Sea Spice Is For Sale! $59,000 USD
SOLD!
This Beneteau 393 Oceanis (2002) has the popular 3 cabin layout with twin heads. Roller furling foresail and a fully battened main into a bag system with all lines led back to cockpit for ease of use.
Key features that make Sea Spice the best:
Family boat
- the price is right :) you can get cruising sooner while your kids (or yourself!) are still young enough to enjoy it
- family members have their own space, if they need some quiet time
- comfortable cockpit for lounging, eating and play
- easy boarding from your dinghy, on the wide swim grid
- lots of storage under the floorboards, settee, beds
- it's just the right size: not too big to tidy and maintain but still spacious enough to still enjoy each others company
Sailing adventure boat
- she has a shallow draft (5.08’/1.53m), so you can find the calmest, closest to shore anchorages (almost like a catamaran!)
- she can be single-handedly sailed, with ease
- maneuvers well when docking and anchoring
- she has a good strong anchor (66lb/30KG), so you can all relax knowing you won’t drag anchor during the night
- she is a tried and true passage-maker!
Bang for your buck
- she is just the perfect length to keep life simple and marina stays/insurance cheap
- she comes ready with up to date safety equipment (Plastimo TransOcean 6 life raft, flare kit, life jackets, AIS etc)
- Sea Spice comes ready with a well balanced power system; enough battery to bring you through the night and enough solar to keep your electronics charged through the day (and your fridge nice and cold), while still maintaining healthy house batteries
- she is easy on fuel, with an efficient engine (she uses 2.2L diesel per hour @ 5.5 kn)

We are trying to sell our boat privately at the moment. By doing this, we can keep our price down as none of it needs to go to a broker. We have done our market research and have priced this vessel fairly and with a mind to sell it quickly.
Feel free to contact us at: francesvantol@gmail.com
We will get a phone number once we are in the US.
We are currently sailing through the Bahamas and can meet interested parties in Nassau, or else, later in Southern Florida.
Please, please, please share with your friends that you know of that you think might be interested. This is such a sweet and solid boat and we would love to see her go to a great couple/family. Could it be you? Or someone you know? Share the love! and we thank you in advance!
