The OCEANIS 45 has 4 double cabins, two bathrooms with showers and hot water and a foldable saloon table that becomes a bed, guaranteeing 10 comfortable berths for the passengers. The deck and cockpit layout are clean and functional. The cockpit is very wide, but is bifurcated by a large fixed table with folding leaves. Helm ergonomics are good, with clear sightlines forward and a mix of comfortable steering positions. A long bench seat directly abaft the wheels makes it easy for others to come aft and socialize with the helmsperson. The cockpit’s most impressive feature is the electrically controlled full-width fold-down transom. With just a touch of a button, the entire transom, including that bench seat behind the helms, folds down flat to form an immense teak-covered beach that sits nearly flush with the water.
