Step aboard this 2009 Beneteau Cyclades 43.3 -a blend of performance, comfort, and style. Crafted in France, Beneteau's Cyclades line is renowned for its seaworthiness and convenience. The double helms improve efficiency and comfort during maneuvers with all sail controls near the helm in the spacious cockpit.

Design & Comfort

Step below deck and you’ll discover a thoughtfully designed interior, bathed in natural light, with generous headroom (6’ 8”) and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The main salon features ample seating, a convertible dinette, and a navigation station. The galley is fully equipped with a two-burner propane stove, oven, refrigerator, stainless steel sink and abundant storage for extended journeys.

There are three private cabins—one forward owner’s cabin with ensuite access, and two aft guest cabins. All cabins are appointed with comfortable cushions and ample locker space. Three heads ensure privacy and convenience for crew and guests alike, each with wash basins, manual heads and showers.

The cockpit is spacious, shaded by a bimini top, and offers comfortable seating for six. Dual helms allow for optimal sightlines, and the cockpit table makes a perfect spot for alfresco dining while at anchor. Wide side decks and a walk-through transom facilitate easy movement and boarding.
