The 2004 Beneteau Oceanis 473 Performance represents the pinnacle of French production bluewater cruising from the early 2000s — a 14.15-metre monohull designed by the renowned JM Finot studio, celebrated for delivering responsive, seaworthy sailing characteristics without sacrificing offshore comfort. With a beam of 4.31 metres and a working draft of 2.10 metres, the 473 Performance variant offers an optimised hull form tuned for performance sailing, setting it apart from the standard cruising specification with improved upwind ability and livelier passage-making credentials. Below decks, three well-appointed cabins provide generous accommodation for extended bluewater voyaging — ideal for a live-aboard couple with guest capacity, or a small cruising family ready to explore the Pacific.
Currently berthed at Vuda Marina, Fiji — one of the Pacific's premier cyclone-safe marinas and a natural crossroads for trans-ocean voyagers — this yacht is ideally positioned for an immediate Pacific passage or longer South Pacific circuit. Beneteau's Oceanis 473 has earned a strong reputation among bluewater sailors for its build quality, interior volume and sea-keeping ability. Currently under contract, this listing demonstrates the strong demand for well-specified bluewater cruisers in this category.
Offered at EUR $128,000.
