About the Oceanis 393 Beneteau

Beneteau's Oceanis 393 represents a thoughtful evolution in the French manufacturer's popular cruising sailboat lineup, designed to bridge the gap between comfortable coastal sailing and capable offshore passages. This mid-sized cruiser embodies Beneteau's philosophy of creating boats that welcome both novice sailors and experienced mariners seeking reliable performance without sacrificing comfort. Built with the quality construction standards that have made Beneteau a trusted name in production sailing, the Oceanis 393 features a modern hull design that balances stability with reasonable sailing performance. The boat's layout prioritizes livability for extended cruising, offering generous interior space that feels larger than her actual dimensions might suggest. Like other vessels in the Oceanis series, this model excels at coastal cruising and protected water sailing, while maintaining enough capability for occasional offshore ventures in favorable conditions. Her moderate displacement and well-balanced sail plan make her manageable for couples or small crews, particularly appealing to sailors transitioning from smaller boats or those seeking a comfortable platform for weekend getaways and vacation cruising. The 393 continues Beneteau's tradition of offering good value in the production cruiser market, combining practical sailing characteristics with the comfort features that make extended time aboard genuinely enjoyable.

About this estimate
  • Prices are based on recent asking prices from public listings — not actual sale prices, which are typically lower.
  • Condition is not factored in. A well-maintained boat with new sails and engine can be worth significantly more than a project boat of the same model.
  • Location affects price. Boats in landlocked states or areas with fewer buyers often sell for less than those on the coast.
  • Year of manufacture is not filtered. Older examples of this model will generally be priced lower than newer ones.
  • Included equipment varies widely. A boat with a full suite of electronics, dodger, and new standing rigging may command a large premium.
  • Outliers are automatically excluded using statistical filtering to improve accuracy, but some bad data may remain.
