40' Beneteau 1999 Center Cockpit - Beneteau FOR SALE

“Current price” is an indication only, and every serious offer will be received with respect.

The 1999 Beneteau 40 Center Cockpit is a distinguished cruising sailboat that blends comfort, capability, and simplicity in equal measure. A true sailing yacht for those who value space and poise under way, this center-cockpit monohull delivers generous accommodations and reassuring handling, making it ideal for extended voyages, island-hopping escapades, or life afloat as a refined liveaboard. At forty feet, she sits in the sweet spot for an offshore cruiser—manageable for a couple, yet substantial enough to carry you confidently to the next horizon with the elegance expected of a premium bluewater cruiser.

Currently ashore for roughly a year, the boat will benefit from a thorough clean and routine recommissioning before launch. Below, the sought-after two-cabin, two-head arrangement features a private aft owner’s suite with a true queen berth and a forward cabin with a three-quarter berth, offering inviting spaces for both owners and guests. Her rig was refreshed in 2019 with a new mast and standing rigging, and she carries a 3-batten mainsail to keep performance crisp and enjoyable. Step aboard, make your offer, and set your course for the islands—the promise of effortless passagemaking awaits.

Her inventory underscores long-range independence and modern convenience. The navigation package includes updated electronics with a B&G chartplotter and AIS, paired with a Raymarine autopilot to ease the miles. A 1,500-watt solar array feeds a robust 560Ah 12-volt lithium battery bank, supported by a 60-amp charger, a 90-amp Baldor alternator, and a 2,200-watt portable generator for flexible power management at anchor or underway. A tender with a 20 hp Yamaha 2-stroke from 2019 complements the cruising setup for quick shore trips and exploration. A trailer is not part of the sale. Domestic and international transport, including custom cradles and port delivery for overseas shipping, can be arranged to suit your plans.
