Overview

"Author! Author!" is the nicest, cleanest, and most well-equipped Beneteau 473 that you will see on the market.

Her owner has spared no cost in her upkeep and sails her regularly. She was built in 2003, but you would think she is brand new. She's never been chartered. No other boat on the market is outfitted better. No work needed. She is ready to set sail today!

She's sea-kindly and fitted out so that her owner can single-hand her, but roomy enough to sleep 6. She'd make a great cruising boat for a family, with a private aft-cabin and two separate heads. There is nothing that she lacks! Let's go see her!

Accommodations

The Beneteau attention to detail! The interior of this boat is warm, inviting, and comfortable. As with the rest of the boat, it feels like new. The owner has maintained her to the highest standards!

Upon entering at the companionway, wide and ergonomically-designed stairs take you right into the spacious main salon. The galley is to starboard, and features 2 refrigeration units as well as a freezer, double stainless sink, microwave, propane stove and oven, and a large amount of storage. You can walk aft through the galley to reach the spacious fully enclosed work area where the genset and watermaker are located, out of the way and easily reached for maintenance.

To port is a well-designed and large nav station, with a comfortable bench, access to all electronics, and plenty of storage. The aft head and the aft stateroom, featuring a large double bed are located just aft of the nav station.

A generous rounded dinette table, with seating for 8, graces the starboard side, and to port is a settee with storage underneath. There is ample storage for extended cruising aboard this boat.

The forward head is to starboard and the forward cabin is unique in that it features a centerline queen bed, with full walk-around space.

This is an extremely well-thought-out boat! Come see her today!
