Interlude is one of the cleanest 2002 boats on the Chesapeake Bay.  This three cabin, two head version of the Beneteau Oceanis 393 has been meticulously maintained and comes with a long list of recent upgrades.  This boat is ready to take a young family or two couples on sunset cruises and long weekend trips.  Just add beer, wine, ice and some nice people and you will be off on Interlude's next adventure.

Based on the highly successful Beneteau 473 and designed by renowned naval architects Berret / Racoupeau Yacht Design, the Beneteau 393 is a unique 39-foot passage maker that answers the long awaited quest for a serious blue water cruiser. Roomier, more spacious, and boasting some of the best accommodations to be found, the 393 will be sure to please the most scrupulous of sailors.
