Four Cabin Production Boats

[Ranger06]

Can anyone tell me the typical size manufactures start putting 4-cabins it? I really like the Beneteau Oceanis 393 and the Cyclades 43 but having 3 kids, we need a boat with 4-cabins. The smallest 4-cabin boat in the Beneteau line I have found is around the 473.

I have chartered a 42' Bavaria that had 4 cabins & 2 heads. It was reasonably spacious considering. It gained some extra room by having no settee opposite the table and an inline galley where the settee would have been. the boat would only be 10 years old now, so there should be some available, probably mostly ex-charter. It had a reasonably roomy V berth up front, forward head & a small cabin with double bunks behind that & 2 "double" cabins under the cockpit. Depending on the application a cat might be ideal for your needs.

as a beneteau fan i think one of the best mid size all round production yacht beneteau made was the beneteau 411 it came with 4 cabins

Thanks guys. That 411 is a pretty sharp boat, will definately look at that. I honestly would love a cat, but think they're a little out of my price range. I have been looking for quite some time for a Cat we can circumnavigate with and with a budget of about $200K, they seem to be out of my price range. Thanks again
