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 and a practical layout for preparing 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 at the helm, tracks steadily, and can make good speed on a reach. Sail handling is straightforward, even for a short-handed crew. With a deep cockpit and wide decks, WindSwept is both safe and exhilarating to sail.
She has systems designed for simplicity and reliability, critical when island-hopping.
On deck, the large cockpit with a centerline table is shaded by a full bimini and dodger, providing a welcoming space for sunset cocktails, lobster dinners, or quiet mornings with a coffee and a view. The sugar scoop transom with swimming ladder makes dinghy access and swimming effortless.
With her proven pedigree, classic styling, and comprehensive cruising setup, WindSwept is ready for adventure. Whether you’re dreaming of lazy days in the Grenadines, thrilling passages between the islands, crossing oceans, or making her your liveaboard home, this Beneteau 461 delivers comfort, performance, and serious cruising potential.
Step aboard WindSwept and let her carry you toward the horizon, where the water is warm, the drinks are cold, and the next anchorage is always just a reach away.
