38' Beneteau Oceanis 381

The Beneteau Oceanis 381 is a popular cruiser known for its balance of comfort, performance, and ease of handling. Tipsy is a clean, well-maintained example of this proven design. Built by Beneteau USA and designed by Groupe Finot, she features the desirable two-cabin layout, making her ideal for couples, families, or guests.

Powered by a reliable Westerbeke 40B Four diesel engine, Tipsy is equipped with an in-mast furling mainsail and roller furling genoa, allowing for easy short-handed sailing. The spacious cockpit features comfortable seating, dual helm stations, and a walk-through transom with an integrated swim step, making boarding and water access effortless.

Below deck, the warm cherry interior and generous natural light create an inviting living space. The aft cabin is to port with a large double berth and ample storage. The head is located aft to starboard, just behind the navigation station, with access from the main salon. Forward, the V-berth provides a private stateroom with a hanging locker and cabinet space.

The L-shaped galley includes a two-burner stove, double sink, top-loading refrigeration, and plenty of storageeverything needed for extended cruising.

With a moderate 5'4" draft and solid sailing performance, Tipsy is equally suited for coastal cruising or relaxing weekends aboard.
