The Oceanis was designed to provide her owners with plenty of cruising performance and comfort, blended with safety and true ease of handling. Her low center of gravity allows her to sail efficiently on all points of sail while providing excellent stability. In the interior, open spaces provide comfort for your guests and family. The galley is close at hand both to the cockpit and the salon so the chef is never far from the rest of the crew.
