Beneteau 42' 423

The Beneteau Oceanis 423 has been one of the most successful models of cruising sailboats in the 42-foot class since earning Cruising World Boat of the Year honors in 2004. Designed by Groupe Finot, the 423 brings robust sailing performance, luxury accommodations belowdecks, and sizeable tankage for longer-duration passages. Constructed of solid fiberglass below the waterline and balsa cored elsewhere, the 423 is built to take you wherever you want to go—from serious offshore passagemaking, to coastal cruising.

Perfect Day ³ is a sought-after 2-cabin owner’s version of the 423. This creates a large L-shaped galley below and to starboard with the right balance of counterspace, storage, and refrigerator and freezer size. A proper navigation table provides access to systems monitors, communication and entertainment equipment, and a duplicate B&G plotter for easier passage planning.

The large salon is bright and airy with crisp, leatherette upholstery throughout. A private aft cabin with head and shower will please your guests or cruising companions, while the forward owner’s stateroom features a centerline island berth, plenty of hanging and drawer storage, and an enclosed private head with separate shower.

Professionally maintained and only sailed in freshwater, Perfect Day³ boasts an impressive list of upgrades and improvements that make this not only a turnkey cruiser, but a boat fully equipped to go anywhere right now.
