2001 Beneteau 361

Wruff Life is a well-maintained, lightly used 2001 Beneteau 361 that has spent her life seasonally cruising the Chesapeake Bay. Known as one of Beneteau’s most successful cruising models, the 361 delivers impressive interior volume, and her 2-cabin, 1-head layout feels notably larger than most boats in this class.

With just 450 engine hours, simple systems, and an easy-to-manage sail plan, she’s an ideal fit for cruising couples, young families, or anyone seeking a dependable, user-friendly sailboat without stretching the budget.

Highlights include:

• Yanmar diesel with only 450 hours
• Furling mainsail and jib, plus new asymmetrical spinnaker with sock
• Dodger, Bimini (new in 2024), and full screened enclosure that has never been used
• Kato dinghy davits
• Recent bottom paint
• Spacious galley with ample counter space, storage, refrigeration, and top-loading freezer
• Comfortable cockpit with walkthrough transom for easy boarding
• Large head with separate shower
• Electric anchor windlass
