Meet Opie Bea. A dialed-in Jeanneau 37 built for easy sailing, big laughs, and disappearing from the grind with your favorite people.
This is the kind of boat that makes you say yes more often. Yes to spontaneous weekends. Yes to sunsets that turn into overnights. Yes to loading friends and family aboard and remembering why sailing hooked you in the first place. Opie Bea has been actively sailed, thoughtfully upgraded, and genuinely enjoyed by owners who know their way around a boat.
She’s been a regular in the Jeanneau Sailboat Owner Group of the Chesapeake, a tight-knit crew of hands-on, experienced sailors who share real-world knowledge, problem-solving, and cruising stories. The upside for the next owner is simple: you’re not just buying a boat, you’re stepping into a community of like-minded adventurers who actually use their boats.
She’s been modernized where it matters, with a repowered diesel, lithium power, solar, and a Victron energy system that lets you stay out longer and worry less. At the helm, updated B&G electronics keep things clean, intuitive, and confidence-inspiring whether you’re daysailing or stretching your range.
Down below, it’s warm, welcoming, and practical. Two comfortable cabins, a bright salon, a proper nav station, and a galley that works. Add air conditioning, great storage, and an easy cockpit setup, and you’ve got a platform that’s just as good for quiet escapes as it is for shared adventures.
On deck, sail handling is simple and short-handed friendly, with furling sails, lines led aft, solid Harken hardware, and ground tackle you can trust. A custom stainless dinghy arch carries the tender and electric outboard, so exploring anchorages is part of the plan, not a hassle. Shade from the bimini, space to stretch out, and a layout that invites people to stay awhile.
Opie Bea isn’t about impressing the dock. She’s about slipping lines, turning off notifications, and remembering that life feels better under sail.
If you’re looking for a proven, seaworthy cruiser that hits the sweet spot between performance, comfort, and livability, Opie Bea checks boxes most boats miss. She’s big enough to go places, small enough to manage easily, and designed from the keel up to actually be sailed. Whether your plans involve coastal cruising, longer offshore passages, or simply escaping the routine with family and friends, this is a platform that inspires confidence and invites adventure. Opie Bea is ready when you are.
