2002 Beneteau Oceanis 473 | Owner’s Version, New Rigging (2025) & Upgraded Systems
Beneteau Oceanis 473 Owner’s Version, designed by Group Finot and launched in 2002, a well-equipped and privately owned cruiser, tailored for serious Mediterranean sailing or liveaboard use. With three spacious double cabins and two heads, she offers superior comfort without compromising performance.
Professionally maintained and extensively upgraded, she features new standing rigging (2025), a Volvo TMD22 (78hp) engine with turbo overhaul, shaft seal and cutlass bearing replaced (2024), and a cleaned fuel tank. A QL bow thruster, new batteries (2024/25), Dolphin charger, and dual 12V/220V systems ensure smooth handling and energy reliability.
Sails by Tecniq Voile (serviced 2022), electric halyard winch, and a full B&G/Simrad navigation suite (Zeus 2 plotter, autopilot, radar) support confident passagemaking. On deck: Rocna anchor with 85m chain, sprayhood (2023), bimini, and full winter cover.
Below, the warm wood joinery, blue upholstery, Frigoboat fridge, Webasto heating, and shore-powered A/C create a welcoming interior. Includes a 2.6m tender with Mercury 6hp outboard.
