Dartmouth United Kingdom
2006 Beneteau Oceanis 473 Clipper - a one owner boat that started life in the Med and was brought back to the UK in the early 2020s. 'Aeolian Star' is a fine example of these well regarded and very capable cruising yachts. She has benefitted from a number of upgrades in recent years including new teak decks, diesel heating, new Raymarine electronics, additional safety equipment including EPIRB, new batteries along with charging and monitoring equipment. This is alongside the high level specification she started out with such as 100hp engine, 7.5kVA generator and air conditioning. Laid out with three cabins and two heads there is plenty of space for six to stay onboard comfortably and the cockpit offers a safe and secure space protected by a large sprayhood and bimini. An ideal blue water yacht for couples or families, it will bring your cruising dreams to life.

Broker Comments
The Oceanis range has always been about drawing inspiration from the spirit of the sea and the 473 Clipper lives up to that, offering a design that is safe, easy and comfortable. With a functional deck layout and well profiled hull she is a swift yet easily handled yacht. Below deck, space and light are the key words, clever design includes the island bed in the forward cabin, a large saloon with panoramic windscreen and hull windows as well as comfortable aft cabins. 'Aeolian Star' shows off these design cues effortlessly with her three cabin layout and well cared for appearance, with a large amount of maintenance and upgrades carried out in recent years there is very little to do before setting sail on your own adventure.
