2005 Beneteau 473 Oceanis Clipper - Pied-à-Mer
***** LLC OWNED *****
This exceptional cruiser is beautifully equipped with everything needed for extended offshore adventures. The current owners have invested over $125,000 in the past five years making Pied-à-Mer ready for extended bluewater cruising, with a focus on self-sufficiency, comfort, and reliability. This represents exceptional value for the next owner who inherits these thoughtful, high-quality upgrades without the wait or additional expense.
Imagine cruising across the most beautiful blue water in complete connection with all that is in this extraordinary vessel. She includes her own watermaker, solar energy generating panels, new refrigeration, climate control, additional fuel tank, generator, heavy weather ground tackle, and much more.
Space, elegance, light, and speed: a real performance-cruiser to sail the seas in unaccustomed comfort, even if shorthanded. She has been meticulously maintained with numerous significant upgrades, including:
