Description

Bluewater-equipped and ICW-friendly, with a proud freshwater history, built in the USA, and ready for extended cruising, this 2013 Beneteau Oceanis 45 “Inconceivable” is an exceptionally well‑equipped cruising yacht, thoughtfully outfitted for serious passagemaking while remaining comfortable and easy for a couple to sail. The desirable two-cabin, two-head Owner’s Version delivers a spacious interior with abundant storage, a dedicated workshop, and a bright, inviting salon.

Originally kept primarily on Lake Champlain, she has seen only limited offshore cruising, including voyages to Cape Cod and the British Virgin Islands, before returning to the Northeast in 2022. She has never been chartered, a testament to pride of ownership and careful maintenance throughout her life.

Designed for sailors who prefer to cruise independently, “Inconceivable” boasts an impressive suite of upgrades, including a 1,260-watt solar array, a 1,050 Ah AGM battery bank, a Spectra watermaker, Espar diesel heat, air conditioning, an electric outboard motor, a dinghy, and a partial cockpit enclosure, making her equally at ease spending months at anchor as she is on coastal or offshore passages.

On deck, the twin-wheel cockpit offers excellent visibility underway and centers around a large folding cockpit table with refrigeration, complemented by teak seating, a full enclosure, a hydraulic swim platform, dinghy davits, and easy access to the spacious transom. Below, Beneteau’s signature light-filled interior showcases warm wood joinery, generous headroom, a well-equipped galley, an expansive owner’s stateroom, a welcoming guest cabin, and the rare luxury of a dedicated workshop on a yacht of this class.

Recent maintenance has included saildrive replacement (5/2025), engine service (6/2026), wash and wax (7/2026), bottom paint (6/2025), sail servicing (7/2026), running rigging (5/2026), jib furler service (8/2025), and zinc replacement (as needed), allowing her next owners to step aboard and begin cruising immediately.

Overview

Inconceivable presents the highly sought-after two‑cabin owner’s version layout, envisioned for extended cruising with generous storage and intelligently arranged living spaces that indulge a cruising couple while welcoming guests in real comfort. The forward owner’s stateroom is a sanctuary with a centerline island queen berth, expansive hanging lockers and cabinetry, abundant natural light, excellent ventilation, and a private ensuite head complete with a separate shower stall. Aft to starboard, the large guest stateroom offers a comfortable double berth, a hanging locker, numerous storage lockers, opening ports, and an overhead hatch with screen and shade, plus direct access to the aft head. The guest head, also accessible from the salon, features a separate shower stall, vanity, storage cabinets, and a holding tank—perfect for guests or day use. The bright, open salon is bathed in daylight through panoramic hull windows and multiple opening hatches, and its large convertible table provides relaxed seating that readily transforms into an additional berth when desired. To port, the L‑shaped galley is exceptionally well‑equipped with solid synthetic countertops, a double stainless‑steel sink, a gimbaled propane stove and oven, a top‑loading icebox, and a large front‑opening 12/24 V Vitrifrigo under‑counter refrigerator, supported by generous cabinetry, dedicated pantry storage, and excellent ventilation via an opening portlight; a separate freezer, a seawater foot pump, and an onboard washing machine further elevate long‑range cruising comfort. A standout of the owner’s version is the dedicated aft utility and workshop behind the galley, a versatile space with extensive shelving, drawers, and lockers, plus easy access to the cockpit lazarette—ideal for tools, spare parts, cruising gear, provisions, and additional storage.

Climate control and creature comforts are comprehensive, with three‑zone reverse‑cycle air conditioning comprising an 8,000 BTU CruiseAir unit in the forward cabin, a 16,000 BTU CruiseAir unit serving the salon, and a CruiseAir unit in the aft cabin, complemented by an Espar diesel heating system. Sleeping comfort is enhanced by two memory foam mattresses, while air movement is assured by a Caframo 12 V fan in the salon, a 12 V fan in the aft cabin, and a 12 V fan in the forward cabin. The heads are appointed with two Dometic electric flush toilets and two separate shower stalls. Galley conveniences include a microwave, a three‑burner Force 10 stove and oven, the top‑loading icebox, the 12/24 V Vitrifrigo under‑counter refrigerator, the double sink, and a seawater pump. A Spectra watermaker supports self‑sufficiency, and the interior is refreshed by seven opening deck hatches fitted with shades and screens.

