2002 Beneteau 473

Designed by Group Finot, the Beneteau 473 won a Sail Magazine's Boat of the Year award for Best Production Cruiser and it's easy to see why: combining amazing interior comfort, volume, and light with bluewater strength, she offers a unique combination of elegant lines with extraordinary space and performance. The bottom line is that the 473 boasts more features and creature comforts than ever before in a boat this size; not surprisingly, it quickly became one of Beneteau's best sellers and remains perennially popular on the brokerage market today.

This particular low time (only about 650 hours), never cruised two stateroom example has always been a CA boat and shows VERY nicely, she's competitively priced and one of only a handful 473s currently available on the west coast (and most of the the OTHER ones have thousands of hours clocked!). Well priced, owner’s motivated and offers encouraged…
