The 2001 Beneteau Oceanis 361 represents one of Beneteau’s most successful cruising designs - blending comfortable liveaboard accommodations with responsive sailing performance and timeless European styling. Lovingly maintained by only two owners since new, this exceptionally cared-for Oceanis 361 has spent most of her life sailing the protected waters of San Francisco Bay while berthed at a private dock along the scenic San Rafael Canal.

Beneteau described the Oceanis 361 as "a revolution in design both above and below decks," and it’s easy to understand why. The bright and expansive salon feels remarkably open for a 36-foot yacht, featuring a forward-facing navigation station, generous seating, abundant natural light, and a thoughtfully designed galley with extensive counter space for comfortable cruising or entertaining aboard. The large head compartment includes a separate shower - an uncommon luxury in this size range.

This vessel has benefited from attentive ownership and continuous upgrades. In 2020, the boat received new standing rigging and sails, providing both confidence and performance for years ahead. A newer bimini and dodger package remain in beautiful condition and offer excellent protection from sun and spray while underway or at anchor. The cockpit has been upgraded with all new cushions, creating an inviting outdoor living space equally suited for bay cruising, sunset entertaining, or extended coastal passages.

Mechanical and cosmetic maintenance aboard this Oceanis 361 has been exceptional. The hull is professionally dived and cleaned every two months, zincs are replaced regularly, and all winches are serviced annually, reflecting the level of stewardship rarely found in today’s brokerage market. A new starboard winch was also installed to replace the original equipment.

With her elegant lines, respected Beneteau pedigree, modern cruising layout, and obvious pride of ownership throughout, this Oceanis 361 presents a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a turnkey cruiser that has been genuinely loved and meticulously maintained.

Truly an honor to represent this beautiful yacht.
