Beneteau Oceanis 43

Equipment and autonomy

With 1000W of solar panels and 600Ah of lithium batteries, we were able to stay at anchor for weeks without ever needing to connect to shore power — powering refrigerators, electronics, lighting, and much more, easily. 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 performed according to the manufacturer’s schedule. This year, we inspected the standing rigging and replaced key components to ensure safety and reliability during offshore crossings. The sails and running rigging are, however, nearing the end of their life and should be replaced before undertaking new major voyages — this has already been factored into the asking price.

History of the shipyard 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 in charter operations under the name Moorings 43.4. The Oceanis 43 is ideal for family or friends’ cruises, offering generous space and exceptional comfort.
