38 Beneteau 2019 Boat for Sale

Fine Tuned Boat | 38' Beneteau 2019

The Beneteau Oceanis 38.1 occupies a genuinely rare position in the production sailboat market: a boat that serious sailors respect and comfortable cruisers love. The 38.1 brought hard chines, a planing-capable hull, and a thoroughly modern sailplan to a size range just under 40 feet that a couple can handle confidently without sacrificing the liveability that makes longer passages enjoyable. She proved to be a model that changed a lot of minds about what a production cruiser could be.

Fine Tuned takes that already capable platform and elevates it with a carefully considered package of upgrades aimed squarely at offshore and extended coastal cruising. The original roller-furling main has been replaced with a traditional slab-reefing setup, an asymmetrical spinnaker has been added for downwind miles, and the B&G electronics suite, water capacity, and safety inventory have all been significantly enhanced. With just 338 engine hours, fresh bottom paint, and a new stack pack in 2025, this boat is genuinely ready to go; not just listed as ready to go.

• 2-cabin, 1-head layout with separate shower stall

• Yanmar 3YM30AE, 30 HP — 338 engine hours | 3-bladed MaxProp feathering propeller

• Slab-reefing mainsail (upgraded from factory roller-furling) + Ullman asymmetrical spinnaker

• B&G Zeus 3 7" chartplotter, Class-B AIS transceiver, autopilot, AirMar DST810 TriSensor

• Shore-side air conditioning | 1x electric winch (port coachroof)

• Air draft: 55'5" | Shoal keel draft: 5'5" — ICW friendly

• Fresh Pettit Trinidad Pro bottom paint (2025) | New custom stack pack with trolley zipper (2025)

• Electric windlass | ePIRB | DAN buoy | Lifesling | Easy Reboard ladder

• Total freshwater capacity: ~112 gallons (dealer-installed secondary bow tank)

Fine Tuned is powered by a Yanmar 3YM30AE three-cylinder, naturally aspirated 30 HP diesel turning just 338 hours. A sail drive unit connected to a three-bladed MaxProp feathering propeller, an upgrade that reduces drag under sail and provides excellent motoring performance in reverse. A spare fixed-blade propeller is also included. 

Electronics & Navigation

The electronics suite is B&G throughout and represents a significant investment above the standard build:

• B&G Zeus 3 7" chartplotter with Navionics subscription (conveys with vessel)

• Class-B AIS transceiver a meaningful upgrade for offshore passage-making

• B&G autopilot

• Depth & speed data via AirMar DST810 TriSensor (upgraded from factory sensor)

• Shore-side air conditioning throughout

• AGM battery bank

• Electric windlass for easy anchor handling

• 1x electric winch (port side of coachroof)

• Shore power connection

The interior reflects the signature Nauta Design aesthetic: clean lines, generous natural light through large hull windows, a layout with priority on social space in the saloon. The L-shaped galley maximizes interaction with guests rather than isolating the cook.

• Layout: 2 cabins, 1 head with separate shower stall

• Forward owner's cabin accessed via double doors spanning the full beam where the doors are removable to further open the interior

• L-shaped galley with good counter space and storage 

• Freshwater capacity: 112 gallons total (dealer-installed secondary bow tank more than doubles factory capacity)

• 34-gallon rotomolded diesel tank

The cockpit is set up for easy short-handed sailing with the running rigging led aft, and the mainsail arch keeps the space tidy and uncluttered.

• Premium light grey canvas package: dodger, bimini, and connector

• Upgraded teak cockpit table

• Mainsail arch with electric winch on port side of coachroof

• Double bow roller assembly (supports additional headsails)

• Manual, fully opening transom with gas cylinder assist.

• Edson outboard engine rail mount for dinghy motor storage

• New custom stack pack with trolley zipper (2025) — eliminates the trapped-water/mildew issue common on factory stack packs

Fine Tuned has been deliberately optimized for real-world sailing performance, moving away from the charter-based convenience-oriented factory configuration toward a more seaworthy setup:

• Traditional slab-reefing mainsail (replaced original roller-furling mast setup)

• Roller-furling headsail

• Custom Ullman asymmetrical spinnaker with complete hardware and rigging package

• Double bow roller supports additional headsail options as conditions dictate

• Upgraded running rigging throughout

• ePIRB

• DAN buoy

• Lifesling rescue system

• Easy Reboard ladder

• Jack lines

• Radar reflector

• Portable manual/electric bilge pump

• Electric windlass for anchor set and retrieval

• Class-B AIS transceiver

Fine Tuned is a well-sorted, turn-key cruising package built on one of the most versatile production hulls of the last decade. The upgrades aren't cosmetic, they represent the considered choices of an experienced owner who actually sails: a proper slab-reefing main, a full offshore safety kit, doubled water capacity, and a serious electronics suite. With low hours, fresh bottom paint, and a new stack pack, the heavy lifting has already been done. If you've been waiting for an Oceanis 38.1 that's genuinely ready for the Bahamas, the ICW, or an offshore passage this is worth a close look. Contact Current Yachts to arrange your showing.
