2006 Beneteau 373

If you're in the market for a cruiser that doesn't trade comfort for performance, you need to consider this Beneteau. Plane Medicine feels like a much larger boat both inside and out, making it a perfect fit for those looking for a "big boat" under 40'. Tank volumes have increased by over 20% from earlier models, extending the 373's powering range to well over 300 miles and providing extra water capacity for passage making or cruising remote areas. The large cockpit makes spending time at sea comfortable and nice equipment at the helm - including a multifunctional chart plotter with integrated AIS and radar - keep you safe and prepared.

Plane Medicine is being sold by her third owner who has spent many hours at the helm, mostly navigating the waters of the Chesapeake Bay. He's ready to hang up his VHF and move onto other pursuits and is proud to deliver this solid, proven vessel to her next owner to carry on the adventure.

Below deck, you’ll find a warm, bright, and inviting interior with plenty of space to stretch out, and the perfect set-up for a couple looking to do some extended cruising. The L-shaped galley is to port and the forward-facing nav station and spacious head to starboard. Ahead is an open and inviting main salon that takes advantage of Plane Medicine’s 12’4” beam. There’s a large U-shaped settee to port that offers a great space for dining and lots of useable storage beneath. The settee to starboard creates a fantastic conversation pit and is a great spot to stretch out with a book. No matter the season, you’ll stay comfortable with the reverse-cycle air conditioning and heat. The large panoramic overhead fixed ports keep the space bright and the Lewmar opening hatch and two opening ports keep it airy. The salon floor of the Beneteau 373 is pressurized laminate which is extremely durable and nearly every floorboard is removable, allowing for excellent access to the bilge, plumbing & thru-hulls.

A spacious double berth in the aft cabin sleeps two adults comfortably. With an overhead opening hatch and an opening port, the cabin gets good light and ventilation with the addition of a 12V fan. A large hanging locker to port and an additional locker allows you to stow all necessities away and keep the cabin organized. Two reading lights let you tuck in with a book (or those charts to plan the next day's adventure) before dozing off. There is an access panel behind the companionway steps for easy access to the back of the engine.

The forward berth also has two LED reading lights and a large opening hatch overhead.

A gourmet galley set to port features a front-loading fridge and separate top-loading freezer which is an absolute necessity when you're spending more than a weekend aboard. With the flick of a switch, the refrigeration cuts its drawdown to 2 amps, so you don't need to worry about draining the batteries while at anchor. A deep double stainless-steel sink, two-burner stove, and ample countertop space is everything you need to prepare an elaborate meal for guests or whip up a quick sandwich underway. With deep storage cabinets above and below the countertop, the Beneteau 373 has plenty of places to store cookware and food for an extended sailing adventure.

The head of the Beneteau 373 is extremely spacious for a 37' boat. Located to starboard of the companionway, it's nicely tucked behind the nav station and doesn't impede on the living spaces of the interior. The separate shower compartment with a teak seat and hand-held flexible shower head make freshening up easy, even while underway. There are plenty of storage options for your toiletries and hooks to hang towels or wet clothing. The Jabsco head has an optional macerator with a 12-gallon holding tank. There is an opening port for ventilation.

Since the cockpit is where you spend the majority of the time onboard, it needs to be comfortable, functional, and convenient. The cockpit space in this Beneteau 373 is huge, thanks to the beamy 12'4" stern and seats 8 adults comfortably. The pivoting patented wheel slides out of the way while not in use for even more room, and the folding teak cockpit table and plenty of drink holders are nice accents to an evening of entertaining. There is fantastic access to the swim platform through the tilting helmsman's seat, making it easy to board the dinghy or take a dip in the water. While you're back there, take advantage of the hot/cold cockpit shower to rinse off after a swim.

Everything you need to sail the boat, single-handed or with crew is right at your fingertips without leaving the cockpit. The Garmin 7" touchscreen chart plotter is loaded with US & Caribbean charts, ready to guide you wherever the wind will take you. The Garmin 48 mile radar and AIS will make sure you get there safely. Raymarine 6000 Autopilot, wind, depth, and speed gauges are all right at the helm as well.

All lines are led aft to the primary (2) Lewmar 30ST's on the cabin top, and the (2) Lewmar 44ST genoa winches are placed far aft within easy reach from behind the helm and out of the way of guest seating. No more asking people to move when you need to tack! Strategically placed winch holders and line ties keep everything within reach and organized.

Safety is always a top priority and Beneteau has designed the cockpit with that in mind. The stainless-steel bow and stern pulpits are connected with 24" tall stanchions and double stainless lifelines. Grab rails on either side of the coachroof are strategically placed, along with non-skid and wooden grab rails surrounding the companionway steps. In case you do take a wave over the bow, the self-bailing anchor well and self-bailing cockpit along with a perforated aluminum toe rail, allows the water to drain quickly.
