2015 Beneteau Oceanis 55

The 2015 Beneteau Oceanis 55 is a fiberglass cruising sailboat built for extended offshore voyages. With a beam of 16.25 feet and substantial accommodations, the yacht is designed for both comfortable cruising and entertaining. The hull features a shoal keel suited to shallow-water exploration in the Caribbean and Bahamas. A single 80-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine with three 53-gallon fuel tanks provides approximately 1000 nautical miles of range at 8 knots cruising speed.

The interior comprises three staterooms and four heads arranged for owner and guest comfort. The master cabin sits forward with an island queen berth, storage beneath, and an ensuite head divided into separate toilet and shower compartments. Two additional queen staterooms flank the companionway, each with large hull windows and private heads with showers. The main salon is expansive, with a couch and sectional seating for eight around a teak table, brightened by multiple overhead and hull windows. The galley lies to port with a three-burner range and oven, dishwasher, separate deep freezer, refrigerator, and dual sinks with filtered water and blue-light purification. A crew cabin forward houses two bunks and a shower with its own foredeck entrance. Central air conditioning and heating serve all spaces, powered by shore connections or an 8-kilowatt Fischer Panda generator.

The yacht carries comprehensive electronics including five B&G Zeus 2 multifunction displays networked via NMEA 2000, Navionics Platinum Plus charting, integrated Yammer engine monitoring, AIS, autopilot, and dual communication systems with Starlink and Iridium GO mounted on the arch. Power management includes a lithium iron phosphate house battery bank, 820 watts of solar panels, multiple charging systems, and a 2000-watt sine wave inverter. Navigation and comfort systems span B&G autopilot and wifi integration, multiple Samsung televisions, upgraded Fusion audio with Bluetooth, and USB charging stations throughout.

Sail control is fully modern: the mainsail furls in-mast, the genoa rides a roller furler, and asymmetrical spinnakers deploy via top-down furling. Electric winch packages include dual 60-ton and dual 46-ton models with line clutches and Harken blocks. A 15-gallon-per-hour watermaker fills dual 60-gallon fresh water tanks. The rig was recently tuned. Safety equipment includes a Viking eight-person liferaft in service, EPIRB, lifesling, and dan buoy. A 2022 Highfield CL360 aluminum RIB tender with a Yamaha 25-horsepower outboard and launch wheels rides the arch davits. The yacht includes extensive spare parts and rigging inventories.
