Seealar is an exceptional example of the Bruce Farr designed Beneteau Oceanis 461. This one-owner sailing yacht for sale has been meticulously maintained and consistently dealer serviced.
Seealar was ordered with the premium Teak Interior wood option. Interior layout features the popular three-cabin, two-head configuration, offering 6'5" of headroom throughout. The forward owner’s cabin includes a spacious centerline queen berth, while the salon is complemented by a well-appointed linear galley with abundant storage and natural light. Both aft cabins are generously sized, with the port cabin providing convenient en-suite access to the second head.
The large cockpit is ideal for both relaxing and entertaining, offering ample space for lounging and dining at anchor. Despite her size, the Beneteau 461 is easily managed single-handed thanks to a thoughtfully designed deck layout and running rigging plan. Key features include a Leisure Furl mainsail system, furling headsail, power winches, and a bow thruster, all contributing to ease of handling and performance.
Seealar has been very well equipped for year round cruising in the Pacific North West and is a true turn key sailboat for buyers looking to step aboard and go.
She is available for viewing by appointment in Vancouver, BC.

The concept and construction of the Oceanis 461 is directly linked to the Oceanis range experience. Owing much to her predecessors, whether in terms of her dimensions, the technology used, or aesthetic and practical choices, the Oceanis 461 fits perfectly into Beneteau's cruising range. Her long hull, designed by Bruce Farr and Associates, has great potential for impressive speed while giving that quiet, powerful sensation only felt on board true offshore cruising yachts. The structure of the Oceanis 461 is based on the same principles that have made such a success of the whole range; the bonded and laminated inner molding ensure the best possible spread of rigging and keel loads throughout the hull. Her rigging is also classic and efficient. A masthead furling genoa (drum on deck) guarantees the necessary power for an easy passage. The deck layout reflects the spirit of comfort and efficiency that has prevailed in the Oceanis 461 from her conception: teak-capped bulwark for elegance and safety, electric windlass half recessed into the anchor well, large sunbathing area forward, uncluttered side decks with chainplates centered against the coachroof. The cockpit is easily accessible via a door in the transom which is also equipped with deep lockers. The wheel steering position has a full console, to which a large cockpit table with hinged flaps and icebox is joined. There are 7 opening deck hatches and 12 opening portholes. The galley has numerous baskets and lockers, a fridge - freezer in two compartments, and large independent head compartments.
