2005 Beneteau Oceanis “Clipper” 523 – EU VAT Paid

This 2005 Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 523 (built December 2004/commissioned March 2005) Owner's Version is a remarkable example of one of Beneteau's most respected bluewater cruising yachts. She combines exceptional sailing performance, luxurious accommodation, and extensive recent upgrades, making her ready for immediate cruising.

EU VAT has been paid, and the yacht has benefited from significant investment over the last few years, including new standing rigging (2023/2024), a navigation upgrade, new solar panels, renewed batteries, new through-hull valves, and numerous mechanical and cosmetic improvements.

Owner's Version with a spacious 3-cabin, 3-ensuite layout, featuring a full-beam forward owner's cabin and two generous aft guest cabins, each with private facilities. A separate bow crew cabin with a double berth and head provides additional accommodation for crew or guests.

Currently lying in Preveza, Greece, she is ideally positioned for cruising the Ionian Islands and the Eastern Mediterranean.
