Beneteau 361 - Beneteau Sailboat Big Enough to Liveaboard? | ⛵ The Foster Journey

We're sailboat shopping! And this Beneteau 361 is beautiful, but is this Beneteau sailboat big enough to as a sailboat liveaboard?
I hope you enjoy this sailboat walkthrough, and what do you think? Would it be big enough to liveaboard? Would the Beneteau 361 be safe enough for the Bahamas? What if we wanted to head out into the deep bluewater? Please share your thoughts and questions in the comments below!

I love how you show the full sailboat tour without dragging it out. Great review

[@TheFosterJourney]

Thanks!

“It’s very livable, especially because I like cramped spaces”🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@thanksfornothing4603]

Ive been quietly watching your videos, and I love the new intro and music!

[@TheFosterJourney]

Thanks for watching and for joining the conversation today! ⛵😃

[@marta270693]

You might want to look at the displacement and capsize screening on this Beneteau. These two numbers can help you know how comfortable the sailboat will be at sea.

[@TheFosterJourney]

Thanks. Any ideas where I can find those numbers for Beneteau sailboats?

[@mimicf55]

Great video! The boat was very clean looking and seemed to have enough space for the family.

[@TheFosterJourney]

Hey Mom! Fancy to see you here ✔️ it is a great sailboat, for sure! Did you think Nancy was going to slip in the water?

[@RVAdventuresTV]

Love the tour... great looking boat!

[@TheFosterJourney]

Thanks ⛵👍

[@jordancarter5664]

Thanks for reviewing a Beneteau Sailboat! I think it's just the right size :)

[@TheFosterJourney]

Thanks for commenting Jordan! Have you sailed before?

[@jordancarter5664]

@@TheFosterJourney Just a little. I think mid to upper 30 footers are just the right size.

[@thomashurst2738]

We seriously considered the Beneteau 361 before spending a little more for the 393. Both are great sailboats!

[@TheFosterJourney]

Yeah, the Beneteau 393 looks good too ✔️

[@jordancarter5664]

I also love the 393! How secure are you in her in bluewater? Things like crossing the Caribbean or out to Bermuda?

[@williamwatt3445]

:38 Those seats are the best on a sailboat!

[@TheFosterJourney]

Hey William! Those seats are great! I think you meant 5:38 ?

[@starlfc]

We have a Beneteau 361 and love it.

[@TheFosterJourney]

So cool👍

[@jonunya3128]

looks well cared for.

[@renap20oppl]

Great video dude! Buy it.

[@TheFosterJourney]

Thanks!

[@paulouellette6881]

We have a 361 sister-ship...it's a great all=around boat...for the ICW (mast height 50 ft)...for the Keys & Bahamas, a 5 ft draft.

[@TheFosterJourney]

That's cool 👍. I (Matt) was impressed at her spacious feel. What do you love most about her?

[@paulouellette6881]

@@TheFosterJourney...The short answer is that the B361 is a lot of boat in a 36ft package. IMHO...it's about as well set up as a sailboat under 40ft could be. Big cockpit & big cockpit locker...big galley...big head...she sails very well & is beamy well aft (which makes for a lot more room inside). We love the sugar scoop stern (easy boarding...esp with the dog) & the wide deck-side walk-ways for safety. The 5ft draft...& the 50 ft air draft...make it ideal for the ICW...Bahamas...& squeaking into tight spots to anchor or dock. You won't regret buying her Matt. Cheers, P.

[@TheFosterJourney]

@@paulouellette6881 thanks, Paul. I really felt the same way on all those aspects of the Beneteau 361. ⛵👍

[@labronjnba5098]

Sometimes the best sailboats are simple and small.

[@TheFosterJourney]

That's true. Simplicity is nice.

[@jorgesailsoneday92]

That's the perfect boat for me! You think it would do well in the gulf?

[@TheFosterJourney]

We've taken it in 5-6 ft seas and it was smooth as butter 👍

[@rabus71]

Are you in Kemah, TX?

[@TheFosterJourney]

Yes we are.
