48' 2018 Beneteau Oceanis 48

​2018 Beneteau Oceanis 48 - Ke Aloha

Ke Aloha has done the miles. A 2018 Beneteau Oceanis 48 that has cruised beyond the coast and come back ready for more, she offers the space, comfort, and ease of handling that makes Beneteau one of the most popular cruising platforms in the world. Three cabins, two heads, twin helms. Currently located at Sun Harbor Marina in San Diego.

On Deck

The twin-hel​m cockpit has teak benches and B&G instruments at both stations - wind, speed, and depth wherever you're standing. The electric transom drops to a wide swim platform with a stainless boarding ladder, making the water easy to get to whether you're anchored off Catalina or stern-tied in Mexico. A bow thruster, electric windlass, and anchor remote make handling in tight anchorages and mooring fields manageable for a short-handed crew.

Rig & Sails

Sloop rig with in-mast furling main and furling genoa. Stainless steel standing rigging. Four self-tailing winches.

Below

Six-foot-six headroom throughout - enough to move around without thinking about it. The forward owner's stateroom is unlike most boats in this size class - an island berth, two skylights, and a layout where the glass-enclosed shower and open vanity flow into the cabin itself, with the seperate head tucked privately behind its own door.

The starboard aft cabin serves as a proper VIP stateroom - queen berth, hanging locker, and a private door connecting directly to the shared head. The port aft cabin mirrors the layout without the head connection, but is equally well-appointed with its own queen berth and hanging locker.

The saloon is where people gather - U-shaped dinette to starboard, dedicated nav station, good natural light, and LED lighting throughout.

Galley​​​​

The galley runs to port with a gimbaled stove and oven, double stainless sinks, refrigerator, and separate freezer. Enough counter space and storage to cook a real meal on passage.

Electronics

The navigation setup is solid - Simrad chartplotter, B&G autopilot with instrument repeaters at both helms, AIS, and VHF. A Fusion stereo with Bluetooth handles the soundtrack.
