Beneteau Oceanis 370 Buyer's Guide
Shopping a used Beneteau Oceanis 370 means looking at a Philippe Briand design from the late eighties that Beneteau built as part of the second Oceanis generation. She’s a 35-foot-plus cruiser with a solid fiberglass hull, an iron-ballasted keel, and a Volvo Penta inboard diesel, offered in both deep- and wing-keel versions. For a buyer, the appeal is a roomy, comfort-led coastal cruiser with simple systems and broad parts availability.
Layouts on the Used Market
The Oceanis 370 came from the factory with a beamy hull—about 12.4 feet wide—and a three-cabin or two-cabin interior arrangement that prioritizes volume over minimalist racing weight. Her solid fiberglass deck and hull need no special cored-structure worries below the waterline, though the deck is a traditional solid laminate. Keel choice matters most to a buyer: the deep keel draws just over five feet, while the wing keel sits closer to four feet and opens up shallow harbors. Either way, the boat carries 48 gallons of water and 24 gallons of diesel, enough for weekend and longer coastal use.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Most boats on the brokerage market will already carry the systems that make her easy to handle: a chartplotter, bimini, dodger, autopilot, roller furling main, solar panels, and radar are commonly fitted. Often-seen additions include cabin heating, a swim platform, dinghy davits, a cockpit shower, and hot water. Buyers should note that air conditioning and teak decks are less common, usually added by an owner rather than the factory. The roller-furling main and inboard Volvo Penta remain the core rig and propulsion items to verify.
What to Inspect
The Oceanis 370’s known structural facts center on her keel attachment and hull integrity. Beneteau built the boat with different keel alternatives, both in iron, and the deep-keel version draws about 5.1 to 5.4 feet while the wing keel draws 4.1 to 4.4 feet depending on load anchor. Because the keel is iron, inspect for corrosion at the hull joint and any signs of grounding damage, as a compromised bond can threaten keel security. The solid fiberglass hull should be checked for osmotic blistering. Verify the Volvo Penta inboard engine starts cleanly and that the roller-furling mechanism operates without jamming.
Availability and Buyer’s Takeaway
The Oceanis 370 appears across several established cruising regions: the United States, Netherlands, Australia, Greece, France, and Spain. For a buyer, the checklist is short and practical:
- Confirm keel type and inspect iron keel for corrosion or impact damage
- Check solid fiberglass hull for blistering and structural soundness
- Verify roller furling main and Volvo Penta diesel operation
- Note which comforts are factory-common versus owner-added (heating, A/C, teak)
- Match keel draft to your intended cruising grounds
