My Bénéteau Oceanis 43 for sale
This Bénéteau Oceanis 43 for sale used to be much more than just a sailboat for us — it was our floating home for nearly 2 years. From the turquoise waters of Aruba to the shores of Mexico, passing through Cuba and the Bermuda, and finally back to Europe, this Bénéteau Oceanis 43 safely and comfortably transported us through thousands of nautical miles.
A model recognized for its comfort
It’s a Beneteau Oceanis 43, a model known for its onboard living comfort, its excellent sailing performance, and its generous volumes, both on deck and below. We equipped our Oceanis 43 to be completely self-sufficient for long-distance cruising and off-grid cruising.
Equipment and autonomy
With 1000W of solar panels and 600Ah of lithium batteries, we were able to stay at anchor for weeks without ever connecting to shore — powering fridges, electronics, lighting, and much 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 key elements to ensure safety and reliability on offshore crossings. The sails and running rigging, however, are nearing 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 yard 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 was very successful, especially for charter use under the name Moorings 43.4. The Oceanis 43 is ideal for family or friends cruising, offering generous space and exceptional comfort.
