High-performing and as open to the sea as it is to life, the Oceanis 38 boasts new space organization options on board. The upgradeable sailing boat par excellence. It gives you a choice between two layouts (two or three cabins). It's then up to you to customize your boat as you wish: open or closed cabins, separate shower cabin, fitted kitchen, interior/ exterior spare table, helmsman seats... Allowing you to create a boat that is just like you.
Step aboard this 2017 Beneteau Oceanis 38 Weekender and discover a yacht that redefines what cruising should feel like. With sleek modern lines, an inviting cockpit, and an interior that feels more like a contemporary loft than a sailboat, the Oceanis 38 is designed to turn every outing into a getaway.
The Weekender layout offers the best of both worlds—spacious, flexible living areas for entertaining, and cozy, private cabins when it’s time to retreat. Large windows flood the salon with natural light, while the smart galley and open plan make weekends on the water effortless and enjoyable.
On deck, twin helms, a generous beam carried aft, and Beneteau’s signature easy-sailing rig deliver confidence and fun at the helm—whether you’re sailing singlehanded or with friends and family. At anchor, drop the transom and enjoy a wide swim platform that brings you right to the water’s edge.
Stylish, versatile, and ready to sail, this 2017 Oceanis 38 Weekender isn’t just a boat—it’s your passport to freedom, adventure, and relaxation.
