Fleet Photos and Details

2019 capri 22 (12).

Brand new, 2019 model, day-sailors and training boats. Tiller driven with self-tailing winches, furling head sails, and classic mainsails. The Capris have a snug and cushioned interior with a self-contained head. Our 22’s are high-performance boats that are fun to sail in any condition, yet easy and stable for beginner skippers.

MORE DETAILS

2006 Catalina 28 (2)

The smallest of our cruisers, the Catalina 28 offers a large cockpit with wheel steering, inboard diesel engine, and all control lines leading aft. A comfortable interior offers a full galley, two cabins, a head, shower, and salon table. A great boat for a small crowd and the most popular amongst our newly certified ASA 103 sailors.

2022 Oceanis 30.1

Performance hull design, large cockpit, a folding swim step, and her twin helm  makes the Oceanis 30.1 fun and fast in a small package. Below are two cabins, a very spacious head/shower combo, and room for the entire family to gather around her collapsible salon table.

2019, 2018, 2017, 2013, Oceanis 31

A modern and luxurious sailboat in a small package. Easy to sail for newly certified ASA 103 members, yet a popular choice for experienced skippers. Teak cockpit floors and seats, choice of furling or classic mainsail, and electronics, all under the shade of a bimini top. Full interior with two cabins, a galley, head, shower, and salon table.

2011 Oceanis 34

The larger sister of the Oceanis 31 with the same lines but much larger throughout. Teak cockpit floors and benches, a furling mainsail, and a full electronics package under her bimini. A spacious interior with an L-shaped galley, salon table, two private cabins, and a head/shower complete her interior.

2023 Oceanis 34.1

Sleeker, lighter, and faster.  The new Oceanis 34.1 will turn heads. A familiar interior with an L-shaped galley, as well as a full-beam salon with two large sofas. The larger bow section creates a roomy and functional forward cabin, in addition to the aft stateroom. Her upgraded Selden rig package with a  German-style mainsheet makes for easy mainsail furling.

2015 Oceanis 35

A modern performance hull design featuring a hard chine, as well as twin rudders, a wide beam, twin helms, and an oversized cockpit, all under a bimini and connector shade. Below is an open loft-style with a linear galley and an exposed forward cabin.  Her drop-down transom extends the cockpit at anchor and allows easy access to the ocean.

2021 (2), 2018 Oceanis 35.1

Identical hull design to the Oceanis 35, but with an upgraded cockpit table, electronics, and dodger. Sail handling is a breeze on the 35.1s with a wide beam, twin rudder, hard chine, and deep keel. Below is a classic L-shaped galley to port with a forward cabin opening through French-style doors, as well as an electric head with a separate shower room. Featuring a drop-down transom to extend the cockpit at anchor.

2017 Oceanis 37

The larger sister of the Oceanis 34’s, the Oceanis 37’s are bigger and better! More sail area delivers more power and a longer length overall means more comfort. Auto pilot, electric anchor windlass, and a large cockpit table are all shaded under her bimini. Below, the Oceanis 37 has three private cabins for larger families, a full galley with ample counter space, a head and shower, an  inverter, and a spacious salon.

2021 Oceanis 38.1

The chined hull of the Oceanis 38.1 offers particularly surprising comfortability while cruising. Nice and taut to aft, and low on the water, the rigidity under sail of this cruiser takes her further and faster, and with exceptional stability. Three cabins below allow for family overnights, and above deck, her skipper will appreciate an electric mainsail winch, bow thruster, radar, and two B&G screens at the helm. The Oceanis 38.1 fights above her weight class!

2020, 2019 Oceanis 41.1

An updated version of the Oceanis 41, the Oceanis 41.1 delivers a sleeker and more spacious design. A lighter boat with more sail area, the 41.1 is fast, yet controllable. A skipper’s dream featuring twin wheels, three chart plotters, an electric swim platform, and an electric mainsail winch. Below are three spacious cabins, a folding salon table that seats 8, and new, larger windows that bring in more light and create an illusion of even more space.

2020 Oceanis 46.1

Designed off the plans of the Oceanis 51.1, the 46.1 truly delivers what Beneteau is known for. Fast and easy to sail with a spacious cockpit and comfortable living space. She features electric winches throughout with all lines leading to the helm. Her furling mainsail and self-tacking jib make the skipper’s duties simple with all control lines at the helm. Enjoy three roomy cabins below, including a true master cabin with a private head forward, and additional sleeping with the convertible salon table. 

2019 Oceanis 51.1

The flagship of the Harbor Sailboats fleet, the 51.1 delivers luxury and performance across all her lines. Featuring a cockpit spacious enough for 12, four electric winches leading to the helm, a furling mainsail, self-tacking jib, an electric swim platform, and so much more! Below are four cabins, four showers, three heads, and a convertible salon table.
