XBOAT ref :6099.My Bénéteau Oceanis 43 for Sale
This Bénéteau Oceanis 43 for sale has been much more than just a sailboat to us — it has been our floating home for nearly 2 years. From the turquoise waters of Aruba to the coasts of Mexico, via Cuba and the Bermudas, and finally back to Europe, this Bénéteau Oceanis 43 has safely and comfortably transported us through thousands of nautical miles.
A Model Recognized for Its Comfort
It is a Beneteau Oceanis 43, a model recognized for its comfort on board, its excellent sailing performances and its generous volumes, both on deck and below. We have equipped our Oceanis 43 to be fully autonomous in long-distance navigation and off-grid cruising.
Equipment and Autonomy
With 1000W of solar panels and 600Ah of lithium batteries, we have been able to stay at anchor for weeks without ever plugging in to shore — powering fridges, electronics, lighting and more, without difficulty. Whether you work remotely or simply enjoy life at anchor, energy independence is guaranteed.
Engine and Maintenance
The engine is in excellent condition — only 1800 hours, with rigorous maintenance carried out according to the manufacturer's schedule. This year, we inspected the standing rigging and replaced the essential elements to ensure safety and reliability on ocean crossings. The sails and running rigging, on the other hand, are reaching the end of their life and will need to be replaced before undertaking new major navigations — a point already taken into account in the asking price.
History of the Shipyard and the Model
The Beneteau Oceanis 43 was designed by Berret-Racoupeau and its interior by Nauta Design. It was first built in 2006 by Beneteau in France. This model marked a new era in the history of offshore cruising boats thanks to its design, comfort and performance. It was produced until 2014 and has been a great success, notably for its use in charter under the name of Moorings 43.4. The Oceanis 43 is ideal for family or friends cruising, offering generous space and exceptional comfort.
