Description
Five Buoys is a very well equipped 2015 Beneteau Oceanis 38 sailing yacht, in the desirable three-cabin cruiser layout. Designed by Finot Conq with interior design by Nauta Yachts, the Oceanis 38 was built with the idea of creating a modern, bright, easy-to-sail cruising yacht with impressive interior volume, a large cockpit and strong sailing performance for her size.
Five Buoys boasts the Oceanis 38 version that buyers tend to look for - she is the proper cruiser layout with three cabins, a larger cockpit, a fold down swim platform, an arch, 29 hp engine, bow thruster and autopilot, as well as the additional cruising equipment that makes her a perfect fit for the Pacific Northwest.
The Oceanis 38 has a reputation for offering a strong balance of performance and ease of handling. This is a well-equipped cruiser with the right layout and the right options. For a buyer looking for a clean, modern cruiser that is bright, comfortable and easy to sail, Five Buoys is a very compelling option.
She is available for viewing on our sales dock in Port Sidney Marina, Vancouver Island.
ACCOMMODATIONS

The interior feels open and modern, with generous natural light from the hull ports, deckhouse windows, and overhead hatches. Five Buoyshighlights the open plan concept, adaptable layout with the modifiable bulkhead, as well as the ability to cruise single handed or with family and friends.
