Description
2012 Beneteau 43 “Vision 360”
One Owner • Never Chartered • 3 Cabin / 2 Head • Turn-Key Cruiser
🎥 See Video Tour at the Bottom of This Listing
“Vision 360” is a one-owner, never-chartered 2012 Beneteau 43, proudly built in South Carolina, USA, and thoughtfully outfitted for extended cruising or comfortable liveaboard use. With her desirable 3-cabin / 2-head layout, custom solar arch with davits, full cockpit enclosure, and proven Yanmar power, she represents an outstanding value in a capable, owner-ready cruising sailboat.
Well maintained and sensibly equipped, “Vision 360” offers the perfect balance of easy handling, interior comfort, and offshore reliability. Her shallow 5’5” draft makes her ideal for coastal cruising, the Bahamas, and island hopping, while in-mast furling and all lines led aft keep sailing simple and manageable.
Currently lying in Port Salerno near Stuart, Florida, she is perfectly positioned for a winter in the Bahamas or a southbound Caribbean passage.
