Description

The 2008 Beneteau Oceanis 43 represents a refined evolution in Beneteau’s cruising lineup, positioned alongside the Oceanis 40, 46, and 49 (known as the Oceanis 50 in France) as part of a cohesive generation of modern sailing yachts. Designed by renowned naval architects Berret-Racoupeau, she features clean lines, balanced proportions, and a sleek profile that delivers both performance and timeless dockside appeal.


Below deck, the interior styling by Nauta Design showcases a warm, contemporary aesthetic with thoughtful use of space and natural light. The Oceanis 43 provides exceptional volume and comfort for its size.

Whether underway or at anchor, she delivers the comfort, style, and versatility expected from a premium Beneteau cruising yacht. The OC43 yacht, Astraea, built in France, is an extensively equipped vessel. She features the classic mast and shoal draft, and has benefited from consistent upgrades over time.

    Walkthrough

    Stepping aboard via the wide swim platform, you enter the cockpit through the centerline walkthrough. The twin helm stations are well-equipped with recent Garmin MFD, radar, and forward-facing sonar, complemented by a Raymarine package including autopilot, tri-data, wind, and charting, along with a VHF with RAM mic at the helm.


    The cockpit is designed for both comfort and functionality, featuring recent covers for the helm stations, cockpit table, grill, and hatches, as well as a large bimini for shade from the weather. She has the rich teak cockpit sole option and a large cockpit locker that provides ample storage. An electric halyard winch and intelligent cockpit layout make this vessel particularly well-suited for short-handed sailing.


    Descending below, the saloon is bright and inviting with a warm finish. The galley to port and aft is fully equipped with two refrigerators, a microwave, and a propane stove with oven, offering excellent utility for extended cruising.


    Opposite to starboard, the aft guest cabin is generously sized and features private access to the guest head, which includes a recent electric freshwater toilet, sink, and separate shower.


    Moving forward, the navigation station is conveniently positioned, while the large convertible dinette with island seating and a bulkhead-mounted television creates a comfortable area for entertaining or unwinding after a fun day’s adventure.


    Continuing forward, the owner’s cabin features a large V berth, abundant storage, and an ensuite head a recent electric freshwater toilet, sink, and shower.
