The Beneteau Oceanis 430 is a highly regarded bluewater cruising yacht that has stood the test of time since its introduction, and this 1989 example represents a compelling opportunity to step aboard a proven offshore passagemaker. Stretching 12.96 metres on a beam of 4.22 metres, the Oceanis 430 was designed to deliver a perfect balance of performance and liveaboard comfort — a philosophy Beneteau has long been celebrated for. With four cabins, this yacht is well-suited for extended bluewater passages with family or friends, offering genuine offshore capability without compromising on comfort below decks.
The generous beam provides exceptional interior volume, with natural light and ventilation throughout the accommodation spaces. The moderate draft of 1.55 metres allows access to a wide range of anchorages and marinas across New Zealand and the Pacific. Currently berthed at Marsden Cove — one of New Zealand's premier marina facilities with excellent amenities and direct coastal access — this yacht is ideally positioned for adventures north to Fiji, Tonga, or beyond.
Offered at EUR $65,000, the Beneteau Oceanis 430 represents outstanding value for a bluewater-capable cruising yacht of this size and pedigree. Inspection strongly encouraged.
