My Bénéteau Oceanis 43 for sale

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

A model renowned for its comfort

This is a Beneteau Oceanis 43, a model recognized for its living comfort onboard, excellent sailing performance and generous volumes, both on the deck and below. We equipped our Oceanis 43 to be completely autonomous in long-distance navigation and .

Equipment and autonomy

With 1000W of solar panels and 600Ah of lithium batteries, we were able to stay anchored for weeks without ever needing to plug into shore — powering refrigerators, electronics, lighting, and much more with ease. Whether you work remotely or simply enjoy life at anchor, energy independence is assured.

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 essential elements to ensure safety and reliability during offshore crossings. The sails and running rigging, however, are nearing end of life and will need to be replaced before undertaking new major voyages — already factored into the asking price.

History of the yard and model

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’ cruises, offering spaciousness and exceptional comfort.
