38' Beneteau oceanis 390

We are selling our Beneteau Oceanis 390, 3-cabin version with the L-shaped galley to starboard.
The boat is available immediately and currently located on the Caribbean coast of Panama. She can be viewed at Panamarina or nearby.
We purchased the boat in mainland France in December 2020. While hauled out, we carried out extensive refit and upgrade work in preparation for long-distance cruising. She was launched in May 2022, and we spent several months cruising along the French coast to Brittany while continuing preparations for our departure. We set off on our transatlantic crossing in December 2023. After 18 months cruising the Caribbean islands, we sailed to Panama, where we have been based for the past year.
After four wonderful years of cruising, we have decided to sell our boat to return closer to family and friends and pursue new projects.

Highlights of this Oceanis 390
Spacious and comfortable cruiser with excellent liveaboard qualities, including 1.95 m (6'5") headroom throughout much of the interior. The saloon is bright and airy thanks to numerous ports and light wood finishes. Additional custom storage solutions have been added beyond the original design, making life aboard even more practical. The large cockpit comfortably seats several guests around the cockpit table.
Carefully upgraded and maintained with a focus on self-sufficiency and simplicity, allowing extended cruising to remote islands while keeping systems easy to maintain and repair.
A capable offshore yacht, seaworthy, robust, and proven for ocean crossings. As part of the first generation of Beneteau Oceanis models, she benefits from solid construction and inspires confidence at sea.
