The Océanis 38 European Yacht of the Year 2014
Cruising at everyone's pace on seas the world over. Whether sailing single-handed, as a couple, with the family or with friends, the Oceanis 38 can make your sailing dreams come true. Conceived to fit and evolve with you, adapting to the different stages of your life and your lifestyle. With a unique modular approach; daysailer, weekender or cruiser it`s your choice. Change your layout, modify your boat in the future-no problem.
DAY SAILER, WEEKENDER, CRUISER, the Oceanis 38 adapts to three worlds and evolves to match your needs, desires, and lifestyle.
In its initial layout, the Oceanis 38 is designed like a loft, at sea. Inside, the comfortable companionway opens onto a single area not constrained by bulkheads. You get a striking feeling of space. The view to the bow is completely clear, large sofas and a deliberately minimalist galley stand before you. The fittings are reduced to essential needs. The rear of the yacht is dedicated to storage and the cockpit is uncluttered. The DAYSAILER version is for people who sail for a few hours.
For a few days, the Oceanis 38 WEEKENDER is an excellent progression. It offers a choice between 2 layouts (2 or 3 cabins to be fitted out) which the customer configures as he wishes: open or closed cabins, separate shower cubicle, fitted galley, extra table inside/out, helm seats, etc. to create a boat he can call his own.
In the tradition of the Oceanis line, the CRUISER is more conventional, if you wish to set off for a few weeks. You can have 2 or 3 fitted cabins, a large galley facing the saloon seating 6 people, and a first for a yacht of this size a completely separate shower room. Its original and more traditional layout can also evolve, since the bulkheads of the fore cabin can be removed to give the large open, loft-like atmosphere. The outside fittings are comprehensive, since among other things, it has the mainsail arch, helm seats, and bathing platform.
The modern hull lines are designed by Finot-Conq Architects, one of the leading studios for todays chined, high stability and performance hull shapes.
Under sail, she offers good sea-keeping and performance thanks to a balanced sail plan: central mast, jib with little overlap, mainsail sheet on arch. Her chined construction on the full length of the hull helps maintain a moderate angle of heel and the twin rudders give superb control.
The Nauta Design office has put all its talent into the design of the interior fittings and for the first time with Beneteau they sign a deck plan. On board, there is a boldly modern feel: taupe textile linings, light-coloured wood and brown oak flooring, giving a light and harmoniously warm atmosphere, thanks to 4 large hull portholes.
