First and foremost, the Beneteau 393 is roomy. You can’t help but notice the legroom, elbow room, generous seat backs, and open space in the cockpit. The walk-through coaming aft creates a good combination of openness and security.
Descending the companionway steps from the spacious cockpit you notice right-away she’s also roomy below. Headroom in the after part of the saloon approaches 6′ 6″. Light adds to the open feel, thanks mostly to the three overhead deck-windows (which come with sunshades).
Pura Vida is a 2 cabin version and has a cherry-trimmed finish with details like pullout blinds, full-length handrails, and a practical head compartment in the forepeak. The cabin has a U-shaped settee to port with a centerline seat. There is storage in corner lockers and under the settee. The table, which lowers to converts to a double berth, is to port, with an entertainment console and large storage area to starboard. The area is flooded with natural light from the above hatches and port lights.
The galley is well-equipped for cruising, featuring double stainless steel sinks, a two-burner stove, oven, microwave, and a 12-volt refrigerator which is both top and front loading.
The forward cabin is spacious and features a comfortable dressing seat opposite the berth and a large hanging locker. There are also full length shelves above the berth to port and good ventilation with two hatches. The head compartment, located in the forward peak, is completely molded and includes a shower and overhead Lewmar hatch.
The aft cabin is the full beam
