**Owner’s Version · Privately Owned · Never Chartered · Extensively Upgraded**
ZEN is a privately owned and never-chartered 2017 Beneteau Oceanis 55 Owner’s Version, comprehensively equipped for comfortable Mediterranean cruising and extended periods away from marinas.
Her sought-after three-cabin layout provides a full-width owner’s suite forward and two double guest cabins aft, together with a separate crew cabin and heads. The spacious saloon, well-equipped galley and generous cockpit make her equally suited to family cruising, entertaining and extended life aboard.
ZEN has benefited from significant investment between 2023 and 2026. Her cruising inventory includes a Fisher Panda 10kVA generator, 150-litre-per-hour watermaker, 660W solar array, Victron inverter system and 60,000 BTU reverse-cycle air conditioning. Together, these systems provide excellent onboard independence in power, water production and climate control.
Handling is made considerably easier by Beneteau’s Dock & Go manoeuvring system, a Side-Power bow thruster, electric Harken winches and twin helm stations. Her sail plan comprises a slab-reefing mainsail and furling genoa, supported by an extensive B&G navigation suite with radar, AIS and four Zeus2 displays across the helm stations.
Recent upgrades and maintenance include:
- 660W solar installation and solar arch
- Victron inverter and MPPT regulation
- CRISTEC battery-management equipment and chargers
- New sprayhood, bimini and cockpit enclosure
- Port and starboard cockpit sunshades
- New Lewmar windlass motor, display and chain counter
- New Zodiac aluminium-hull tender and Mercury outboard
- New Dock & Go joystick and Yanmar remote display
- Continued machinery, sail and cruising-system maintenance through 2026
ZEN is offered with an extensive cruising inventory and represents a particularly well-equipped example of the Oceanis 55 Owner’s Version.
She is currently in Athens, Greece, and remains available for inspection by appointment ahead of her planned October haul-out. Live video viewings can also be arranged.

Equally impressive is Zen's capability for extended independent cruising.
