There’s something special about stepping aboard a brand-new yacht. The crisp teak decks, the untouched interiors, the effortless way everything works exactly as it should. That’s exactly what awaits aboard the latest addition to the Fairview Yachting fleet – the stunning Oceanis 40.1, now available for charter from our base at Ao Po Grand Marina in Phuket.
Designed by renowned naval architect Marc Lombard, the Oceanis 40.1 has earned a reputation for punching well above its weight. While she’s a 40-foot yacht on paper, clever hull design and an exceptionally wide beam create a feeling of space that’s usually reserved for much larger yachts. It’s a yacht that’s equally at home sailing between Thailand’s spectacular limestone islands as it is relaxing at anchor with a cold drink in hand.
Thailand remains one of the world’s most rewarding sailing destinations. Sheltered waters, short island hops and breathtaking anchorages make it ideal whether you’re planning your first bareboat adventure in Asia or returning for another unforgettable holiday.
From Phuket, you’ll have easy access to iconic destinations including Phang Nga Bay, Koh Hong, the Phi Phi Islands and the countless hidden beaches and secluded bays scattered throughout the Andaman Sea. The Oceanis 40.1 is perfectly suited to these waters, offering a comfortable balance of performance under sail and relaxed cruising when it’s time to soak up the scenery.

One of the first things you’ll notice aboard the Oceanis 40.1 is just how open everything feels.
The large cockpit has been designed with entertaining in mind, providing plenty of seating for friends and family while remaining practical for sailing. Twin helm stations give excellent visibility and make manoeuvring simple, whether you’re slipping into a marina berth or dropping anchor in a quiet bay.
Below deck, natural light floods the saloon through generous hull windows and skylights, creating a bright, welcoming interior. The contemporary styling combines warm wood finishes with clean lines, making the yacht feel both luxurious and practical.
With accommodation for up to eight guests (depending on layout), well-appointed cabins, a spacious galley and comfortable dining area, the Oceanis 40.1 offers everything needed for extended cruising without ever feeling cramped.
Whether you’re an experienced skipper or hiring a professional captain to guide your adventure, the Oceanis 40.1 is designed to make life on the water enjoyable.
Beneteau’s latest hull design delivers excellent stability and reassuring handling, while modern sail controls allow for straightforward sailing with a small crew. The result is a yacht that’s enjoyable for seasoned sailors but equally accessible for those looking to build confidence on the water.
Some yachts focus entirely on performance. Others prioritise comfort at anchor. The Oceanis 40.1 manages to do both.
She sails beautifully when the breeze fills in, yet offers all the comforts you’d expect after a day exploring Thailand’s islands. Swim from the spacious bathing platform, enjoy dinner under the stars in the cockpit, or simply relax on deck as the sun sets over the Andaman Sea.
It’s this versatility that has made the Oceanis range one of the most popular choices for charter sailors around the world.
We’re delighted to welcome the Oceanis 40.1 to the Fairview Yachting fleet, giving guests another fantastic option for exploring one of the world’s greatest sailing destinations.
Whether you’re planning a week of island hopping with friends, a family holiday filled with snorkelling and hidden beaches, or simply want to experience the latest generation of Beneteau cruising yachts, the Oceanis 40.1 delivers an exceptional charter experience. We can’t wait to welcome you aboard. Contact the team today to start planning your charter.
