Step aboard Lily Pad, a beautifully maintained 2017 Beneteau Oceanis 45, and you immediately understand why this model has become one of the most sought-after cruising sailboats in her class. Designed by Finot-Conq with interiors by Nauta Design, the Oceanis 45 perfectly balances performance sailing with the comfort and elegance expected from a modern cruising yacht.

Entering from the spacious swim platform, the cockpit opens into an expansive entertaining and sailing area. The Oceanis 45’s wide beam carries aft, creating exceptional cockpit volume while still maintaining an efficient sailing layout. Twin helms provide excellent visibility and control under sail, while the large central folding table becomes the natural gathering place for guests. Whether underway or at anchor, the cockpit is designed for comfort, with generous seating, integrated storage, and easy access to the side decks. The folding transom lowers to create a large swim platform, making it effortless to enjoy the water, launch a paddleboard, or board the tender.

Descending the companionway, the interior of Lily Pad is bright, open, and welcoming. Large hull windows and overhead hatches allow natural light to flood the salon, highlighting the warm wood finishes and contemporary styling that define the Oceanis line. The main salon offers a comfortable U-shaped settee surrounding a convertible dining table, creating an inviting space for meals, entertaining, or relaxing after a day under sail. Opposite, a straight settee provides additional seating and flexibility for guests.

The galley, located to port at the base of the companionway, is thoughtfully designed for both coastal cruising and extended voyages. Here you’ll find ample counter space, a deep double stainless-steel sink, a gimbaled stove and oven, front-loading refrigeration, and abundant cabinetry for storage. Its secure, ergonomic layout allows for easy meal preparation whether underway or at anchor.

Forward, the owner’s stateroom offers a comfortable and private retreat. The centerline island berth allows easy access from both sides, while large hull windows bring in natural light and provide beautiful water views. Hanging lockers and cabinetry offer excellent storage for extended cruising, and the private ensuite head features a separate shower area for added comfort aboard.

Aft, two spacious guest cabins provide generous double berths and plenty of storage, making Lily Pad an ideal yacht for family cruising or hosting friends. The aft head is conveniently located to serve both guest cabins and the main living area, ensuring comfort and privacy for everyone on board.

Under sail, the 2017 Beneteau Oceanis 45 is known for her responsive handling and impressive cruising performance. Her balanced hull design and efficient sail plan make her easy to manage for short-handed crews while still delivering the rewarding sailing experience that Beneteau owners appreciate.

Whether you’re planning coastal cruising, island adventures, or extended passages, Lily Pad offers the space, comfort, and sailing capability that have made the Oceanis 45 one of Beneteau’s most popular models. This yacht represents a rare opportunity to own a modern cruising sailboat that blends performance, style, and livability in one exceptional package.

This Beneteau Oceanis 45 offers an excellent balance of performance sailing and modern cruising comfort. The three-cabin, two-head layout features a bright light oak interior, Ultraleather upholstery, and generous 6’6” headroom, providing comfortable accommodations for owners and guests alike. The forward master cabin with centerline berth and en suite head, along with two aft guest cabins, makes the boat well-suited for family cruising or charter-style use.

The yacht is well equipped with B&G electronics throughout, including dual Zeus 7” helm plotters, a Zeus 12” cockpit table display, radar, AIS, and autopilot. Sailing systems include an in-mast furling main, 140% furling genoa, and asymmetrical cruising spinnaker, with electric Harken winches and all lines led aft for easy short-handed sailing.

Powered by a Yanmar 4JH57 diesel with 695 hours, the boat also features a bow thruster, a generator, an inverter, and three CruiseAir reverse-cycle air conditioning units. The shoal draft keel (5’9”) and ICW-friendly mast height (63’6”) make this Oceanis 45 ideal for coastal cruising and extended passagemaking.
