Used Beneteau 373 Sailboats for Sale

The Beneteau 373, introduced in the early 2000s as a successor to the popular 361, represents a definitive era in the Oceanis line where volume, light, and ease of handling became the primary design drivers. Designed by the esteemed firm Berret-Racoupeau, the 373 was marketed in Europe as the Oceanis Clipper 373 and quickly gained a reputation for offering the interior volume typically found in 40-foot vessels. The hull features a relatively fine entry that flares quickly into a wide beam carried well aft, a signature of Berret-Racoupeau’s approach to maximizing cockpit space and aft cabin volume. Produced in both France and the United States (Marion, South Carolina), the model enjoyed a successful production run until 2007, when it was replaced by the Oceanis 37. During its tenure, it earned significant acclaim, including being named Cruising World’s Boat of the Year for its category, specifically noted for its innovative use of natural light and "big boat" ergonomics.
