Marketing Description
The Beneteau Oceanis 311 was without a doubt one of the most popular craft ever to leave the Beneteau stable. Designed by Group Finot who were known for more performance yachts, the 311 is no slouch and will delight the more competitive yachtsman. This is a lifting keeled version giving a draft of 2.00M when fully lowered and a measly 0.80m when fully raised making her ideal for estuary exploring or moorings.
Below decks is clean and well presented. 2 double cabins and a further 2 berths in the saloon. Galley with full oven, top loading fridge and pressurised water.
