Accommodations
When you enter the boat you will find very large and
airy spaces, much larger than what you are used
to seeing on similar-sized boats.This is mostly due
to the remarkable width of this boat. Her maximum
beam is 4.80 metres. Consider, for example, that the
Sun Odyssey 490 has a waterline length of 14.00 me-
tres, compared to the 14.98 metres of the Oceanis
51.1, and a maximum beam of 4.39 metres compa-
red to the 4.80 of the Oceanis: this makes a huge
difference. The greater width is also enhanced by the
effect of the redan, that adds volume in the lower part
of the boat allowing it to be better exploited.
The interior layout is original. The C-shaped galley, lo-
cated to port, is enveloping and equipped with large
worktops, many cabinets and several drawers. The-
re are two refrigerators: a traditional top-loading one,
and a stainless steel one with a vertical door. Forward
of this, the big L-shaped couch is very unique because
it features a chaise longue on the short arm of the L.
On top, the dinette with the doble aft cabins at the
bottom. In the left, one of the boats we tested with
two forward cabins. Down, the L-shaped seat loca-
ted opposite the dining table and the chart table
