Are you ready to take the helm of a vessel that’s both a versatile commercial asset and a stunning leisure cruiser? Meet Victory, a 2000-model Beneteau Oceanis 361 with an impressive 2-cabin layout. Currently in 2D/2C Survey, this meticulously maintained yacht is equipped for both training and leisure, offering unparalleled versatility and performance. Here’s why Victory is a unique opportunity you won’t want to miss.
Commercial Versatility
Victory is in 2D Survey for 10 students and 2 crew, making her ideal for sail training operations. She can also comply with 2C Survey (restricted to sail training and inshore waters) for 10 students and 2 crew, operating within 15 nautical miles off the Australian coast. Whether you’re looking to expand your maritime training offerings and tourism, starting a new venture, or would just like to cruise onboard a fabulous boat, Victory is ready to set sail. (Also in 2C survey with an addition of a liferaft).
A Rare and Beautiful Cruiser
As a 2-cabin Beneteau Oceanis 361, Victory stands out for her thoughtful design and excellent condition. The absence of a third cabin allows for a more spacious layout, including additional refrigeration, a freezer, a microwave, and extra storage. The result? A yacht that’s both practical and luxurious and a huge amount of storage space. If you’ve cruised for more than a day you’ll understand how important this is!
Kept on a commercial mooring in Twofold Bay, Eden (transferable upon sale), Victory is a dry and reliable vessel, even during torrential rain. Her light and airy interior features two large double berths, a generous bathroom with a large shower, and a well-equipped galley. Upholstery and timberwork are in excellent condition, showcasing the care she’s received over the years.

She’s equipped for short-handed sailing, with all lines led aft and an electric winch for effortless operation.
For those interested in cruising, Victory offers an impressive sail inventory, including a main sail, furling genoa, spinnaker, storm jib, and trysail. Her efficient design and robust build ensure she’s as reliable offshore as she is inshore.
Additional Perks
If sold as a commercial vessel, Victory comes equipped with a New Zealand-built True Kit 3.3m catamaran RIB in commercial survey. Alternatively, she can be sold privately with a 10-ft tinny and 2.5 HP outboard. Her mooring in Twofold Bay is available for transfer (for a commercial operation), making ownership even more convenient.
Why Victory?
Few vessels combine commercial capabilities with the comfort and charm of a Beneteau cruiser. Whether you’re a maritime trainer, a charter operator, or a leisure sailor, Victory offers unmatched value. Her versatility, excellent condition, and comprehensive equipment make her a rare find on the market.
