NEW PRICE – Exceptional Value at $179,000

2016 Beneteau Oceanis 38 "New Latitude"

LLC Owned • Turn-Key • Meticulously Maintained • San Diego

If you've been searching for a Beneteau Oceanis 38 for sale under $180,000, New Latitude deserves to be at the top of your list.

Recently reduced to $179,000, this beautifully maintained 2016 Beneteau Oceanis 38 represents one of the strongest values on today's market. Combining modern styling, outstanding sailing performance, and exceptional owner care, she offers an opportunity that's becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Designed by Finot-Conq, the Oceanis 38 has earned a reputation as one of Beneteau's most successful cruising sailboats thanks to her spacious interior, responsive sailing characteristics, twin helm cockpit, and easy short-handed operation. Whether you're planning weekend escapes to Catalina Island, exploring the California coast, or preparing for extended cruising, New Latitude is ready to go.

Why This Oceanis 38 Stands Out

Unlike many comparable boats, New Latitude has been consistently maintained with preventive care rather than deferred maintenance. Every system has been serviced with reliability and long-term ownership in mind, giving her next owner confidence from day one.

Recent Maintenance & Upgrades

• Yanmar diesel engine professionally serviced
• Saildrive lubrication service completed
• New AGM house and engine batteries
• Fresh bottom paint
• New zinc anodes
• Hull professionally ceramic coated
• Buffed and waxed
• Detailed maintenance records available
• Ready for immediate cruising

This level of maintenance significantly reduces the expense and downtime many buyers encounter after purchasing a pre-owned cruising sailboat.

Designed for Comfortable Cruising

The Beneteau Oceanis 38 continues to be one of the most desirable modern cruising sailboats because of its:

• Spacious, light-filled interior
• Large owner's cabin
• Comfortable guest accommodations
• Twin helm steering
• Excellent cockpit for entertaining
• Easy sail handling
• Proven coastal and offshore capability

Whether you're upgrading from a smaller sailboat or purchasing your first cruising yacht, the Oceanis 38 offers an ideal balance of comfort, performance, and value.

Leilani's Perspective

What impresses me most about New Latitude isn't just her condition—it's the pride of ownership behind every detail. It's immediately evident that this yacht has been thoughtfully maintained and cared for with consistency, not just prepared for sale. Buyers looking for a truly turn-key Beneteau will appreciate the documented maintenance, recent mechanical service, and the confidence that comes with purchasing a yacht that's ready to enjoy from the moment you step aboard.

With her new asking price of $179,000, New Latitude stands out as one of the best opportunities currently available for anyone searching for a Beneteau Oceanis 38, a modern cruising sailboat under $180,000, or a well-maintained coastal cruiser in Southern California.
