Tartuga is a proven, extensively updated Beneteau Oceanis 48, ready for her next cruising adventure. Having successfully completed the 2024 Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC) and cruised the Bahamas during the 2025–2026 season, she offers buyers a well-equipped cruising platform with many of the significant maintenance and upgrade items associated with a yacht of this size already addressed.
Major updates completed between 2024 and 2026 include:
- New North mainsail and genoa – 2024
- New wire standing rigging – 2024
- 560Ah lithium house battery bank – 2024
- B&G NAC-3 autopilot – 2024
- New/upgraded SD60 saildrive – 2025
- Major electrical system upgrade – 2025
- Upgraded Balmar high-output alternator – 2025
- New Simrad 12" multifunction chartplotter – 2026
- Fresh bottom paint – 2026
- Recent engine and saildrive service
Beyond these recent improvements, Tartuga is exceptionally well equipped for extended cruising. Her cruising inventory includes a 1,050W solar array mounted on a custom stainless-steel arch, Schenker watermaker, three-zone air conditioning, bow thruster, three electric Harken winches, electric windlass, AIS, Starlink, shoal-draft keel (6'), and a 2021 Highfield 340 aluminum RIB with 20 HP Tohatsu outboard.
Her desirable three-cabin, two-head owner's layout provides comfortable accommodations for a cruising couple, family, or guests while maintaining excellent storage and living space.
One of Tartuga's greatest advantages is that she is not simply equipped for extended cruising—she has actually done it. Her successful ARC crossing and subsequent Bahamas cruising demonstrate the boat's capability and the systems aboard her.
Privately owned and never chartered, with no known hurricane or material damage history, Tartuga has been actively maintained and substantially upgraded by her current owner. She is USCG documented, properly imported with CBP-7501 documentation, and available for immediate inspection at Safe Harbor Charleston City Marina.
