The introduction of the Beneteau 423 in 2003 generated considerable excitement in the sailing community. Building on the success of the highly regarded Beneteau 473, the new model quickly earned praise from the sailing press, including Cruising World's "Best Midsize Cruiser Under $250,000" award. It has since become one of Beneteau's most popular designs.
Carpe Ventum is a lightly used and well-maintained example that has been cared for since new. With her shoal draft, she is ideally suited for shallow anchorages or a comfortable passage under the bridges of the Intracoastal Waterway- and is ready for the upcoming cruising season!

Below deck, Carpe Ventum features a two-cabin / 2-head layout with a single aft cabin to port. The owner’s stateroom is forward and includes a centerline double berth with a settee to port.

The saloon is spacious, with the interior pushed out to the hull sides. To starboard is a U-shaped dinette with all-around seating, lockers with louvered doors outboard, and a bookshelf on the bulkhead. Opposite to port is a settee with additional storage above and behind.
The galley, located to starboard, includes Corian counters with hardwood fiddles, a three-burner Force 10 stove and oven, front- and top-loading 12-volt refrigeration, and a built-in microwave locker. Storage is available in overhead lockers above the stove and drawers below.
The joiner work is finished in cherry-stained varnish with a teak-and-holly laminated cabin sole. Overhead skylight hatches provide natural light, and numerous opening ports and hatches ensure excellent ventilation. The headliner is white vinyl, supported by removable wood battens.
