Exterior & Bottom The refit is finished off with fresh bottom paint and a professional buff and wax, leaving the boat looking sharp and ready for the water. Rather than simply being a cosmetic refresh, this refit has concentrated on some of the most important systems aboard a cruising sailboat: navigation, communications, electrical power, charging, wiring, and underwater maintenance. The Oceanis 400 The Beneteau Oceanis 400 is a highly regarded cruising design offering a wonderful balance of sailing performance, comfort, and livability. Her spacious interior and generous cockpit make her equally well suited to relaxing weekends on the Bay or longer cruising adventures.

The hard work and substantial expense have already been done. With approximately $65,000 recently invested at a San Francisco Bay Area boatyard, a modern Raymarine navigation package, upgraded electrical and charging systems, fresh bottom paint, and a beautiful buff and wax, this is an Oceanis 400 ready for her next chapter. Come take a look — the lucky new owner will be getting a beautifully upgraded and thoughtfully refitted Beneteau Oceanis 400 with a tremendous amount of recent work already behind her.88:T2834,<
