2000 Beneteau Oceanis 381

Bluewater-Ready 2000 Beneteau Oceanis 381 — Fully Equipped, Single Owner, Move-Aboard Ready This is not a project boat. This is a proven offshore cruiser that has already sailed to St. Lucia and back — twice — and is ready to do it again for her next owner. Owned and maintained by a single owner for 26 years, she has been systematically upgraded for extended, self-sufficient offshore and liveaboard use. Bring your clothes and your food. Everything else is already aboard. The seller has addressed every concern that typically accompanies a boat of this vintage: standing rigging, lifelines, shaft, stuffing box, prop, batteries, inverter/charger, and electronics have all been replaced or upgraded since her return to fresh water in 2012. The result is a 38-foot cruising sloop that is genuinely ready for bluewater passage-making — not one that merely looks the part. Located in South Haven, MI. Available for viewing now. KEY FEATURES • Max Prop 3-Blade Feathering Propeller (Refurbished 2024 with New Blades) A feathering propeller is one of the most impactful performance upgrades a cruising sailor can make. Under sail, a feathering prop folds to dramatically reduce drag compared to a fixed-blade propeller — a meaningful gain in boat speed and VMG on long passages. The Max Prop is a well-regarded brand in this category, and the 2024 refurbishment with new blades means this critical component is in top condition. • 800 Amp-Hours of Lifeline House Batteries (New 2024) + 6.5 KW Northern Lights Generator + 3 KW Xantrex Inverter/Charger The electrical system on this boat is expedition-grade. New Lifeline AGM house batteries (2024), a quiet 3-cylinder Northern Lights generator, a 3 KW true sine wave inverter/charger, 170W of solar, and a dedicated 160-amp second alternator on the engine combine to create a power system capable of running air conditioning, refrigeration, and all electronics for extended periods without shore power. For liveaboard and offshore use, this level of electrical infrastructure is rare at this price point. • In-Mast Furling Mainsail + Furling Genoa (New Furler) + All Lines Led Aft to Self-Tailing Winches The sail-handling system has been configured for short-handed and single-handed sailing. In-mast furling allows the mainsail to be deployed and stowed without leaving the cockpit — a genuine safety and convenience advantage on passage. Combined with a furling genoa on a new furler and all lines led aft, this boat can be managed by one person in a wide range of conditions. The Beneteau Oceanis line is well regarded for its cockpit ergonomics and ease of handling, and this example has been further optimized for that purpose.
