55' Beneteau Oceanis 55

Beneteau Oceanis 55 - Freedom

Freedom is a very clean vessel with 3 luxurious staterooms all with ensuite heads. With a beam over 16 feet, she has a very large salon and galley for entertaining or just relaxing. Freedom is completely set up for long-range cruising and with a shoal keel, she is the ideal sailboat for the Bahamas, Keys, and Caribbean. Freedom is owned by experienced sailors who sailed her from Southern California through the Panama Canal to Florida just last year. She has a 1000-pound rated arch that boasts 820 watts of solar and Lithium Iron Phosphate house batteries for plenty of power. The Yanmar 4JH80 engine with three 53-gallon fuel tanks has a 1000-mile motoring range at her cruise speed. Additionally, she has a Code 0 and 3A asymmetrical spinnakers and a staysail combined with her tri-radial laminate main and jib that allows Freedom to make tracks under sail. The 15-gallon per hour AC & DC powered watermaker fills both 60-gallon fresh water storage tanks so there is plenty of water for extended voyages.


Freedom also has an extensive B&G electronics package with 5 MFD, Navionics Platinum Plus navigation software, Starlink, Iridium Go with arch-mounted antenna, cell phone booster with arch-mounted antenna, WIFI and Bluetooth integration, and a 2000-watt sine wave inverter. Yanmar engine data is integrated into the MFD network to have visibility into fuel burn and engine data.


Inside Freedom she has a very large salon with great light due to the vast number of overhead and hull windows that brighten the space. The salon has a beautiful couch as well as a sectional with an expandable table that seats 8. Freedom has a large galley with a 3 burner range and oven, refrigerator and separate deep freezer, two-section sink with a pull-out faucet, additional filtered water faucet with blue light purification, microwave, dishwasher, and a lot of storage space. To stay comfortable, she has a central chiller with 4 air handlers that run off of shore power or her 8kw Fischer Panda generator.
