Launched in 1989, this Beneteau Oceanis 430 reflects the French builder's long-standing reputation for seaworthy, comfortable cruising yachts. Measuring 12.96 metres with a 4.22 metre beam and 1.55 metre draft, she offers a stable, forgiving platform suited to coastal and offshore passages alike. The four-cabin layout provides generous accommodation for family cruising, extended charter work, or liveaboard comfort, with practical separation of sleeping quarters for privacy on longer voyages.
Beneteau's Oceanis range has earned a loyal following among cruising sailors, thanks to its balanced hull design, predictable handling and solid build quality. This particular yacht lies at Marsden Cove, New Zealand, well placed for Hauraki Gulf exploration, Pacific cruising or further offshore adventures. Offered at EUR $55,000, this Oceanis 430 sits comfortably within the sub-13 metre cruising yacht market.
Her moderate 1.55 metre draft opens up shallower anchorages that deeper-keeled yachts often can't reach, and her proven hull form handles a range of conditions with ease. For an owner planning family cruising, weekend trips or a longer offshore passage, she offers the space, pedigree and seaworthiness to back it up. Buyers after a capable four-cabin cruising yacht should get in touch to arrange an inspection.
