All the Benefits of a Center Cockpit—Without the Big-Boat Price!
This 1997 Beneteau Oceanis 36 Center Cockpit is a thoughtfully configured cruising yacht that combines compact size with big-boat comfort. Exceptionally roomy for her length with a protected center cockpit, efficient hull design, and standout accommodations, she offers a premium sailing experience and superb liveaboard capability.
A 2025 pre-purchase survey highlights her sound condition and solid value, underscoring her appeal for coastal cruising, extended weekends, or year-round living aboard.
Key features include a raised helm with excellent visibility, generous interior volume thanks to her beamy hull, and a comfortable two-cabin layout. All wrapped in a beautifully designed hull by Berret-Racoupeau, this Oceanis 36 CC is one of the most desirable center cockpit cruisers in her class.
