About this boat
1998 Beneteau Oceanis 381 – Glory Days Freshwater Cruiser | Only 500 Engine Hours | Two-Cabin Owner's Layout | Rudder Refurbished August 2026 A fantastic opportunity to own a well-equipped, freshwater 1998 Beneteau Oceanis 381. Glory Days offers an excellent combination of comfortable cruising accommodations, capable sailing performance, and practical features that have made the Oceanis series so popular. Featuring the highly desirable two-cabin owner's layout, this 381 offers significantly more living space than many comparable cruising sailboats. With two generous double cabins, a spacious salon, a large L-shaped galley, and a comfortable cockpit, she is ideally suited for extended cruising, weekends away, or entertaining family and friends. Powered by a 52 HP Yanmar diesel with approximately 500 engine hours, Glory Days stands out for her exceptionally low reported engine usage. The rudder was professionally refurbished in August 2026, providing an important recent maintenance update. Her sailing configuration features an in-mast furling mainsail and furling genoa, making sail handling straightforward and manageable for a cruising couple or smaller crew. A full dodger and bimini with connecting panel provide excellent cockpit protection, while the generous beam delivers the interior volume Beneteau is known for. Below deck, the owner's layout features a particularly spacious galley with both front-opening refrigeration and a separate top-opening freezer, a two-burner propane stove with oven, microwave, and ample storage. The large salon and two private double cabins create an inviting space for extended stays aboard.
