Broker Remarks

Sea Monkey is an example of the ever-popular Beneteau Oceanis 40, combining style, comfort, and cruising capability in equal measure.

The two-cabin layout allows for generous living space, including a large saloon, L-shaped galley, and a spacious head with separate shower. Out on deck, teak side decks and a full cockpit enclosure enhance both appearance and comfort, while the bow thruster and twin helm configuration make handling a pleasure.

Well maintained and thoughtfully upgraded, she represents an ideal choice for sailors seeking a capable cruiser with a warm, welcoming interior and strong sailing pedigree.
