'Opus', our Beneteau Oceanis 393

'Opus' comes with manuals for all major systems and equipment as well as receipts for all major purchases for the last 15 years or so. 'Opus' is registered in Canada and as such the European VAT has not been paid.

'Opus' is a Category A rated vessel for up to 8 passengers and is fully equipped for long voyages including hydraulic autopilot, extensive storage capacity, a watermaker, fridge, deep ice box and all lines running back to the cockpit.

When under motor power the 55hp Yanmar can push the boat up to 7.5 knots but when motoring we almost always cruise at 2,000rpm which makes 5 knots while consuming 3 litres of diesel per hour.

Anti-fouling paint and new zincs in November 2022. No delamination or blistering was discovered.

Location

'Opus' is currently sailing through Guadeloupe and Antigua and will be heading back to Grenada in Mid-June 2023. As such it is viewable via video call or wherever we currently are cruising.

She can be delivered to anywhere in the Windward islands if a purchase agreement can be settled before mid-June. Please contact us if you are interested in viewing 'Opus' and/or making an offer.
