Rarely does the appearance of a new model create as much excitement as this one. Following in the footsteps of the successful Beneteau 473, the Beneteau 423 has been enamoring sailors from coast to coast. Designed by the famous Groupe Finot, naval architects with more production yachts afloat than any other design firm, the Beneteau 423 has both brawn and beauty. She is built to sail confidently in any sea, yet lacks nothing in comfort or beauty.
Below decks, she is all Beneteau with incredible detail to quality woodwork and liveaboard comfort. Above, she touts the finest in marine hardware, innovative features, and a design that makes single or double handed sailing a breeze. And only Beneteau, the world’s largest manufacturer of sailboats, could create such an impressive performance cruiser at such an unbelievable value.
This is a yacht built with her owners’ comfort in mind. She may be all strength and performance above, but below decks, she’s all light and beauty. Down the companionway steps, you’ll discover an imaginative interior design that will delight the most demanding cruising sailor.
This 3-Cabin layout will comfortably sleep 8 people. In the forward master cabin, there’s a comfortable centerline berth with owner’s mattress and sitting area. A private master head features a true stall shower. In the salon, entertaining at the dock or cruising with style is carefree with her classic layout and abundant storage. The full length galley to port features a 3-burner stove, top loading refrigerator with divided freezer, and ample room to provision for long cruises or stocking up for a great dockside party. The aft two cabins each have double berths with hanging locker and storage and a shared head with shower. In addition the "convertible dinette" that lowers to create a 4th double berth.
