Tiffany Nicole is a 2011 Beneteau Oceanis 43 that is fully equipped, proven offshore, and genuinely ready to sail away today. She has been set up as a turn key cruising home with the systems, gear, and reliability that make life on the water easy and comfortable. This boat has been exceptionally well maintained and shows the kind of care that only comes from thousands of real miles under an attentive owner. She is a great choice for a family, a couple, or a single handed sailor, and would also make an excellent first cruising yacht thanks to her forgiving handling and well designed layout.
This model is known for its generous interior volume, bright spaces, and practical layout. The galley offers six feet nine inches of headroom and plenty of room to move, cook, and live aboard comfortably. Throughout the boat you feel the sense of space that makes the Oceanis line so popular for long term cruising. Tiffany Nicole is currently in the southern Caribbean, already in a perfect location to begin cruising the islands or to stage for an ocean passage. She comes well equipped with a portable generator, Starlink system, tools, extra parts, even a paddleboard, all the gear that makes her genuinely ready to go on day one.
The current owner has sailed this boat more than eight thousand nautical miles, including over seven thousand five hundred miles single handed. She has crossed the Atlantic from the Mediterranean and has proven to be comfortable, dependable, and easy to sail without drama. She is fully set up for solo operation so there is no need to leave the cockpit while underway. The systems on board support long stays on the hook with solar, a generator, a water maker, and Starlink internet providing a complete off grid cruising package.
Her navigation and electronics are modern, reliable, and recently updated. Equipment includes a Raymarine ST7000 plus autopilot with a new cockpit display, Raymarine depth and wind instruments, a twelve inch Raymarine chartplotter, Raymarine digital radar, and Sailserver for automatic electronic logging, live tracking, and anchor alert even when you are away from the boat. Starlink Gen2 internet and a 2024 AIS transceiver complete the setup.
Her sail handling gear is well laid out with an in mast furling main, a roller furling genoa, a mainsheet traveler, a 2023 mainsail, and a 2019 Quantum genoa. Four quality Harken winches give you plenty of power and control. Ground tackle and anchoring equipment include a reliable windlass with a wireless remote.
Safety and mechanical systems include hydraulic dual helms, an engine room blower, manual and electric bilge pumps, an emergency bilge pump rated at fifteen hundred gallons per hour, two fire extinguishers, two fire blankets, and an emergency tiller.
Tiffany Nicole is a truly ready boat with the right upgrades, the right gear, and a proven offshore track record. She is an ideal choice for anyone looking for an honest cruising yacht that can be sailed tomorrow.

Owners Comments and Boat History
SV Tiffany Nicole is ready to sail away. Turn key sailboat, very well maintained, liveaboard for a family, couple or single person. Excellent first boat being she is so easy to sail. This model is very spacious with 6'-9'' headroom in galley, room to move around and enjoy your time aboard.
The boat is currently located in Grenada, in the south Caribbean. Everything on the boat will stay with the boat other than personal belongings; paddleboard, generator, starlink, tools, extra parts, cleaners... everything stays.
I have set this boat up for solo sailing and you never need to leave the cockpit while at sea and I have sailed this boat over 8000nm in the past year (over 7500nm solo), including crossing the Atlantic from the Mediterranean, very easy and comfortable to sail and absolutely no issues.
Tiffany Nicole is set up to stay/live on anchor or mooring, with the water maker, solar, generator power, and Starlink internet you have everything you need.
