The professional's opinion

This Oceanis 331 Clipper presents a particularly coherent setup for cruising, with several recently updated components: standing rigging in 2022, AIS and galvanic isolator in 2023, batteries, dodger and bimini in 2025, genoa in 2026. I also appreciate its overall equipment, including solar panels, substantial anchoring gear, and the dinghy with engine. It is a unit that offers a good balance between onboard comfort, autonomy, and reasonable size.

With its 2 cabins, 4 berths, a draft of 1.60 m, and cruising-oriented equipment, it is suitable both for a couple and a small family wishing to sail regularly.

With a beam of 3.42 m, this Oceanis 331 Clipper offers a pleasant interior, including a shower room with a shower, a 150-liter 12 V refrigerator, an Eno gas stove, hot water via engine and 220 V, as well as a 200-liter freshwater tank.

The engine is a Volvo Penta 27 HP diesel with currently 2,999 hours (and counting). The boat has a fuel capacity of 70 liters. Several recent interventions are also noted, including timing belt and clutch kit in 2025.

Electronics include a Furuno GP1650 GPS, a Raytheon ST4000+ autopilot, B&G instruments for depth, sounder, anemometer, and wind vane, as well as a 2023 Nomad AIS transponder-receiver and a portable AD Nautic VHF.

The exterior equipment is particularly comprehensive with an electric windlass, a main Delta 16 kg anchor with 50 meters of chain and rode, a secondary anchor, a teak cockpit, a cockpit table, a 2025 cockpit cover, and also a 2025 bimini.

The boat also features an Ocean EPIRB beacon from 2023, a 4-person offshore life raft to be serviced, coastal safety equipment, LED interior and cockpit lighting, and an electric bilge pump.

Electrical autonomy is enhanced by two 100 W solar panels, three 50 Ah service batteries from 2025, a battery charger, and a galvanic isolator from 2023.

As for sails, the boat is equipped with a semi-latticed genoa on a furling system, a 2026 furling jib, a lazy bag, and a rigid boom vang. The standing rigging dates from 2022, which is a noteworthy point for a sailboat of this generation.

An Plastimo dinghy accompanied by a Mercury 3.5 HP 2-stroke outboard motor is also included in the equipment.

This used Beneteau Oceanis 331 Clipper can therefore be especially suitable for boaters looking for a well-equipped cruising sailboat, with several recent renewals on important components.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a galvanic isolator used for on a sailboat?

It helps to limit certain galvanic corrosion phenomena when the boat is connected to the port's power grid.

Why can a 10-meter Oceanis 331 be a good compromise compared to a larger sailboat?

It allows for genuine cruising spaces while remaining on a vessel that is simpler to handle, operate, and maintain than a 12 or 13-meter boat.

Does the boat have a dinghy with an engine?

Oui. Il est vendu avec une annexe Plastimo ainsi qu’un moteur hors-bord Mercury 3,5 CV deux temps.
