Oceanis 38.1 sailboat – Split

Boat Overview

We’ve guided countless travelers along the Dalmatian coast, and the Oceanis 38.1 from 2019 is one of those rare sailboats that feels effortlessly premium from the first moment aboard. Based in Split, Croatia, this 11.5 m sailing yacht is designed for comfortable chartering and rental cruising—whether you’re planning a relaxed hop between islands or a more ambitious day at sea. We think the balance here is the secret: a confident sail plan, a welcoming cockpit, and a layout that suits both couples and small groups.

With three cabins, it accommodates six guests in cabins plus two additional berths, so our guests don’t have to compromise on comfort. Two toilets add a reassuring sense of space, especially during longer stays. Actually, we’ve noticed how quickly people settle in—perhaps because everything feels thoughtfully arranged, and the atmosphere stays calm even when the sea is lively.

From our experience, the onboard setup makes a difference. There’s air conditioning for warm afternoons, heating for cooler evenings, and a smart blend of navigation and communication essentials, including an autopilot and a GPS chart plotter in the cockpit. For life on board, you’ll appreciate practical touches such as a galley with oven and refrigerator, plus cockpit amenities that invite you to linger—cushions, a shower, and a table for unhurried meals. The bimini top and sprayhood add shade and protection when the sun decides to be bold!

We also recommend this boat for guests who value modern convenience without losing the romance of sailing. LCD TV, Wi‑Fi Internet, and underwater lights bring a gentle “wow” factor after sunset. In short—Oceanis 38.1 is a polished choice for a luxury editorial kind of sailing holiday in Split.
