2003 Beneteau Oceanis 473 Clipper, 129.500 EUR

BLUELINE - 2003 Beneteau Oceanis 473 Clipper | Three-cabin Owner's Version

BLUELINE (formerly DREAMCATCHER) combines the generous volume of the Oceanis 473 with a private three-cabin layout suited to extended cruising and life aboard. Her equipment includes the larger Yanmar 4JH3-HTE 90HP diesel, QL bow thruster, MasterVolt Whisper 6000 generator, in-mast furling, two-zone air conditioning, solar charging and 650-litre water capacity.

Recent investment includes standing rigging and spreader tips replaced in 2025, a 2024 Facnor genoa furling system and Garmin navigation suite, and steering refurbishment in 2025. In 2026 the rudder was dropped and its bearings renewed, the MaxProp propeller and rope cutter serviced, and three 140Ah LiThink lithium domestic batteries installed with DC-to-DC charging. Both air-conditioning systems and the refrigeration were serviced in 2026, and a new liferaft added.

Below decks are a generous forward owner's cabin, two aft cabins, two heads with showers, warm varnished timber joinery, a spacious saloon and well-equipped L-shaped galley. Sleeps six in three cabins, with up to three additional saloon berths. The seller reports approximately 3,390 engine hours and a cruising speed around 7.5 knots at 2,100rpm.

The seller advises that the yacht has generally been dry-sailed for around nine months each year and has never been chartered or raced. Currently afloat in Licata, Sicily, Italy. Local viewings are handled by Elia for Williams & Smithells International.
