BROKER'S REMARKS Vaitea is an attractive choice for a couple seeking a comfortable and manageable cruising yacht with plenty of space for family and friends. The sought-after two-cabin owner's layout provides generous private accommodation, while the two separate heads compartments make extended stays aboard particularly practical. Her spacious cockpit, straightforward furling sail arrangement and substantial freshwater capacity suit relaxed Mediterranean cruising and island hopping. Solar charging, an electric windlass and a well-equipped galley add to her appeal for longer periods aboard. With a replacement mainsail and refrigerator in 2022, a more recent windlass and renewed sprayhood clear panels, Vaitea has several worthwhile updates. She has, however, been unused since 2022 and requires new batteries and recommissioning before returning to service.

HISTORY Vaitea was built by Beneteau in France in 1998 to a design by Groupe Finot. The Oceanis 411 is an established cruising design, and this example benefits from the sought-after two-cabin owner's configuration with two heads compartments. The yacht underwent rudder bearing work in 2012 and an inspection of the original standing rigging in 2018. Subsequent improvements include a replacement electric windlass around 2021, a new mainsail and refrigerator in 2022, and replacement sprayhood clear panels in 2025. The Volvo Penta diesel engine was professionally serviced in 2022. Due to family commitments, the yacht has remained unused since that time. Although the batteries were new in 2022, all existing batteries now require replacement.
