2006 Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 393, 89 950 EUR

2006 Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 393 - Cely

Well-equipped, extensively upgraded liveaboard cruising yacht

Cely is a 2006 Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 393 that has been owned by her current owner since June 2021. During that time, she has served as a comfortable family liveaboard and proven long-distance cruising yacht, carrying a family of four through France, Portugal, Gibraltar, Morocco, the Balearic Islands, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Montenegro, Albania and Croatia.

Strong, fast and steady, Cely has benefited from an extensive programme of maintenance and upgrading under her current ownership. Significant work has included replacement standing and running rigging, a replacement boom, upgraded sails and furling equipment, a removable inner forestay, a comprehensive Victron electrical installation, a 1,050W solar array, a 400Ah lithium house bank, a solar arch with davit lines, AIS, custom cabinetry and substantial keel work.

She is now offered for sale only because her owners are moving to a larger yacht to provide more space for their teenage children. Cely presents an appealing opportunity for buyers seeking a capable, well-travelled cruising yacht equipped for extended passages and life aboard.


Engine and Propulsion

Cely is powered by a Yanmar 4JH4E 54hp diesel engine, showing approximately 2,318 engine hours.

Interior and Accommodation Improvements

Cely has been used successfully as a full-time family liveaboard. Improvements intended to increase practicality and usable storage include:

Forward heads compartment removed and converted into a dedicated storage space in 2023.

The Eberspächer diesel heater was serviced in 2025. It is currently unplugged while awaiting installation of a replacement exhaust hose. The new exhaust hose is already aboard the yacht.

Prospective purchasers should note that, following the 2023 conversion, the former forward heads compartment is now used for storage rather than as a functioning heads compartment.

Hull and Keel

Significant keel work was undertaken in 2024:

Keel dropped.

Keel re-bonded.

Broker’s Summary

Cely is a comprehensively equipped Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 393 with a documented history of active family cruising under her current ownership. Her recent upgrades address many of the areas most important to serious cruising buyers: rigging, sail handling, electrical independence, lithium battery storage, solar generation, communications, safety equipment, heating, stowage and keel maintenance.

Her 54hp Yanmar engine has been maintained according to annual or engine-hour intervals, whichever came first, with regular attention also given to the cooling and exhaust systems. The extensive Victron installation, 1,050W solar array and 400Ah lithium house bank should be particularly attractive to buyers planning extended periods away from shore power.

The conversion of the forward heads into additional storage reflects the yacht’s practical use as a long-term liveaboard. Buyers should note that she consequently has one functioning heads compartment, equipped with an electric toilet. The diesel heater requires reconnection after the replacement exhaust hose—already aboard—has been installed.

Having safely carried her owners and their two children across a wide area of the Mediterranean and Atlantic-facing Europe and North Africa, Cely is ready to begin the next stage of her cruising life with new owners.
