Beneteau Oceanis 430 EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION, SUPERBLY UPGRADED! Just Listed

Superbly designed by Philippe Briand, the Beneteau Oceanis 430 is celebrated for its robust build quality, true bluewater capability, and rewarding sailing performance. One of the most successful models of its era, many examples have proven themselves on extensive offshore passages, including full circumnavigations, keeping their crews safe and comfortable in a wide range of conditions. Below deck, the generous beam delivers a remarkably spacious, well-conceived interior, ideal for extended cruising or relaxed liveaboard life. Bravo Zulu is an outstanding example of the design and must be seen to be fully appreciated. Previously owned by a shipwright, she benefited from a comprehensive refit between 2010 and 2013, undertaken to prepare the vessel for serious extended cruising. This included A COMPLETE REBUILD OF THE TIMBER SOLE, FLOORBOARDS, AND CABINETRY (completed to an exceptionally high standard!), NEW TEAK DECKS IN COCKPIT AND SEATS, ALL NEW ELECTRICAL AND PLUMPING SYSTEMS, CENTRAL HEATING ADDED TO THE SALOON AND CABINS, WATER MAKER INSTALLED, NEW 2014 VOLVO D55 DIESEL ENGINE INSTALLED, UPGRADED ELECTRONICS, the list goes on! The current highly experienced owner purchased the vessel in 2020, and has further improved the vessel with NEW 2022 STANDING RIGGING, and 2025 RE-SPRAY OF THE TOP SIDES. Superbly set up for easy cruising, it also features ELECTRIC PRIMARY WINCHES, SOLAR PANELS, 240V INVERTER, IN-MAST FURLING MAINSAIL, AND GENNAKER. Beautifully presented, extensively upgraded, and ready for its next adventure, "Bravo Zulu" is a yacht not to miss!

Stepping inside, the quality of internal refit is exceptional. The satin in-laid teak and holly floor boards, matching gloss dinette, and Corian bench tops create a truely luxurious feel. To starboard is the generous dinette with seating for 8 in comfort on the neatly upholstered settees. The well appointed galley is opposite and features a 2 burner gas stove with oven, double bowl stainless steel sink with H/C pressurised water, generous eutectic fridge/freezer, and excellent storage for extended stays onboard. The accommodation is ideal for cruising with family and friends, or as a comfortable liveaboard. The master cabin is forward and has been extensively upgraded with stunning curved cupboards and solid timber trims. Aft are two additional private double cabins, complete with vanities. Mid-ships is a separate toilet with vanity, with a private shower opposite. Complete with a quality Webasto diesel heater, ducted throughout, the vessel is a joy to use all year round.

Outside, the cockpit is deep, safe, and well protected with the spray dodger and bimini. The teak is in excellent condition, and there is also a set of cockpit cushions for additional comfort. This vessel is superbly set up to be easily sailed short handed with the Raymarine Autopilot, electric primary winches, in-mast furling mainsail, and furling headsail. The generous sugar scoop provides excellent access to the water or a tender, and is also a great space to use the BBQ! There is easy access forward around the wide side decks. The Muir anchor winch is well set up with generous Rocna anchor, and salt water wash down.

This vessel is powered by the NEW 2014 Volvo Penta D55 50HP Diesel Engine with only 990 hours on the clock. Well maintained and reliable, this provides easy and economical cruising at 6 Knots.

Having been extensively upgraded by highly experienced shipwrights and sailors, "Bravo Zulu" provides a rare opportunity to enjoy a yacht of this pedigree, capability, and so beautifully presented. Easily sailed by a novice learning the ropes, with the performance to delight a seasoned sailer, this vessel is ready to turn your sailing dreams into reality!
