The streamlined and elegant cruiser by Beneteau, Oceanis 34 is a welcomed breath of fresh air in this class. The vessel brings a lot of volumes and features smart-packed into a small and economic space. The deck layout on the Beneteau 34 offers easy egress over the coamings from the cockpit and wide decks and sure footing for sailors heading to the bow. The center of the aft seat lifts to permit easy access to the swim platform. A plastic basket of some sort can turn this into usable storage space with no raft abroad. Next to this area is a separate vented propane locker. This small vessel is ideally situated for couples or a small group of friends who wish to explore the coastline of Australia.
