Description
Beneteau Oceanis 361 – Two Cabin Cruiser - Catching Air II
A striking balance of comfort, agility, and value, the Beneteau 361 (built by Beneteau USA in Marion, SC) delivers on all fronts. Designed by Berret Racoupeau, it offers generous volume in an easily managed 36-foot hull.
Key Highlights
• Beam: A roomy 12′6″ (3.8 m) beam offers sailing stability and spacious interior living
• Shoal Draft: At just 5′ 0″ (1.52 m), the shallow draft lets you explore shallow harbors and anchorages with ease.
• Displacement & Ballast: Solidly built at roughly 13,300–13,850 lb with a 4,156 lb ballast bulb keel, offering stiffness and comfortable motion at sea.
Layout & Comfort
• Two cabin layout: Features a sprawling full-beam aft owner’s stateroom, paired with a cozy forward V berth—perfect for couples who crave privacy and space. The salon includes a U-shaped settee and a convertible dining table for added flexibility
• Effortless sailing: “Catching Air II” is easy to handle short-handed thanks to proven engineering, balanced sail plan, and manageable systems.
Catching Air II was sailed seasonally by a family in the Northeast for seven years before the current owner sailed to Charleston, SC. She was stored and maintained at Martha's Vineyard Shipyard.

Interior
The two-cabin layout of the Beneteau 361 combines thoughtful design with cruising comfort. The interior features high-quality woodwork and generous (6'4”) headroom. The space features two spacious cabins, a large head, a U-shaped galley, versatile dining and sleeping areas, and ample ventilation.
The forward cabin has a large V-berth (approximately 6′ 7″ x 5′ 4″), surrounded by hull-shelf storage, a starboard hanging locker, and twin reading lights. Ventilation is supplied through two opening ports and a Lewmar hatch above.
The salon features a U-shaped settee to starboard, accompanied by a dining table. The dining table can be lowered to transform the area into an extra berth. On the port side, there's a straight settee. Storage options include under-seat compartments, overhead lockers, and a bar locker situated behind the starboard settee. Large coach roof windows and a deck hatch supply natural light and ventilation.
The C-shaped galley is located on the port side, forward of the companionway. It offers ample counter space, a stainless-steel double sink, a two-burner propane stove, a dedicated microwave shelf, and plenty of refrigerated storage (front-loading fridge and icebox). Louvered door lockers and a cutting board cover for the sink complete the setup. Ventilation is provided via a hatch and a porthole above the stove.

Matt Malatich, CPYB is the Managing Broker of S&J Yachts in Charleston, S.C., where he is a standout in helping clients navigate the acquisition or disposition process of luxury cruising yachts.
Boating has always been at the forefront of Matt’s life. From growing up on boats, to pleasure cruising and racing, to watching his own kids learn the lines, Matt’s love of the sea is woven throughout the canvas of his life.
It’s no wonder that a heart for the water, a head for business and a degree from Hamilton College led Matt to launch his career in 1996 as a yacht broker with J/Port and then Crusader Yacht Sales in Annapolis, MD. In this role, he sold brokerage boats and new J/Boats, Ericsons, Pacific Seacraft, Sagas and Tiaras.
Shortly after being named Salesperson of the Year for Pacific Seacraft, Matt returned to his hometown of Princeton, N.J., in 1999 to expand his professional experience to commercial real estate. Matt served as a commercial real estate broker for CBRE and Preferred Real Estate Investments, where he focused on acquisitions of large corporate-owned properties for redevelopment as well as leasing of office properties and due diligence of large-scale dispositions.
Matt transitioned to the role of Assistant Director of Leasing for Hilton Realty, a fully integrated real estate development and management company in 2006. For nearly a decade, Matt’s primary focus was on marketing and leasing industrial, office and retail properties to large banks, law firms, technology firms, pharmaceutical companies, national retailers as well as mom and pop stores.
In 2015, Matt’s genuine affinity toward boating prompted him to make a sea change personally and professionally. Trading bricks for boats, Matt returned to the yacht brokerage business as the Managing Broker for S&J Yacht’s Charleston office.
Today, drawing from nearly 25 years of combined experience in yacht brokerage and commercial real estate, Matt has built a reputation for his proven ability to assist buyers and sellers of upscale power and cruising sailboats throughout North America and Europe.
As a seasoned broker, Matt understands that buying and selling can be both one of the most euphoric and stressful times in a boater’s journey, and views representation and guidance of his clients’ dreams as a true privilege.
Matt’s calm and easy demeanor provides clients with a steady hand at the wheel to help them obtain the best value for their dream yacht, as well as assisting sellers with a smooth sale of their vessel when the time is right. He is well positioned to be an advocate throughout the entire transaction process by prescreening boats (including obtaining their true histories), facilitating showings, navigating financing options, insurance needs, surveys and the closing process.
