BENETEAU OCEANIS 323 CLIPPER

A fast family cruiser with spacious light and airy accommodation. This Beneteau Oceanis 323 must be seen to appreciate the “as new” condition of her interior. She is in the same private ownership from new and has only been used for family cruising for one month per year.

On stepping aboard from the sugarscoop transom there is easy access forward through the transom gate (with pivoting helm seat) past the innovative pivoting steering wheel mounted on the binnacle with navigation instruments and chart plotter. 

Below decks the light use of this yacht really shows in the condition of her interior. Numerous opening hatches, port-lights and windows in the saloon ceiling and hull sides allow lots of natural light and ventilation. The beautiful wood interior is complemented by the quality upholstery. The engine is located beneath the companionway steps and has only 800 hours run.

The galley is located to port with an enormous heads compartment located to starboard with separate shower and wet-locker areas. The saloon has a small aft facing chart table/navigation area to starboard with a settee forward of this and across the saloon table another straight settee that converts to a double berth. The forward cabin houses a double ‘V’ berth and the owners’ cabin is aft to port and can be used lengthways or athwartships and is of a size you only expect to find on a much larger yacht. 

This is an attractive yacht with nice lines combining a good sailing performance with very spacious accommodation for her overall length with lower running and storage costs.
