Island Hopping
Set sail on WindSwept, a never chartered and well maintained 2000 Beneteau Oceanis 461 that blends elegance with practical cruising performance. Designed by the world-renowned Bruce Farr and built by Beneteau’s US production team, this 46-footer offers the perfect balance of speed, stability, and comfort, making her an ideal vessel for exploring the Caribbean in style.
This 3-cabin version of the Beneteau 461 is highly sought after for its spacious and intelligent layout. WindSwept easily accommodates up to eight people with a generous forward owner’s stateroom, two large aft cabins, and convertible salon seating. Whether you’re cruising with family or entertaining friends under the stars, this yacht provides space and privacy in equal measure.
Inside you’ll find the timeless design Beneteau is known for, richly finished wood cabinetry, expansive natural lighting through deck hatches and portlights, and thoughtful ventilation throughout. The salon is both comfortable and functional, with a U-shaped settee and a large dining table that converts into a full-sized berth, making overnight guests feel at home. The forward cabin includes a private ensuite head with shower, while the aft cabins share a second well-appointed head, giving everyone onboard convenience and comfort.
The galley is designed for offshore functionality as well as life on the hook, featuring ample counter space, a double stainless-steel sink, top-loading refrigeration, and a reliable Force 10 propane stove/oven setup, everything you need to prepare meals at anchor or underway.
But WindSwept isn’t just about luxury, she sails beautifully. The Farr-designed hull and keel deliver exceptional performance under sail, she balances well on the helm, tracks steadily, and can clip along at 8 knots on a reach with ease. The in-mast furling mainsail and roller furling genoa make sail handling straightforward, even for a short-handed crew. With a deep cockpit, wide decks, and well-placed winches, WindSwept is both safe and exhilarating to sail.
