2017 Beneteau Oceanis 55 Owner’s Version — €399,000 VAT Paid

Owner’s Version · Privately Owned · Never Chartered · Extensively Upgraded

ZEN is a privately owned and never-chartered 2017 Beneteau Oceanis 55 Owner’s Version, comprehensively equipped for comfortable Mediterranean cruising and extended periods away from marinas.

Her sought-after three-cabin layout provides a full-width owner’s suite forward and two double guest cabins aft, together with a separate crew cabin and heads. The spacious saloon, well-equipped galley and generous cockpit make her equally suited to family cruising, entertaining and extended life aboard.

ZEN has benefited from significant investment between 2023 and 2026. Her cruising inventory includes a Fisher Panda 10kVA generator, 150-litre-per-hour watermaker, 660W solar array, Victron inverter system and 60,000 BTU reverse-cycle air conditioning. Together, these systems provide excellent onboard independence in power, water production and climate control.

Handling is made considerably easier by Beneteau’s Dock & Go manoeuvring system, a Side-Power bow thruster, electric Harken winches and twin helm stations. Her sail plan comprises a slab-reefing mainsail and furling genoa, supported by an extensive B&G navigation suite with radar, AIS and four Zeus2 displays across the helm stations.

Recent upgrades and maintenance include:

660W solar installation and solar arch

Victron inverter and MPPT regulation

CRISTEC battery-management equipment and chargers

New sprayhood, bimini and cockpit enclosure

Port and starboard cockpit sunshades

New Lewmar windlass motor, display and chain counter

New Zodiac aluminium-hull tender and Mercury outboard

New Dock & Go joystick and Yanmar remote display

Continued machinery, sail and cruising-system maintenance through 2026

ZEN is offered with an extensive cruising inventory and represents a particularly well-equipped example of the Oceanis 55 Owner’s Version.

She is currently in Athens, Greece, and remains available for inspection by appointment ahead of her planned October haul-out. Live video viewings can also be arranged.

Built by Beneteau in France and launched in 2017, Zen features a white GRP hull, teak side decks and a spacious cockpit centred around twin helm stations.

Powered by a reliable 75hp Yanmar diesel engine with approximately 1900 hours, Zen has been regularly used and maintained as a private cruising yacht. Dock & Go technology and the bow thruster make close quarters manoeuvring simple and stress-free.

Equally impressive is Zen's capability for extended independent cruising. With substantial freshwater and fuel capacity, a high-output watermaker, large battery bank, solar generation, inverter system, generator and comprehensive battery management infrastructure, she has been configured to spend extended periods comfortably at anchor with minimal reliance on shore power. Together with reverse-cycle air conditioning and heating throughout the vessel, these systems create a highly capable cruising platform equally suited to Mediterranean island-hopping, long-term liveaboard use or extended offshore passage.

The condition or level of safety equipment on board is not to be negotiated on following survey. It is likely to be listed by most surveyors but is not structural or an integral working part of the vessel and is not to be used to further negotiate the price down after survey. We strongly suggest that for your own personal safety that when purchasing a yacht you provide new safety equipment rather than relying on second hand gear.Should you become the new owner of this yacht then the responsibility to re-register or update official bodies for items such as EPIRB, VHF, MMSI or AIS becomes yours.
