AccommodationsClick for larger view of Beneteau 281 salon

Beneteau has a knack for making the most of the interior. The forward part of the cabin, is vee berth that works for kids as it is, yet easily makes down into a full sized berth for adults. It is extended by folding down the forward settee cushion. Both the port and starboard settees can also be used as berths.

The dinette is very flexible with two drop leafs that allow multiple configurations.

The L-shaped galley is to port of the companionway with a S.S. sink, hot and cold pressure water, nice sized ice box and a gimbaled Origo 1500/3000 Alcohol stove with 2 burners.

Aft of the galley is the entrance to the private aft stateroom. There is a generous berth, with a hanging locker and opening ports for ventilation.

Across from the galley to starboard is the navigation table, and aft of that is the head. Manual head with holding tank (ability to pump out can be enabled in legal zones), shower with hot and cold running water and storage.
