Deck & Hull
"The European styling of the 473 is most evident from the stern: it's as wide as you'll find in anything short of an Open 60. There are twin steering wheels and lots of room between them in the very spacious cockpit. The cockpit is big enough to have a dinner party in, and Beneteau takes advantage of this with a new patented, removable cockpit table." - David McCreary

Comments

The Beneteau 473 is a comfortable, efficient and nice sailing modern cruiser. It has evolved from a long line of proven and successful Beneteau cruisers in the 44-47' range. It has an extremely spacious and comfortable two stateroom interior with a huge salon and lots of room to relax, entertain and cruise or liveaboard. This 473 is extremely well equipped with full furling bow thruster, generator, great electronics and full canvas. Its original owner is a very experienced yachtsman and maintains this 473 very well.
