Bear Away

Horizon Yacht Sales is pleased to present this well-equipped, never-chartered, 2014 Beneteau Oceanis 48 ‘Bear Away.’

The current second owners of Bear Away have gone above and beyond to maintain this yacht, which was previously kept on a freshwater lake for half its life and is a testament to its condition. Bear Away has a multitude of upgrades: a custom bimini frame with full enclosure, integrated solar panels, an outboard hoist, dinghy davits, an articulating BBQ mount, a water maker, and many other features to help you get blue water cruising.

Beneteau’s vision for the Oceanis 48 was to craft a monohull that excelled in functionality, stability, and performance. Beneteau achieved this by strategically placing the mast in the hull’s center to optimize the larger, balanced sail area and incorporating a mainsheet arch to expand the cockpit space and framework for a larger dodger and bimini. These innovative features have set the Beneteau Oceanis 48 apart from its competitors and catapulted it to the forefront of its class, making it a highly sought-after yacht.

The Beneteau Oceanis 48 boasts a generously sized cockpit with twin helms that comfortably accommodates up to 8 people for alfresco dining with ample space to spare. A massive electric drop-down platform on the stern extends your outdoor living area by an additional four feet. The two Harken 60 two-speed jib winches are an arm’s length away from the helm positions, and a Harken 46 electric winch takes care of the heavy load lines, making this yacht a breeze to sail shorthanded.

Descending below, the 45-degree companionway steps seamlessly connect the cockpit area with the expansive interior.  Bear Away is a three-cabin, two-head arrangement, making this yacht an ideal liveaboard. The vast salon is lavishly appointed with a large settee/dining table to starboard and a very well-designed settee with a sliding modular table to port, which could be adjusted to serve as a work area or a little nook for breakfast or entertaining. Heading forward in the spacious owner’s cabin, you will find an enormous shower separate from the enclosed head to the port side. The queen-sized bed with side entryway provides convenient access to the bed and plenty of storage throughout.

Don’t miss out on owning this well-looked-after 2014 Beneteau Oceanis 48, which is most likely the nicest one currently on the market!
