Beneteau Oceanis 352
Description
The Beneteau Oceanis 352 is a classic aft-cockpit cruiser designed by Jean Berret and built by Beneteau in France from 1994 to 1999. As an early entry in the Oceanis line, it prioritizes family comfort and coastal cruising with a wide beam for stability and a bulb keel for forgiving handling. Approximately 100 units were produced, many finding homes in charter fleets or as starter bluewater boats. Owners appreciate its spacious interior relative to its size and lively performance in light airs, though it's noted for moderate upwind ability in heavier winds—ideal for Mediterranean or protected U.S. East Coast waters. Variants include a deeper keel (5.9 ft draft) for better pointing and 2- or 3-cabin layouts.
