A rare monohull tour from a broker known for catamarans — meet S/V Adriatic Sense 1, a 2023 Oceanis 51.1 waiting in Croatia.
Zee Kalinic usually walks buyers through catamarans, so when he steps aboard a monohull for the camera, it’s worth paying attention. Filmed dockside at Marina Kremik in Croatia, this short introduction sets the stage for S/V Adriatic Sense 1, a 2023 Beneteau Oceanis 51.1 in the sought-after First Line trim.
Why This Oceanis Stands Out
The Oceanis 51.1 has become one of Beneteau’s signature bluewater cruisers, offering the volume and comfort of a modern 52-footer with the sailing manners the range is known for. The First Line specification typically caters to owners who want their monohull ready for immediate cruising or charter — a natural fit for the Croatian coast where this boat is lying.
At just two model years old, Adriatic Sense 1 represents a chance to step into a nearly-new Beneteau without the wait times associated with a factory order. Marina Kremik, on Croatia’s Dalmatian coast, is a practical handover point for buyers planning an Adriatic season or a longer Mediterranean itinerary.
Where It Sits in the Market
Beneteau brokerage activity across YachtSite has been steady but selective in recent months. For context on the wider Beneteau market:
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Recent Beneteau solds (24 mo.) | 37 |
| Median sold price | $78,950 |
| Median days to sell | ~133 |
| Active Beneteau listings | 40 |
| Active asking range | $29,000–$849,000 |
| Median active asking | $118,500 |
A late-model 51.1 sits well above the fleet median — reflecting its size, age, and specification relative to the older Beneteaus that make up much of the resale pool.
