of every detail and made the paperwork and closing process easy, working seamlessly with his team at The Multihull Company.
What impressed us most was that he genuinely had our best interests in mind. And his support didn’t end when the sale was completed. He has continued to stay in touch and has made it clear that he is still available to help us if we ever need him. That kind of follow-through is rare and speaks volumes about the kind of broker he is.
Buying an Outremer 52 was a huge decision and a major investment, and having someone with his knowledge, experience, responsiveness, and integrity made the entire experience so much easier and more enjoyable.
We couldn’t recommend Andrew Hodgdon more highly. If you’re looking for a yacht broker—especially if you’re considering a performance catamaran—we would choose him again without hesitation. The fact that so many people recommended him to us was the reason we called him, and after working with him, we would be one of those people recommending him to others.
I highly recommend Andrew Hodgdon. He served as our buyers broker. He is responsive, highly knowledgeable and very experienced. He is also an excellent guide and counselor before, during and after the boat purchase process. If you are looking for a good-sailing cat, he seems to collect most of the available boats on the better-sailing side of the market. Top marks.
Andrew did an excellent job getting me started on my new adventures. Worked with my conflicting schedule. Is very knowledgeable in the catamaran industry. 😎
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.

Broad estimate by TMC based on the listing's published equipment, typical installed costs for this size of boat, and yard rates in the selected region.
