Overview
This boat is the ideal family cruiser, with 4 generous cabins, each featuring its own private head, plus an extra v-berth. Her deck is spacious, and galley and living area well-suited to large groups as well.This 1989 Beneteau Oceanis 500 was only used in charter for 5 years, then completely refit and sailed in Caribbean until 2000. She was sailed seasonally in fresh water after that for 16 years. She has been professionally maintained, with extensive records. Her 4 cabin layout sleeps 10 easily in 4 double-berth staterooms with separate bunk beds in the bow. She is a strong, comfortable family boat. Her keel and keel bolts are in superb condition.
