Beneteau Oceanis 473 Clipper for sale. “Laylay” presents an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking a well‑maintained, lightly used yacht with a documented history of careful ownership.
Powered by a 100 HP Yanmar diesel engine showing just 1,615 hours, she reflects consistent mechanical care. Her interior stands out with original wooden cabinetry and upholstery, all preserved in excellent condition
After completing the 2005 ARC and arriving in the Caribbean, she was based in Trinidad, where her first owners sailed her only a few months each year until 2015. From 2015 to 2022, “Laylay” benefited from professional guardianship while stored on the hard. She remained fully covered, protected by a complete deck cover, and kept dry with a portable air‑conditioning system. Her sails were removed, cleaned, and stored in a climate‑controlled loft throughout this period, ensuring minimal wear.
Purchased in 2022 by her second and current owner—who has never lived aboard—“Laylay” has since been actively but responsibly sailed throughout the Eastern Caribbean.
Overall, she represents a rare combination of low usage, meticulous care, and preserved originality, making her an attractive choice for buyers seeking a yacht with pedigree and excellent condition.
