Owner Experience Review
Owners gravitate to the 393fromBeneteaufor family coastal cruising and weekend runs, and many highlight its comfort for living aboard. The interior feels spacious for a 39' boat, with good headroom and a bright saloon helped by forward‑facing windows; common layouts are two cabins or three, and many examples carry two heads. Storage is widely praised as “massive,” and the general ergonomics suit couples and families as well as charter crews—one owner even summed it up simply: “It’s a terrific boat.” Note that reported production years vary by source, which can complicate model‑year research.
Underway, the 393is consistently described as a predictable, “stiff” cruising hull that’s comfortable off‑wind and capable of passagemaking. The deep‑fin version is preferred by many for better tracking and less leeway when beating, but this is not a racer; owners typically reef early to keep heavy weather helm in check. As on any used example, due diligence matters: repeated owner and survey notes call for close inspection of the internal fiberglass grid for delamination (especially after hard groundings), attention to the keel‑to‑hull joint and keel bolts, and checks for rudder bearing play. Typical Yanmar/Westerbeke installs merit inspection of the exhaust elbow and heat exchanger, alongside routine service and batteries.
Pros and Cons
- Spacious, well‑lit interior with good headroom; two‑ or three‑cabin layouts with two heads suit families and liveaboards.
- Predictable, stiff cruising hull that is comfortable off‑wind and capable of passagemaking.
- Deep‑fin version tracks better upwind and three‑cabin variants are proven in charter fleets.
- Not a racer, and owners advise reefing early to keep heavy weather helm in check.
- Inspect the internal fiberglass grid for delamination, especially after hard groundings, as serious issues have been reported.
- Keel‑to‑hull joint, keel bolts, rudder bearings, and engine exhaust elbow/heat exchanger require careful survey attention on older boats.
