38 Beneteau 2014 Boat for Sale

Gayle Force Boat | 38' Beneteau 2014

I am extremely proud to offer Gayle Force, one of the original Oceanis 38's with the removable bulkhead. This two-owner, private-use, two-cabin, one head cruiser/racer is probably one of the best 38 footers ever built.

She has been the pride and joy of her owners and their families and because of the meticulous professional maintenance this vessel has enjoyed, it really shows. 

Whenever I help someone find a choice boat in the previously-owned market, I am essentially looking for three things.  Once we decide on a desirable model, I am looking for a boat that is well equipped, modestly and privately used and very well maintained.  Gayle Force is the shining example of what I am looking for in a pre-owned boat.

*New Bottom Paint and Sail Drive Service -- 04/2025

*AGM Batteries

*Life Raft

*Filtered drinking water

*Asymetric Spinnaker

If you see her, you will agree, she is very special.  Please call me for a private showing.
