Beneteau Oceanis 55 "DIC" (2017) — A Genuinely Custom-Built Example, Sold Turn-Key
Location: France near Cannes
Few Oceanis 55s on the market today were built to this level of specification. DIC left the yard in 2017 already set apart by an extensive custom-build programme, and she has remained in private hands ever since — never chartered, sailed only occasionally, and maintained and serviced professionally throughout her life.
The centrepiece of her custom specification is a completely reworked owner's suite: instead of the standard central double, DIC offers two separate single berths together with a separate shower compartment and a separate WC — a configuration built entirely to individual drawing and rarely seen on this model. On deck, a semi-hardtop bimini and a carbon davit for the tender were added at build, alongside a fully electric in-boom furling boom and electric winches (Harken H60.2 on the genoa, H46.2 for manoeuvring) that make her genuinely easy to handle short-handed. A generator and a watermaker give her real range for extended stays away from a marina, and her sail wardrobe — a complete North Sails 3Di set — rounds out a package few sisterships can match.
What makes DIC particularly interesting for a buyer is what comes with her: this is a true turn-key sale — Pischel RIB tender with 25 hp Yamaha included, along with bed linen, crockery & cutlery, tools, paddleboard and e-scooters. Nothing further to source — simply take her over and sail.
