43' Beneteau Oceanis 42cc

This 2004 Beneteau Oceanis 42CC is a rare find among center-cockpit cruisersblending comfort, performance, and smart upgrades into a turnkey cruising package. With its shoal draft keel that is rarely seen on a 42cc, this yacht opens up anchorages that are off-limits to deeper-keeled boats, while still delivering capable offshore handling.

The thoughtful two-cabin, two-head layout makes the Oceanis 42cc ideal for couples cruising with guests or family. The owners suite aft features a centerline queen birth, ample storage, and a private ensuite with a separate shower, while the forward guest cabin offers its own head and comfortable V-berth. This layout provides privacy and flexibility whether youre living aboard full-time or just out for a long passage with friends.

This boat has seen serious miles under her keelcruising extensively from Maine to the eastern Caribbean, the Dry Tortugas, Bermuda, and the Bahamasyet shes clearly been cared for and continually upgraded. The recently remodeled galley brings the feel of a modern home to sea, with custom Corian countertops, a convection oven, and an induction cooktop. New salon cushions and a memory foam mattress add comfort, while the air conditioner and washing machine allow life at sea to be just as convenient as life on landbut with better views.

Systems aboard are equally impressive. With 600Ah of BattleBorn lithium batteries, over 1,000 watts of solar, and a high-output alternator, you can confidently cruise off-grid without worrying about power. The recently updated Spectra watermaker, Starlink internet, new Mantus 65lb anchor, and new sails make this boat ready to sail to beautiful remote anchorageswhich is where it has spent most of its time in the last 6 years.

This boat has been doing serious cruising and is ready to keep going.
