Beneteau Blue II Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a Beneteau Blue II means looking at a French cruising catamaran designed by Philippe Briand and first built in 1985, now out of production. At 34 feet with a 19.65-foot beam and twin fixed fin keels, she is a modest coastal multihull whose separated-hull accommodation still appeals to two-couple buyers who want privacy without a larger boat's overhead.
Layouts on the Used Market
Every Blue II carries the same core plan: sleeping accommodation for four with a double berth in a cabin in each hull, so a couple in each hull gets its own space. The main salon between the hulls has a U-shaped settee, while the starboard hull places an L-shaped galley aft with a stove and sink, and the port hull holds the head. On the used market this is the only layout you will find, and its split-function hulls are the boat's defining trait rather than a configurable option.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Solar, inverter, and hot water are commonly fitted on Blue II examples, forming the practical upgrade cluster most buyers will meet. Solar and an inverter together let a moored or anchored boat run lights and small loads without the diesel, while hot water turns the period galley and head into usable liveaboard spaces. Beyond that trio, the original galley stove and sink remain the baseline, and any navigation or canvas additions should be judged as owner work rather than factory standard.
What to Inspect
The known construction is predominantly glassfibre with wood trim and solid fibreglass hulls and deck. A buyer should confirm the wood trim for rot where it meets deck penetrations, and check the twin internally mounted spade-type rudders and their steering linkage for play, since internal mounts hide wear. The keel-stepped mast should be inspected at the step for compression or water ingress through the stainless steel wire standing rigging.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
The Blue II typically appears on the used market in the United States, Greece, and Denmark. For a shopper, the checklist is short: confirm both hulls' double cabins are dry, verify the starboard galley and port head function, and test the wheel-steered twin rudders for free movement. A clean example with solar, inverter, and hot water already aboard is the one to target.
