Bénéteau Oceanis 38.1 – Delfino – Cat & Go La Rochelle

Sailing Yacht Charter in La Rochelle: the Oceanis 38.1, the ideal monohull to sail in complete freedom

Chartering a sailing yacht in La Rochelle is an invitation to discovery, relaxation, and the pure pleasure of sailing. The Bénéteau Oceanis 38.1 Delfino embodies this spirit perfectly, combining comfort, performance, and ease of handling.

At 11.5 metres in length, this Bénéteau-designed monohull offers an ideal balance between generous living space and authentic sensations at sea. She will appeal equally to experienced sailors and to crews looking to enjoy a peaceful cruise to the islands of Île de Ré, Île d’Aix, or Oléron.

Comfort and conviviality on board

The Oceanis 38.1 was designed to deliver a smooth, enjoyable experience — whether at anchor or under sail.
Her spacious cockpit, featuring twin steering wheels, makes manoeuvres effortless and allows for relaxed sailing, even with a reduced crew.

Below deck, the three cabins, large convertible saloon table, and fully equipped galley create a true cruising atmosphere. Up to 8 guests can be accommodated on board, for a stay combining space, natural light, and conviviality.

On deck, the bimini, sprayhood, and deck shower ensure optimal comfort, while the 12V refrigeration, oven, Fusion Bluetooth radio, and exterior speakers provide a high standard of equipment on board.

Performance and safety at sea

Under sail, Delfino showcases the full extent of Bénéteau’s expertise.
Her modern hull design, 2.08 m draft, and well-balanced sail plan (fully battened mainsail and furling genoa, both new in 2025) deliver excellent performance, even in stronger winds.

Meanwhile, the bow thruster, autopilot, Garmin GPS chartplotter, and navigation instruments — AIS, log, anemometer, and depth sounder — ensure precise and safe manoeuvring at all times.

Her coastal and semi-offshore safety equipment allows you to cruise with complete peace of mind with up to 8 persons on board.
A professional skipper may also be arranged upon request directly through Cat & Go.

Please note: this yacht is not available for racing or regattas.
