A lot of cruising room for the money
The Oceanis 373 is a roomy Berret-Racoupeau cruising sloop with two- or three-cabin layouts and deep or shoal cast-iron keel options. A practical coastal cruiser for family holidays rather than a purpose-built heavy-weather expedition boat.
Spacious interior, practical cockpit, established Beneteau production-boat support, and factory keel options.
Inspect the cast-iron keel and joint, bonded hull structural grid, moisture in the balsa-cored deck, standing rigging, wheel-steering cables and signs of hard charter use. Verify the specific keel and rig.

What the magazines say
- In a June 2004 Practical Boat Owner test, the Oceanis 373 was praised for interior space and strong performance under power, but the tester found the smaller Oceanis 323 the more engaging sailing boat. The test boat carried the 1.90 m deep fin keel; an optional 1.55 m shallow fin was offered. Two-cabin and three-cabin interiors were available, with the latter trading away space in the heads, galley and navigation area. Read source
