Beneteau Oceanis 423 in FIJI!

Beneteau Oceanis 423 in FIJI!

$155k USD

Fully equipped bluewater cruising boat. The previous owner sailed from France to Australia and then to California, where I bought it. I did a refit in 2015 and then 2017 and brought it to Fiji.

THE BOAT IS TURN KEY AND IT COULD BE YOU SAILING IN FIJI RIGHT NOW!
DELIVERY TO NZ OR AUSTRALIA ALSO POSSIBLE WITH A DEPOSIT PAID


S/V Carthago is a 2003 Beneteau Oceanis 423. The three priorities in our boat search were speed, modernity and price and this boat had it all. It sailed on its own bottom from France to Australia and then spent a few years cruising Southeast Asia before it was sailed to California where we bought it. We then sailed it down to Mexico and across the Pacific all the way to Fiji where it is being actively cruised today. We feel really lucky having a boat as well equipped as this and know that the next owners will feel the same way. The Beneteau 423 is inspired by the Open 60 series and has been included in Cruising World’s Top 40 cruising monohulls of all time. Let’s start with the specs:

Designer Groupe Finot
LOA 43’2” (13.2 m.) Hull length 41’8” (12.7 m.) LWL 38’7” (11.8 m.) Beam 12’11” (3.9 m.) Deep bulb keel (6’11” draft) Ballast (deep) 5,569 lbs. (2,526 kgs.) Displ. (deep) 19,530 lbs. (8,860 kgs.) SA (furling, 100%) 720 sq. ft. (66.9 sq. m.) SA (classic, 100%) 753 sq. ft. (70.0 sq. m.) Mast above water 54’4” (16.6 m.) Ballast/Displ. (deep) 29% Displ./Length 154 SA/Displ. (furling) 15.7 SA/Displ. (Classic) 16.5 LPS 120 degrees Fuel 53 gal. (200 ltr.) Water 154 gal. (581 ltr.) Volvo D2-55 diesel 55-hp (3900 hours as of 9/2017)

And some reasons why the Beneteau Oceanis 423 owner’s version is the best boat for a cruising couple:
Speed: – Mexico to the Marquesas in 20 days. Yup, 3000 nautical miles in 20 days.
Safety: – Deep keel for blue water cruising. – L-shaped galley. Feed hungry sailors without getting tossed around with every wave! – Oceanis is Beneteau’s blue water cruising design.
Comfort:
Swim platform. You’re out cruising. Getting in and out of the crystal clear blue water should be as easy as possible!
2 cabin layout. Two large cabins with queen beds, excellent storage and private heads. A drop down table and settee make extra sleeping space for a total of 7 people.
Head room. Our buddy is 6’7 and even he doesn’t have to duck down!
Forward facing nav desk. Essential for a blue water cruising boat. Plan your passages in safety and comfort.
Air Conditioning throughout the boat. Especially useful in the tropics to get rid of the humidity inside the boat.


Why Carthago is the best Beneteau Oceanis 423 for sale:
Experience. Carthago has had one Atlantic and three Pacific ocean crossings. She sailed from France where she was built to Australia; Singapore to San Francisco and then onto the blue waters of Fiji! They say that being blue water ready is less a test of the boat and more a test of the crew. This is certainly true!
Upgrades. 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.

Thanks! It has 3 x 230ah 8D size Trojan AGM batteries. I have one in the engine compartment and two in the aft cabin next to the water tank. I also have a separate starter battery in there.

It involved taking down the mast and retiring everything through a new conduit. And San Francisco boatyard prices.

Re: Beneteau Oceanis 423 in FIJI!

My wife and I are currently in the 'day dreaming' phase of planning our sailing lives and boat purchase, but I just wanted to drop by and say that this boat is gorgeous.

A little out of our (theoretical) price range for when the time comes to purchase (a few years away), but this is the exact type of boat we'll be looking for when the time comes.

Good luck with the sale!

That is a great price for a great boat! Looks well taken care of...... and if the woman doing yoga on the bow comes with the boat it’s a steel!!

Good luck!
