Description
The Beneteau Oceanis 311 is a well-regarded 31-foot cruising sailboat designed by renowned French naval architect Jean-Marie Finot and built by Beneteau USA between 1997 and 2003. Known for its smart use of space, balanced sailing performance, and comfortable interior layout, the Oceanis 311 has become a popular choice among sailors looking for a versatile coastal cruiser that is easy to handle while still offering generous accommodations.
The wide beam carried well aft creates a spacious cockpit and allows for a surprisingly large interior for a boat of this size. The layout typically features 2 private cabins, a large main salon with opposing settees, a functional L-shaped galley, a dedicated navigation station, and an enclosed head with a shower. 6'2"of headroom, the Oceanis 311 offers comfortable standing space rarely found in many boats in the 30-foot range.
Above deck, the Oceanis 311 features a fractional rig, wheel steering, and an ergonomic cockpit designed for both sailing and relaxation. The signature sugar-scoop transom with integrated swim platform provides easy water access, making the boat well-suited for cruising, swimming, and dinghy use. Did you know that Beneteau was the first production builder to incorporate the sugar scoop transom in the 1980s?
Combining modern cruising amenities with efficient sailing performance, the Beneteau Oceanis 311 remains a highly sought-after model for sailors seeking a capable, easy-to-handle cruiser ideal for coastal passages, weekend sailing, and extended cruising adventures.
