Step aboard this meticulously maintained Beneteau 393 in Panama and you’ll find a bright, inviting interior that feels much larger than her size suggests. Situated in the safe harbor of Shelter Bay in Panama, at the opening of the Canal, with ease of going East to the lovely atolls and clear warm water of the Caribbean or cross the historic Panama Canal into the Pacific.
Natural light pours in through multiple hatches and ports, giving the saloon an open, airy feel. To starboard, a comfortable U-shaped settee wraps around a dining table, while a straight settee opposite provides extra seating or a perfect lounging spot.
The forward owner’s cabin offers a generous double berth with good storage and private access to the forward head and shower. Two roomy aft cabins provide comfortable double berths with excellent ventilation, ideal for guests or family. A second head aft adds convenience for life aboard.
The galley is thoughtfully laid out with plenty of counter space, double stainless sinks, a gimbaled stove/oven, and a large fridge, making meal prep easy whether at anchor or under way.
Altogether, the Beneteau 393 strikes a great balance—comfortable and homely enough for extended cruising, yet practical and well laid out for sailing.
Notable Features & UpgradesThis Beneteau 393 isn’t just a comfortable cruiser — she’s been thoughtfully upgraded for modern, off-grid sailing. A solar array paired with lithium batteries and a full suite of Victron energy components provides reliable, efficient power management. A watermaker means you can extend your time away from the dock with confidence, while newer rigging adds peace of mind under sail.
Altogether, these upgrades make her a standout example of the 393 — not only well-designed and comfortable, but also ready to support independent cruising with all the essentials in place.
