A WELL-EQUIPPED, PRIVATELY OWNED 473
This is not a basic ex-charter yacht. She has been privately owned and never used as a charter yacht, and has been equipped for genuine independent cruising.
The combination of the 75hp Volvo, bow thruster, electric winches, Rocna ground tackle, solar, generator, Victron inverter/charger and comprehensive Raymarine electronics makes her equally suited to Mediterranean island hopping, extended liveaboard cruising or offshore passages.
The 2025 engine installation represents a particularly significant recent investment and provides considerable reassurance compared with many yachts of this age still running their original engines.
The Beneteau Oceanis 473 offers an excellent balance of sailing performance, seaworthiness, cockpit space and interior comfort. At approximately 47 feet, she is a substantial cruising yacht while remaining very manageable for a couple or short-handed crew.
