Now there is an opportunity to acquire a well-equipped and thoroughly maintained Beneteau Oceanis 48, located in one of the world’s most attractive sailing areas in the Caribbean. The boat is being sold by its first owner, who has used her for longer voyages to destinations such as the Galapagos and through the Caribbean archipelago. This boat is prepared for independent living onboard with solutions for energy, water, and maintenance, complemented by a new standing rigging and has also recently undergone a professional survey with very high marks.

The boat was ordered new by the current Swedish owners and delivered directly to Panama. Since then, she has mainly been sailed in the Caribbean by the owners themselves, with longer voyages to places such as the Galapagos and across the Atlantic in both directions. After these voyages, the owners chose to return to the Caribbean, where the climate, sailing conditions, and environment suited them particularly well.
Under sail, the boat is easy to handle even for two people, with all essential functions gathered in the cockpit and good visibility from the helm positions. The rigging is updated and provides flexibility in varying conditions, contributing to safety during longer passages. The construction offers a stable and predictable performance, while the protected cockpit provides a safe working environment even in more demanding weather.
The cockpit is simultaneously one of the boat’s most prominent qualities and serves as a natural center on board. There are generous spaces for both sailing and socializing, with a cockpit table integrated with a refrigerator that simplifies everyday life at sea. The relatively new bimini provides effective protection against sun and weather and can be supplemented with side panels to create a more comprehensive, sheltered environment when needed. Aft, the experience is further enhanced by the large swim platform, which makes life close to the water easy, and the gangway becomes convenient when mooring stern-to the dock.
A clear strength is the boat’s high degree of autonomy. The energy and water systems allow for longer periods without the need for shore contact, and on board, there is a well-thought-out and custom-built workshop for self-maintenance, with accompanying spare parts and tools. This creates good conditions for sailing in areas where access to service is limited.
The boat was recently surveyed by an authorized surveyor with a very positive overall assessment, and subsequent measures have been carried out at a yard in Grenada. The overall impression is of a well-maintained and thoroughly worked-out long-distance cruiser, ready to be taken further by the next owner who dreams of the Caribbean archipelago and further sailing to new destinations around the world.
