Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 311 (1999)
Currently afloat on the River Dart

Set sail this summer aboard this thoughtfully upgraded Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 311—a proven cruising yacht with big-boat features in a highly manageable package. With her lifting keel (just 0.8m draft when raised), she’s equally at home navigating shallow estuaries and tucked-away harbours as she is crossing open waters. Whether you're chasing West Country sunsets, hopping over to France, or weekending with family, she’s ready to make those plans happen.

This is not a new boat—but it’s an honest, well-cared-for, and impressively upgraded example. With significant investments made in 2022–2024 (including full Raymarine nav suite, new rigging, and safety gear), this Clipper 311 is a stand out example. She presents very well and is ready for the season ahead.
