Set Sail in Style: Rent the Oceanis 37

“Pyxis” is a fine example of Beneteau’s world-class Oceanis line of cruising sailboats. Designed by the famed French firm, Finot Conq, the Beneteau 37 compromises neither interior volume nor performance. The result is a boat that is beautiful to look at, commodious, and yet a true performer.



Immediately noticeable are the lengthy and sharp hull lines—a definite nod to Finot Conq’s performance pedigree and not too dissimilar from their race winning IMOCA 60 designs. The cockpit is airy and spacious with plenty of room for skipper, crew, and guests. All of the running rigging is easily accessible and nicely streamlined for simplicity. The addition of lazy jacks and a stack-pack configuration makes setting and dousing the mainsail quick and easy. When at dock or anchor, a centrally located table can be folded out to convert the cockpit to a pleasant picnic area. Additionally, the leather-wrapped wheel is a nice touch that will definitely add to the skipper’s enjoyment.



The interior of the Beneteau Oceanis 37 is awesomely clean, modern and sleek! After stepping down into the cabin you find a reasonably sized galley to port and a well-designed nave station to starboard. Beyond the galley is a folding table large enough to accommodate a full crew dinner. Beyond that is a standard v-birth equipped with closet and drawers. Additional sleeping arrangements can be found in the well-sized quarter berth.
