1989 BENETEAU OCEANIS 430

The Beneteau Oceanis 430 is a well-regarded French production cruising yacht that has earned a strong global reputation for seaworthiness, comfortable blue-water passage-making and liveable interior volume. This 1989 example stretches to 12.96 metres on the waterline with a beam of 4.22 metres, delivering the wide, stable hull form that made the Oceanis range a favourite among serious offshore sailors. With four private cabins, this yacht offers exceptional accommodation for extended family cruising or liveaboard lifestyles, comfortably sleeping eight when required. The 1.55-metre draft strikes a practical balance between upwind performance and access to shallower anchorages throughout New Zealand's cruising grounds and beyond. Currently berthed at the premium Marsden Cove Marina in Northland - one of New Zealand's finest modern marina facilities - this yacht is ideally positioned for exploring the Bay of Islands and beyond. Beneteau's Oceanis 430 benefits from the design pedigree of a builder who has launched more cruising yachts than virtually any other manufacturer in the world. At EUR $65,000, this is a compelling opportunity to acquire a proven, capable offshore passage-maker with generous accommodation at a realistic price point. Inspection is strongly encouraged.
