Beneteau Oceanis 423

2003 Beneteau Oceanis 423 Carthago is proudly offered for sale, exclusively with Ray White Marine. With a beautiful, recently renovated interior with all new top quality upholstery, a new galley top, air conditioning throughout and all of the equipment you would need to move onboard today, S/Y Carthago is in Turn-key condition and ready for you to explore.
If you are familiar with the Beneteau Group, you will find that the Beneteau Oceanis 423 and 473 are the most popular models. Inspired by the Open 60 Series, the Beneteau 423 rightly claims its place on the World's Top 40 Cruising Monohulls of All time. Despite offering generously sized living areas and a huge amount of storage space for her size, she is also a responsive, fast and comfortable sailing boat, which balancing capability in all wind conditions is outstanding. Easy to sail, easy to handle, easy to park into a tight marina berth if needed, this remarkable design will never cease to amaze. Built at a time when strength and quality came first, this Beneteau 423 is a big step above more recent production boats in many ways.
When the current owner was shopping for a boat, he was particularly interested in various styles and models including Beneteau 393,411 and Passport 40 etc. It wasn't until he stepped onboard the Beneteau Oceanis 423 Clipper edition that he realised that it was the boat that was going to see him blissfully set sail for the past 5 years. Tough and reliable is this design. This has been and will continue to be one of the best Bluewater boats out there for the whole family to enjoy.

Immediately as you step onboard, you will notice the value of an extra foot for long term cruising. It is not just the length, but her super wide and powerful transom complemented beam carried well forward and clipper bow keeps the boat very stable and dry, both upwind and down.

This remarkable example of the highly sought after 2 -cabin version of the Beneteau Oceanis 423 ticks all the boxes for a discerning buyer looking for a fully equipped, fast and comfortable boat to keep cruising or live-aboard.
Both accommodations have access to an en-suite head and shower.
The Aft Cabin can fit a large Queen size berth with several opening hatches and one side hole port. There is lots of hanging lockers and stowage shelves including cubby holes for your shoes and a very handy bench for sitting.

The forward Master Cabin is a very well-designed cabin. There is a large handing locker that is located portside and a large bench seat allowing you to climb into bed with ease. There are 2 overhead opening hatches and 2 port windows allowing great ventilation. There is a full walk-in head and shower with enough space to get change and not feel constricted. There is also plenty of stowage under the bed and within the cabinetry.

One of the main advantages of the owner's version is that there is a U galley instead of a linear one, which suits the avid chef for safer cooking while at sea.

You will find a huge storage locker large enough to fit a diesel generator, water maker and plenty of room for miscellaneous items including cleaning supplies, toys, spare lines and spare parts for the boat.

The sit down, forward facing Nav Table is also a good size, with plenty of instruments to work with. Being forward facing, this will alleviate seasickness while navigating Bluewater.
S/Y Carthago is equipped with the very best cruising electronics and safety equipment such as AIS, radar, Iridium Go! (A satellite marvel that allows you to transform your own phone into a sat phone, make calls and receive calls, download weather, receive weather routing, send text messages and emails etc. ), has a very young set of sails, and all the usual suspects such as rigging, skin fittings, anchor winch, etc. Taken care off. Her inventory is simply to die for, and her owners await your visit in the paradise Fiji Islands, where they can move the boat closer to the airport in order to facilitate the logistics of the inspection or the transportation.
S/Y Carthago has been sailing her whole life and has never been a 'marina boat'. Therefore, she has never suffered from the multiple, insidious deteriorations brought by lack of use, such as corrosion to the engine, or environmental electrolysis. 'Use it or lose it' the old adage goes, and for good reason.
An actively cruising boat, whereby everything is used everyday and the owner is always on board to maintain the boat, it is far preferable to their 'sitting ducks' equivalent in local marinas. S/Y Carthago was designed to cruise, and cruise she certainly has done, with tens of thousands of miles logged all around the world, proving herself the right choice of a yacht for this purpose in every way.
As quoted by the current owners of S/Y Carthargo, 'The three priorities in our boat search were speed, modernity and price, and this boat had it all. We feel really lucky having a boat as well equipped as this and know that the next owners will feel the same way. We've added over $120K in cruising upgrades and luxuries in the past few years to make Carthago our home on the water... And we've got the receipts to prove it. This boat has everything you need to take off on your next adventure. '
Boat delivery to Australia/New Zealand negotiable.
