1999 Beneteau Oceanis 461
This 1999 Beneteau Oceanis 461 is basically a one-owner boat that has been properly maintained, fresh water only, always winter stored indoors heated, and offers many upgrades. She is the best equipped 461 on the Great Lakes! The sellers have had 18 good years and it is time to do other types of travel. The boat has been located in Northern Lower Michigan her whole life and lightly used during the short May to September summer seasons. The Beneteau 461 does everything well, she can be an excellent family cruiser, a club racer, or an intimate easily handled boat for a couple or small crew. Cruising World named the 461 "Boat of the Year" in 1997 for good reasons. She has a large comfortable cockpit with cockpit table, bimini top, dodger, and full enclosure. Stern swim platform with walk-thru transom makes swimming and boarding your dinghy a breeze. She is spacious below with a two cabin, two head layout. She has a beautiful satin finish Cherry interior with 6'5" of headroom providing a feel of roominess and comfort. The saloon cabin is bathed in natural light and offers plenty of ventilation due to the 7 opening deck hatches and 12 opening portholes. The spacious dinette is to starboard with seating all around. The navigation station and large settee are to port. The chefs galley includes front-loading refrigeration and freezer, propane stove, microwave, and double stainless steel sinks. Pride of ownership is apparent and she has been professionally maintained by Irish Boat Shop. She is a world capable cruiser and a must see...
