## Description

PART EXCHANGE & FINANCE AVAILABLE ON THIS BOAT

Sea Monkey is an example of the ever-popular Beneteau Oceanis 40, combining style, comfort, and cruising capability in equal measure.

The two-cabin layout allows for generous living space, including a large saloon, L-shaped galley, and a spacious head with separate shower.
