Description

Remarks :Storm King stands out as a thoughtfully specified and very well equipped Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 381, set up by her current owner for comfortable distance cruising and self sufficiency aboard. She benefits from a wealth of practical upgrades including a bow thruster, Webasto diesel heating, Victron battery management, and modern Garmin navigation equipment both at the binnacle and chart table. Above deck, she combines a strong sail plan with battened main and furling genoa, new sacrificial strip, and quality Lewmar winches, while her spacious cockpit features a folding table, stainless wheel and easy walk through transom to the sugar scoop stern. Below, her warm and welcoming interior offers a large saloon with U-shaped and sofa seating, practical L-shaped galley with extra fridge and worktop space, two generous cabins, two heads compartments, and ample storage for longer trips. All this is backed up by a very pragmatic maintenance history, including engine upgrades, keel rebedding, and new canvas work. Storm King really is a capable, comfortable cruising yacht that is ready to go, equally at home exploring local waters or further afield a lovely example with a spec that is hard to match in her class.
