Decent and well-maintained Beneteau. An owner’s boat with three cabins, a spacious salon and a headroom of 200 cm.

The classic interior is in excellent condition.

A galley along the port-side with a stove and oven on a gimbal, a sink and a large refrigerator. Toilet with shower. The cushions in the cabin look good.

The boat has a brand new mainsail with in-mast furling and a staysail on a furling with UV protection.

The Volvo Penta 28 hp engine has always been serviced on time and starts and runs like clockwork. There is a fuel tank for 80 liters.

A new teak was laid in the cockpit (just two years ago), there is a bathing platform at the stern, the anchor winch at the bow was replaced with a new more powerful one (1000W instead of 500W). There is a brand new 330W solar panel, 4 house batteries and 1 starter and a new autopilot is installed.

Also, a dinghy with a new 6 hp engine is given with the boat, it was bought two years ago.

I talked to the seller and asked him to give us a discount, and he agreed to sell the boat for 38,000 instead of 43,500 euros. You are welcome! 😉

Friends, today we have Beneteau First with a paid docking place until June 2023 for 13 000 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 8.60 meters
Beam: 3.00 meters
Draft: 1.72 meters
Sleeps: 5
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet (head): available

Beneteau First boats are a balance of speed and comfort, with special attention to the quality of materials.

This Beneteau is very clean and well-maintained. The owner took very good care of the boat and always serviced all important nodes on time.

The teak interior is in very good condition. The cushions look like new. A new antifouling was applied last year.

Galley with stove, sink and icebox. The salon is quite spacious, thanks to the width of 3 meters (which is quite good for an 8-meter boat).

Full set of sails: mainsail with a cover and a staysail on a new Furlex furling. The sails are in excellent working condition. The photo shows a spinnaker boom, perhaps there is also a spinnaker.

There is very little information about the boat and equipment in the ad, but this doesn’t mean that the boat does not deserve attention. I saw a lot of ads with incomplete information, and on the spot it turned out that the boat was completely “stuffed” with equipment.

A new sprayhood, a platform for swimming in the stern, etc. The photo shows a solar panel, so it was reasonable to install it for something (for example autopilot or something).

Beam: 3.08 meters
Draft: 1.65 meters
Sleeps: 6
Kitchen (galley): available

A very beautiful and well-maintained boat. Only one owner since the boat left the shipyard. The boat was very scrupulously cared for. Since 1988, it has been stored in a warm, heated boathouse every winter. The interior and cushions are in good condition.

The underwater part has recently been painted in 6 layers.

A galley along the port-side with a stove, oven, two sinks with hot and cold water and a refrigerator. The toilet is located in a separate room.

On the starboard side there is a large U-shaped sofa that folds into a double bed.

All sails are available, including the mainsail, staysail and spinnaker. The sails are in good working condition. The sheets and halyards are brought in the cockpit, which allows you to control the boat even alone.

The original Volvo Penta MD7A diesel has always been serviced on time and starts at half turn.

The cockpit is covered with teak. There is a sprayhood and an awning. A bathing platform is installed on the stern.

The following equipment is installed on the boat: autopilot, solar panel, shore charger, wind strength and direction meter and much more.

Friends, today we have a Beneteau Oceanis 411 with a Yanmar engine for 69 300 euros!

Location: Sicily, Italy

Length: 12.50 meters
Beam: 3.96 meters
Draft: 1.85 meters
Sleeps: 8
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet (head): 2

Beautiful owner’s yacht. The boat is located in Marina di Ragusa on the south of Sicily. Docking is paid until the end of April 2023. VAT is paid.

The owners are a family from Norway. They slowly came to Sicily, but they have to return home, so they sell the boat.

I found this offer interesting because the owners are ready to exchange to a similar boat in Norway. This may be suitable for those who want to have a boat in Med, but are not ready to spend time on the passage.

Three double cabins, two bathrooms, a spacious salon with a U-shaped sofa.

The galley is equipped with a stove, oven, two sinks and a refrigerator. There is a washing machine on the boat. There is a diesel heater in cabins.

The boat is quite seaworthy – 7 knots in gulfwind with a comfortable tilt and up to 8.5 for thrill-seekers:)

Sails: mainsail with a twist in the mast and a staysail on a furling. The UV protection needs to be updated on the staysail.

The boat has a Yanmar engine. The engine was always serviced according to the regulations. At cruising speed it consumes 2 liters per hour.

A large number of goodies: a 12-inch chartplotter with connected AIS and radar, autopilot, new batteries (enough for two days of work with a refrigerator and other loads), solar panels, satellite communications and much more.

Friends, today we have a gorgeous ketch for circumnavigation – Formosa 47 with a Yanmar engine and a huge list of equipment for 129 300 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 14.15 meters
Beam: 4.27 meters
Draft: 2.26 meters
Sleeps: 8
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet (head): 3

The boat is in collection shape. All classic interior elements look perfect. At the same time, there are many modern and necessary improvements on the boat.

The galley is equipped with a stove, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, etc. There is a washing machine with a dryer. Two freshwater tanks for 530 liters. Hot and cold water. Electric pumps. Three toilets with showers. All cabins have heating.

Full set of sails: mainsail, mizzen, genoa and jib. All sails are on furlers. The owner says that sometimes there is a problem with the mainsail furling, and you need to look at the rigging. I think this is not a big problem, perhaps it will be fixed before buying.

The boat has a powerful Yanmar 75 hp diesel. The engine was fully serviced last year. The fuel reserve in the tanks is 900 liters! The operating time of the engine is 5300 hours.

There is also a powerful bow thruster on the boat.

The deck and cockpit were completely covered with teak in 2007. The teak has been well watched and is in excellent condition.

The list of equipment is so big that it’s won’t fit one post: a chartplotter, a new radar, VHF, AIS, autopilot, inverter, a new generator, 6 new batteries, Iridium satellite telephony, a new EPIRB, a life raft, a dinghy and much more.

Friends! Today we have a Beneteau Oceanis 43 with a 54hp Yanmar engine (both boat and motor are from 2007) for 112 000 euros!

Location: Caribbean

Length: 13.11 meters
Width: 4.11 meters
Draft: 2 meters
Sleeps: 6
Toilet: available
Shower: available

This is a fairly fresh boat, and it was heavily upgraded for ocean crossings in 2021 and 2022.

If you look at the photo, you can see a lot of solar panels, a radar and even a wind autopilot, which is very rare on mainstream boats.

These guys reached the Caribbean and decided to sell the boat there, which means that this boat was prepared for the ocean and she crossed it.

I like the condition of the yacht: the teak looks good, the wood inside looks almost perfect, the engine looks almost perfect, there is a lot of equipment, and I like the price, too.

If you want a good owner’s boat, at the same time modern and prepared for long journeys, then this is a good option.

The water reserve is 360 liters, the fuel reserve is 200 liters, maybe there’s also a watermaker (this needs to be clarified).

The boat is very wide, 4.1 meters is really a lot, and the width is always a big plus for comfort, just look at the photo inside to understandthe difference between 3-3.5 meters (usually our boats have this width) and 4 meters.
