Beneteau Sense 51- For Sale - $569,000 AUD + Taxes

$569,000.00

The Beneteau Sense 51 is a cruising yacht designed around comfort, practicality and ease of use.

Combining generous living spaces with straightforward sail handling, she has proven popular with owners

looking to spend extended time aboard without the complexity often associated with larger yachts.

One of the Sense 51's standout features is her enormous cockpit. Designed as a true outdoor living space, it offers exceptional room for entertaining, relaxing at anchor or simply enjoying life on the water. The twin helm arrangement creates easy access through the cockpit and keeps sail handling separate from the main social areas, making the layout both practical and comfortable.

For owners planning extended cruising, storage is another major strength. Large cockpit lockers, dedicated storage spaces and well-designed cabinetry throughout the vessel provide ample room for cruising equipment, spare gear, provisions and personal belongings. It is a yacht built with real-world cruising in mind.

Below deck, the Sense 51 offers a bright and inviting interior thanks to her large hull windows and overhead glazing. The quality timber finish and modern styling create a warm, comfortable atmosphere while maintaining a practical and durable cruising layout. The open-plan saloon feels spacious and connected to the cockpit, giving the yacht a sense of volume rarely found in a monohull of this size.

Under sail, the Sense 51 is straightforward and manageable, with sail controls led aft for easy operation from the cockpit. The twin rudder design provides positive steering and good control, particularly when sailing in stronger conditions or when the yacht is heeled.

Accommodation is generous throughout, with a comfortable owner’s cabin, well-appointed guest accommodation and excellent storage in all cabins. Whether used for coastal cruising, extended adventures or as a luxurious floating holiday home, the Sense 51 delivers a combination of comfort, practicality and ease of ownership that continues to make her one of Beneteau’s most successful cruising designs.

Twice is being sold in conjunction with 36° Brokers in NZ. Advertised price is in AUD, not including NZ or AUD taxes