On deck, the twin‑wheel cockpit delivers excellent visibility underway and invites open‑air living with a large folding cockpit table featuring cold‑plate refrigeration and storage, teak seating, cockpit cushions, and a full enclosure formed by a bimini, dodger, and connector panel with enclosure panels for both starboard and port sides. Practical stowage abounds, with two cockpit floor lockers—one behind each helm—a starboard cockpit locker, and an expansive port locker with access to the utility room, as well as a dedicated propane locker. Entertaining and passagemaking are equally accommodated by a grill mounted on the pulpit, an outboard engine mount, and a transom shower. A hydraulic transom platform with swim ladder simplifies water access, while integrated stainless‑steel arch dinghy davits with an outboard motor lift and a solar mount streamline tender handling and power generation; a Starlink mount completes this modern cruising suite.

The foredeck is purpose‑built, featuring a stainless‑steel stem head with two anchor rollers, a dedicated anchor/chain locker, an additional foredeck storage locker aft of the chain locker, and a raw‑water washdown. Ground tackle and handling are confidence‑inspiring, with a Quick electric anchor windlass (2023) controlled from both the foredeck and the port helm. The primary anchor is a 75 lb Rocna Vulcan carried on 200' of 3/8" galvanized chain plus 200' of rode, while the secondary is a Fortress aluminum anchor with 30' of chain and 200' of rode. Safety and utility details include lifelines with two side boarding gates, six mooring cleats, and a foredeck light. Tenders and handling are well considered, with an electric Torqeedo 1103 outboard and a 2026 West Marine 8' roll‑up inflatable dinghy, supported by docklines and fenders. Maneuvering is made easy by a bow thruster with a control at the port helm. The bottom was painted in June 2025, and the hull was washed and waxed in July 2026. Note that the EPIRB expired on 9/27/2025, and the liferaft is conveyed as‑is; the liferaft is a 10' Viking Coastal six‑person unit (Model: 6UKCC‑ISO‑9650‑2, S/N: 12644340) with an expiration of 09/2024.

Sailing systems are tailored for effortless short‑handed passages. The Oceanis 45’s twin helms provide superb sightlines, and all sail controls are led aft to the cockpit. A Neil Pryde in‑mast furling mainsail (2023) received a new UV cover in 2026, the furling genoa had its UV cover replaced in 2026, and the jib furler was renewed in 2025; both mainsail and genoa were removed and cleaned by North Sails in July 2026. Downwind performance is powered by a UK asymmetrical spinnaker on a continuous furler (2021). Control is precise with two Harken SS 50 two‑speed sheet winches, an electric halyard winch on the port coachroof, a manual winch on the starboard coachroof, and line clutches to port and starboard, working in concert with genoa tracks. The rig comprises an aluminum deck‑stepped double‑spreader mast with two mast steps, a boom vang, and a split backstay. Running rigging was refreshed in 2026, including the main outhaul, main sheet, main halyard, jib sheets, jib furling line, vang control line, and topping lift. Air‑draft is ICW‑friendly at approximately 63' 6" plus attachments.

Navigation, communication, and entertainment are equally modern. Connectivity is enabled by Starlink, while a Simrad NSS 12 chartplotter mounted on a swivel at the end of the cockpit table provides crisp situational awareness. The Simrad AP24 autopilot with remote features a new autopilot drive installed in 2026, complemented by Simrad IS20 wind speed and direction, Simrad depth/log, radar with a radar reflector, and a Simrad AIS transceiver. Traditional bearings are covered by two Plastimo Olympic 135 compasses. Communications run through a VHF radio with AIS and remote. At anchor or underway, onboard entertainment includes a TV (Insignia) with a SONOS soundbar, a Glomex TV antenna, and a stereo system playing through two salon and two cockpit speakers.

Electrical systems are robust and cruising‑ready. Shore power is a 110 V system with a 50 A inlet and two shore power cords (30' and 50"), feeding AC outlets throughout the boat. The 12 V DC side is anchored by a 2,000 W inverter and solar array—three 420 W panels for a total of 1,260 W—managed by a Victron MPPT 100/150 smart solar charger and a Cristec CPS3 12 Volt, 60 Amp charger, with charging support from a Sterling 80‑A smart alternator. System oversight is provided by a Microlog DMM‑1 battery monitor, and LED lighting illuminates the interior throughout. Batteries include one engine starting battery (5/2023), four AGM house batteries (2021) with one of the four replaced in 2025, and two Group 31 thruster batteries. Power access points are thoughtfully placed, with USB outlets at the port helm, cockpit table, and salon—each dual USB‑A and USB‑C except at the helm—and a 12 V socket outlet in the starboard aft cabin.

Plumbing and tankage have been specified for reliability offshore and convenience in harbor, featuring a Rule electric bilge pump, a manual bilge pump, a fresh‑water pump, and a Quick Nautic 40L water heater (110 V with heat exchanger), plus a Beneteau tank watch for fuel and water. The yacht is fitted with two electric flush toilets and two 12‑gallon blackwater holding tanks. For independence at sea, a Spectra watermaker—12 V and rated at ten gallons per hour—completes the package and currently requires service.
