2002 Beneteau 331 – Juliana
A Versatile Coastal Cruiser Designed for Comfort, Confidence, and Shallow-Water Freedom
If you’re searching for a sailboat that blends easy handling, thoughtful design, and true cruising comfort in a manageable size, Juliana deserves a close look. This 2002 Beneteau 331 is a proven coastal cruiser with features that make her especially appealing for couples, small families, or sailors looking to step confidently into longer weekends and extended cruising.
One of Juliana’s standout attributes is her lifting keel paired with twin rudders, a rare and valuable configuration that opens up shallow anchorages, gunkholes, and protected cruising grounds that deeper-draft boats simply can’t reach. Whether you’re exploring Florida’s Intracoastal, coastal Georgia, or island-hopping farther afield, this design offers both access and control.
