2005 Beneteau Oceanis 473

2005 Beneteau Oceanis 473 “Blue Moana” Ready-to-go 4-cabin, 3-head passagemaker built for comfort, safety, and long-range cruising. The sellers have set the boat up for efficient off-the-dock cruising by adding an arch with solar and davits, as well as a wind generator. Originally equipped with three heads, one has been converted to storage and now houses a 3kg Daewoo clothes washer. This could be easily returned to service. The washer runs from the Victron inverter, eliminating dinghy trips to the laundry while cruising the Caribbean. Her Shenker watermaker delivers 30L per hour, and with (4) large water tanks, she carries ample fresh water for family cruising needs or an extended passage. All electronics have been recently updated, including radar. Her sail plan includes a staysail on a Facnor furler, making the boat very easy to handle when the Caribbean trades spike over 20kts. A substantial set of ground tackle with alternate anchors ensures good holding and sound sleeping wherever you set the hook. She also includes a powerful bow thruster for navigating tight marinas. The sellers crossed the Atlantic with their teenagers on Blue Moana in 2024 and have been actively cruising the Eastern and Western Caribbean since then. These Swiss owners have done an exceptional job with maintenance and record keeping. This 473 is turnkey and awaiting her next adventures. • Salon table lowers to form additional double berth • Large salon table with seating for (8) • Galley to port with (2) fridges (top & front loading), deep double sinks, and (3) burner stove with oven Interior Comforts and Amenities • (2) Fridges (1 front loading & 1 top loading) – compressor and evaporator changed (one in 2020 and the other in 2025) • (3) Burner stove with oven and broiler (ENO Bretagne 3, 2023) • (7) Gas bottle Campingaz – outside propane locker • (1) Of (3) heads converted to electrical (all toilet hoses changed 2023) • Watermaker ShenkerZen30, 30L/h + faucet + selectors (2024) + spare pump (2025) • Water heater 220V / engine cooled (unserviceable) • (2) Lewmar windows changed (2023) • All window seals replaced (2023) • 12V pressurized fresh water pump (2025) • Spare parts for numerous systems • Raymarine Axiom+ 9 Plotter with NMEA 2000 (2025) + Navionics maps (Carraibes, Mexique, Brésil) • Raystar 150 GPS / Glonass antenna (2025) • AIS 700 Class B Raymarine with splitter (2025) • Raymarine Quantum 2 Doppler Radar (2025) • Raymarine ACU-400 Autopilot (2025) • Raymarine P70S Autopilot controller (2025) • Raymarine Type 2L Linear Drive (2023) + spare parts • Raymarine cabled wind vane transducer (2025) • (2) Raymarine I70S MCD (2025) • Raymarine DST810 Depth, Speed & Temperature transducer (2025) • Raymarine ITC-5 transducer converter (2025) • Raymarine Ray53 VHF (2025) + antenna & cable (2025) • Portable VHF Standard Horizon HX890E (2023) • Iridium GO (2020) + antenna on arch (2025) • AC shore power system 230V 50Hz • (2) Victron 230A
