Accommodations

The two-cabin layout of the Beneteau 361 combines thoughtful design with cruising comfort. The interior features high-quality woodwork and generous (6'4”) headroom. The space features two spacious cabins, a large head, a U-shaped galley, versatile dining and sleeping areas, and ample ventilation.

The forward cabin has a large V-berth (approximately 6′ 7″ x 5′ 4″), surrounded by hull-shelf storage, a starboard hanging locker, and twin reading lights. Ventilation is supplied through two opening ports and a Lewmar hatch above.

The salon features a U-shaped settee to starboard, accompanied by a dining table. The dining table can be lowered to transform the area into an extra berth. On the port side, there's a straight settee. Storage options include under-seat compartments, overhead lockers, and a bar locker situated behind the starboard settee. Large coach roof windows and a deck hatch supply natural light and ventilation.

The C-shaped galley is located on the port side, forward of the companionway. It offers ample counter space, a stainless-steel double sink, a two-burner propane stove, a dedicated microwave shelf, and plenty of refrigerated storage (front-loading fridge and icebox). Louvered door lockers and a cutting board cover for the sink complete the setup. Ventilation is provided via a hatch and a porthole above the stove.

The forward-facing navigation station is next to the galley. It has a seat below, a chart table, an electric panel, and space for instruments.

The head is surprisingly spacious, offering full standing headroom and a separate shower stall with a teak seat and electric sump pump. It contains a toilet, a washbasin with a mixer tap, and a mirror. Ventilation is supplied through an opening port.

The aft owner's cabin spans the boat's beam, housing a full-width double berth (~6′ 7″ x 4′ 9″), a starboard-hanging locker, hull-side shelf, fixed hull port, and an opening port.
