Description

Beneteau 423 sailboat built in 2007 for sale.
Located at Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Mentioned Beneteau 423 - Ocean Echo 1 - is 43 footer with 3 cabins 2 heads and nav table layout, which is hard to find. You can always use cabin for storage, but you cannot turn storage into the cabin!

This Beneteau 423 is modified for convenient cruising with practical approach. She has a lot of advanced features for comfortable living. You will not find Beneteau 423 upgraded to level of "Ocean Echo 1" anywhere (my friends call her "the smart boat"). Ready for extended sailing/cruising. Has not been offshore, has not been grounded, no charter in the past, no insurance claims. This Beneteau 423 has been well maintained (I have mechanical background).

I am retiring from boating after 35 years of sailing, offshore cruising and boat maintenance. This includes extended offshore cruising in Pacific Ocean (South Pacific) on previous sailboat Beneteau Oceanis 400. I am willing to help with many inquiries. Weather forecasting and navigation is my hobby.
