2017 Beneteau Oceanis 38.1

The 2017 Beneteau Oceanis 38.1 is a 38-foot fiberglass cruising sailboat built for comfortable passagemaking and extended anchoring. Its hull form prioritizes stability and speed through extended length and beam on the waterline, while the shoal draft of 5'6" opens access to shallow cruising grounds. Twin helm stations provide flexibility for different sailing conditions, and a full-width swim platform at the stern serves as a social hub.

Below deck, the two-cabin layout centers on privacy and livable space. The owner cabin, accessed via double doors, offers a secluded retreat with windows on both sides that flood the space with light. The forward cabin mirrors this openness with long windows along the hull. A single head with separate shower handles sanitation needs efficiently. The L-shaped galley and large salon with facing seat arrangement create a comfortable common area, with abundant cabinetry and hanging lockers throughout for storage.

Power comes from a Yanmar 30 hp diesel engine with 318 hours of operation. The boat carries a 55'5" mast and is equipped with a bow thruster, electric cabin-top winch controls, and remote anchor chain counter at the helm. Air conditioning, an inverter, and a stereo system with salon and cockpit speakers support comfortable cruising. The mainsheet arch carries an integrated bimini top and dodger frame in need of new canvas. Batteries were replaced in November 2025.
