This 3-cabin version of the Beneteau 461 is highly sought after for its spacious and intelligent layout. WindSwept easily accommodates up to eight people with a generous forward owner’s stateroom, two large aft cabins, and convertible salon seating. Whether you’re cruising with family or entertaining friends under the stars, this yacht provides space and privacy in equal measure.
Inside you’ll find the timeless design Beneteau is known for, richly finished wood cabinetry, expansive natural lighting through deck hatches and portlights, and thoughtful ventilation throughout. The salon is both comfortable and functional, with a U-shaped settee and a large dining table that converts into a full-sized berth, making overnight guests feel at home. The forward cabin includes a private ensuite head with shower, while the aft cabins share a second well-appointed head, giving everyone onboard convenience and comfort
The galley is designed for offshore functionality as well as life on the hook, featuring ample counter space, a double stainless-steel sink, top-loading refrigeration, and a reliable Force 10 propane stove/oven setup, everything you need to prepare meals at anchor or underway.
But WindSwept isn’t just about luxury, she sails beautifully. The Farr-designed hull and keel deliver exceptional performance under sail, she balances well on the helm, tracks steadily, and can clip along at 8 knots on a reach with ease. The in-mast furling mainsail and roller furling genoa make sail handling straightforward, even for a short-handed crew. With a deep cockpit, wide decks, and well-placed winches, WindSwept is both safe and exhilarating to sail.
She’s also equipped with everything you need for extended cruising the Caribbean and beyond; solar panels to stay energy-independent, a robust windlass with a Rocna anchor and chain rode for reliable holding in varied conditions, a powerful Yanmar diesel engine with excellent maintenance history, and plenty of tankage for water and fuel. Her systems are designed for simplicity and reliability, critical when island-hopping.
On deck, the large cockpit with a centerline table is shaded by a full bimini and dodger, providing a welcoming space for sunset cocktails, lobster dinners, or quiet mornings with a coffee and a view. The sugar scoop transom with swimming ladder makes dinghy access and swimming effortless.
With her proven pedigree, classic styling, and comprehensive cruising setup, WindSwept is ready for adventure. Whether you’re dreaming of lazy days in the Grenadines, thrilling passages between the islands, crossing oceans, or making her your liveaboard home, this Beneteau 461 delivers comfort, performance, and serious cruising potential.
Step aboard WindSwept and let her carry you toward the horizon, where the water is warm, the drinks are cold, and the next anchorage is always just a reach away.
