Description

Tartuga is a proven, offshore-capable Oceanis 48 that has just returned from a Bahamas cruising season. The bottom was recently painted, and the majority of systems were upgraded or serviced between 2024 and 2026. She is USCG documented, legally imported under CBP-7501, and located at Safe Harbor Charleston City Marina, and available for immediate inspection.

This 3-cabin, 2-head layout is fully equipped for immediate passagemaking, featuring a 1,050W solar array on a custom arch with dinghy and outboard lift, upgraded 560Ah lithium battery bank, watermaker, 2024 standing rigging, new North mainsail and genoa (2024), 3 electric winches, windlass, 2026 Simrad 12" chart plotter, 3-zone A/C, bow thruster, a new SD60 sailrive (2025), fresh bottom paint (2026), and shoal draft (6’). A 2021 Highfield 340 tender with a 20HP outboard is included.

Privately owned, never chartered, and with no known hurricane or damage history, Tartuga presents as a clean, well-maintained, and highly capable cruising yacht.

    Deck and Cockpit

    The Beneteau Oceanis 48 features a spacious, open cockpit that balances comfort and functionality. Twin helms offer great visibility and access, and the centerline table includes storage, lighting, and stainless steel handrails. Tartuga is equipped with six folding cockpit cushions, a dodger, a bimini, and mesh side curtains for comfort and protection.

    There is plenty of storage, with two large cockpit lockers, additional compartments in the cockpit sole, a dedicated propane locker, and a liferaft locker beneath the helm seat.

    The electric fold-down transom creates a wide swim platform for easy water access and tender boarding. When raised, it forms secure seating and encloses the cockpit.

    Most sail controls are led aft for short-handed sailing, with electric primary winches positioned within easy reach of both helms. The mainsheet is led to an overhead arch, keeping the cockpit uncluttered and safe.

    Side decks are wide and easy to navigate, and the foredeck is clean and functional, with a large chain locker, anchor windlass, and ample space for ground tackle (73 lbs Rocna anchor and 150+ ft. of chain) and cruising gear.

    Opposite the galley is a large head with a separate shower, easily accessible for guests and day use.

    The salon is open and inviting, with excellent natural light from overhead hatches and hull ports. A U-shaped settee and dining table are positioned to starboard, with additional seating to port, creating a comfortable space for dining or relaxing. Storage is thoughtfully integrated throughout, with lockers above and compartments below.

    Both aft cabins are well lit and well ventilated, offering comfortable double berths and hanging lockers.
