1997 Beneteau Oceanis 36 CC

The Beneteau Oceanis 36 CC is a centre-cockpit cruising yacht built on a solid fiberglass hull. Power comes from a Volvo Penta MD2040 diesel engine rated at 40 horsepower—an upgrade from the standard 28 HP option that improves manoeuvrability and performance under power. Standing rigging was replaced in 2020 by a specialist rigger in Marmaris, and the yacht shows consistent maintenance throughout its ownership.

The centre cockpit provides excellent visibility and protection, with all primary sail controls led aft for straightforward management of the furling headsail and mainsail. This layout makes the boat well-suited to short-handed sailing. Below deck, the interior offers generous volume for a 36-footer. The aft owner's cabin features a large offset double berth, seating area, dressing table, and locker storage. A second double cabin sits forward, while the saloon provides comfortable seating around a folding table that converts to an additional berth.

The galley is well-appointed with expansive counter space, twin stainless-steel sinks, a large refrigerator with freezer compartment, and accessible storage throughout. The boat carries upgraded electrical systems including solar panels and lithium batteries, navigation electronics, a stainless-steel arch, and a comprehensive inventory of safety equipment and spare parts. The combination of practical accommodation and equipment makes this a capable platform for extended cruising.
