Details

Claudia VIII is an extremely clean and well maintained Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 361. She features a remarkably roomy three-cabin layout with a full-size galley and a large head with a standalone shower. The in-mast furling main with lines led aft make her easy to sail short-handed, and the roomy cockpit with a walk-through transom to a swim platform are great for family cruising. The bow thruster makes docking, even in tricky situations a breeze.

There is minimal exterior teak and all systems are easily accessible, so you’ll spend less time maintaining and more time sailing. She also includes some newer electronics, solar panel, dinghy with electric motor and brand new Marine Master 60ah starter and 80ah house bank batteries.

Boat completely checked in 2024 in preparation for Atlantic crossing. If you are looking for an excellent long-term cruiser or a great vacation/weekender, Claudia VIII is definitely a must-see for you to consider.
