Beneteau Oceanis 43

My Bénéteau Oceanis 43 for sale

This Bénéteau Oceanis 43 used boat has been much more than just a sailing yacht to us — it was our floating home for almost 2 years. From the turquoise waters of Aruba to the coasts of Mexico, passing through Cuba and the Bermuda, and finally back to Europe, this Bénéteau Oceanis 43 carried us safely and comfortably across thousands of nautical miles.

A proven model for comfort

This is a Beneteau Oceanis 43, a model renowned for its comfort onboard, excellent sailing performance, and , both on deck and below. We equipped our Oceans 43 to be completely autonomous in long-distance navigation 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 plugging into shore power — powering fridges, electronics, lighting, and more, effortlessly. Whether working remotely or simply enjoying life at anchor, energy independence is assured.

Engine and maintenance

The engine is in excellent condition — only 1800 hours, with rigorous maintenance performed according to the manufacturer’s schedule. This year, we inspected the standing rigging and replaced essential components to ensure safety and reliability on offshore crossings. The sails and running rigging, however, are nearing end of life and will need replacing before undertaking new significant voyages — a point already factored into the asking price.

History of the boat and 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 enjoyed great success, notably for its use in charter under the name Moorings 43.4. The Oceanis 43 is ideal for family or friends cruising, offering generous space and exceptional comfort.
