'Zest' is a very good example of the sought-after Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 361, in the desirable Owner’s version (2-cabin layout). This configuration offers a spacious galley, ample storage, and a separate shower area in the heads. A comfortable cruising yacht, she can easily be sailed by a crew of two, with all lines led back to the cockpit. Key updates include a new electronics suite (2018), bow thruster (2018), standing rigging (2018), and new sails (2020). Additionally, a comprehensive solar charging system was added between 2022 and 2024, featuring portable, flexible panels.
Will she take you and your friends on your next adventure?
I look forward to hearing your opinion.

Broker comments
'Zest' is ready to embark on your next adventure. She’s a prime example of a well-maintained boat that has been thoughtfully upgraded. The saloon is a cleverly designed space, creating an inviting environment you’ll love to spend time in. She is a 2 cabin version, so perfect for couples or small families. The canopy and sprayhood ensure that the cockpit remains a comfortable space to enjoy year-round. Does it make sense to add her to your short list?
