Asking for Direction is a reference to� the sellerâ��s film company. Lightly used and well equippedâ�¦She has only sailed in Lake Erieâ��s Freshwater. Professionally maintained by RCR Yachts and features several custom features. Her Yanmar Diesel has only 40 hours on it.
- Custom Bimini, dodger and connecter
- Custom winter cover & frame
- Gorgeous custom cockpit cushions with backs and accent pillows
- Custom Draperies and bedding
- Custom painted steel cradle
Ã?Â
Accommodations:
In the 2-cabin layout, the extra space aft to starboard is used for a standup shower. It�s not so much a stall as a small shower room. It will also make a fine wet locker when not in use. All three interior layouts make the most of the 6� 5� headroom and include a removable forward bulkhead that separates the master stateroom from the salon. Without it, the boat seems huge below, and for couples, this will most likely be the preferred configuration. The bulkhead panels can be replaced and removed easily but will have to be stored off the boat. Many owners including this one will probably keep them in their garage and opt for the
wide-open look that make this design so alluring.
The Hull:
Beam is carried well aft to a wide stern, but the boat�s twin rudders allow the hull to grip the water regardless of the heel angle. A hard chine flowing from well forward all the way aft also helps keep the Oceanis 38 sailing up to 5 degrees flatter than it otherwise would.
On Deck:
The weekender and Cruiser versions come standard with a mainsheet arch over the cockpit and a drop-leaf cockpit table for entertaining.
Twin helms open up the middle of the cockpit, and there is good access from the companionway all the way aft, where Beneteau�s signature hinged transom drops down into a formidable swim platform that seems to add another dimension to the deck plan. The side decks are wide and easy to maneuver on, and there are good handholds on the cabin top.

Beneteau Oceanis 38: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Beneteau Oceanis 38 represents an evolutionary approach to yacht design, focusing on meeting the owner's needs with versatility and comfort. This model offers three distinct interior layout options—day sailor, weekender, or cruiser—catering to a range of cruising preferences. Despite light and variable winds during testing in Tampa Bay, the Oceanis 38 demonstrated commendable sailing performance, highlighting its adaptability in diverse conditions.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
Measuring a beam of 13 feet 1 inch, the Oceanis 38 features a spacious cockpit equipped with dual helms, enhancing maneuverability and control. The fold-down stern boarding platform extends the cockpit area to the water's edge, facilitating easy access. The wide cockpit includes long bench seats and a central table that comfortably seats six, with integrated handrails and storage. Dual helm stations provide seating both outboard and aft, with ample space for electronics. Safety features include pelican hooks on triple stainless lifelines securing the transom and bench seats that can be raised to clear passage. The teak decking and steps ensure secure footing, while the arch is fitted with multiple handrails to aid movement forward. The bow area is well-appointed with two anchor rollers, a large road locker, and a deck-mounted windlass that doubles as a snubbing point for dock lines. Additional conveniences include a hot and cold freshwater shower wand, a propane locker, and a large storage compartment accessible via the cockpit hatch.
Interior Living Spaces
Below deck, the Oceanis 38 impresses with an open interior layout enhanced by numerous deadlights, cabin side windows, and hatches that flood the space with natural light and ventilation. The galley, located along the starboard side, is designed to comfortably accommodate two people working simultaneously. It features a deep stainless steel sink with ample counter space, a refrigerator beneath, and storage options including cabinets and drawers. A centrally positioned gimbaled two-burner propane stove with oven is complemented by additional counter space and storage for utensils and cookware. The salon includes a versatile U-shaped dinette formed by removable cube seats and a table, which can be stowed when not in use to maximize space. Adjacent to the dinette are the entertainment system, main electrical panel, and optional television, along with storage cabinets and a chart table with a soft-closing lid.
Private Accommodations and Heads
The Oceanis 38 offers comfortable private quarters with thoughtful design elements to enhance livability. The forward cabin houses a queen-sized berth illuminated by rectangular deadlights, with a deep drawer beneath for clothing storage. Instead of traditional hanging lockers, the design incorporates luggage hooks to hang suitcases and garment bags, preserving the open feel. The starboard head, located aft of the galley, includes storage, a retractable shower head at the sink, shower curtains, and ample light and ventilation through windows and port lights. A dedicated shower compartment features a seat, cubbies for essentials, and an opening port light. The aft cabin on the port side boasts a large athwartships bed extending beyond the centerline, with sufficient sitting and standing headroom. Two port lights provide natural light and cross ventilation, and luggage hooks are also present. This cabin also houses the ship's batteries, switches, and offers access to steering gear in the lazarette.
Power and Performance
Powered by an inboard diesel engine accessible through multiple points—including the shower, aft cabin, and beneath the companionway stairs—the Oceanis 38 offers excellent maintenance access to critical components such as the fuel filter, belts, engine-mounted seawater pump, C-strainer, and the 115-volt pump for dual air conditioning units. The twin rudders contribute to a responsive helm, particularly noticeable under power when maneuvering in reverse, steering precisely in the direction of the wheel input. Sail handling is simplified with sheet stoppers on the cabin top for all key lines, including the optional furling mainsail whose mainsheet is trimmed from the overhead arch. The standard roller furling headsail is easily managed from the cockpit, and the available self-tacking jib further facilitates single-handed sailing. Despite light wind conditions during testing, the Oceanis 38 sailed well in as little as five knots of wind, demonstrating its capability and ease of handling.
Conclusion
The Beneteau Oceanis 38 is a thoughtfully designed yacht that balances spaciousness, comfort, and ease of handling. Its versatile interior layouts, generous natural light, and practical features below deck complement a well-appointed exterior and deck plan. The twin rudder configuration and accessible engine compartment enhance performance and maintenance convenience. Overall, the Oceanis 38 presents a compelling option for sailors seeking a modern cruiser that adapts well to various cruising styles and conditions.
