Beneteau Oceanis 350 Buyer's Guide
The Beneteau Oceanis 350 is a Philippe Briand-designed cruiser built between 1986 and 1993, with owner three-cabin layouts more common on the used market and ex-charter examples frequently available alongside the two-cabin version. She is a 34-foot coastal and charter-minded yacht whose liveaboard comfort still draws family buyers.
Layouts on the Used Market
Most used Oceanis 350s show the three-cabin owner plan that gives two couples private quarters, while the charter derivative with double aft cabins—built only in France—reduces the starboard locker and head size. The single-aft-cabin arrangement carries a larger heads but less stowage, and the twin version restricts storage further. Below, light ash veneers keep the cabins airy, though the forecabin is little more than a sleeping platform and the forward hatch is too small for sail bags. The elevated cockpit sits above the aft cabin, with the bridgedeck flush to the seat tops.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Power and energy systems on these boats commonly include solar, autopilot, and heating, with a chartplotter typically fitted; lithium batteries are often seen as an upgrade. A windlass can be installed inside the anchor compartment, but the original bow roller is too short for an articulated plow and the locker cover was described by one owner as flimsy with a large hole. Canvas such as a dodger or bimini and a short-handed setup appear as less common owner additions. The well-insulated icebox and Frigiboat refrigeration are usually intact, while a cockpit shower or dinghy davits show up occasionally.
What to Inspect
A 1988 owner's Goiot roller furler developed excessive friction, so operate the furler and feel for binding. Several owners faulted the electrical panel's printed-circuit-board breakers and reported undersized, untinned wire with voltage drops, so test the panel and trace wire sizes. The wraparound skylight has leaked and outgassed adhesive; check the seal and headliner below for stains. Below ventilation was called inadequate by most owners except at the head—confirm hatch and port function. On shoal-wing keels the wings can foul a second anchor rode, so inspect the wing roots and bolted joints. One owner found stanchion bases undersized and the anchor locker cover compromised, worth a close look at the bow.

These yachts turn up in the United States, France, Netherlands, Denmark, Ireland, and Spain. Before you commit, walk through this short list:
- Survey the printed-circuit electrical panel and wire gauge.
- Check the wraparound skylight for leaks and adhesive smell.
- Test the roller furler for excessive friction.
- Inspect shoal-keel wing bolts and rode fouling.
- Verify stanchion base size and anchor locker cover condition.
- Confirm below ventilation paths except the head work.
