Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 361
Description
The Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 361 is a versatile aft-cockpit cruiser designed by Groupe Finot and built by Beneteau in France from 1999 to 2004. Marketed as an evolution of the Oceanis 36, it blends performance with family-friendly comfort, featuring a wide beam for stability and a bulb keel for easy handling in coastal waters. Over 500 units were produced, many as charter boats, making it a popular choice for weekend sailors or entry-level liveaboards. The "Clipper" designation often denotes a navy-blue hull and basic equipment package, but it's otherwise identical to the standard Oceanis 361.
