Description

The Beneteau Oceanis 323 is the perfect family cruiser. However, the boat has a very good turn of speed due to her hulls’ racing pedigree.

'Alisha' has been meticulously maintained in her current ownership, this shows in her brilliant cosmetic condition. Her striking blue hull stands out from the crowd. With tiller steering, this responsive and light boat is comfortable and fun to sail with a very spacious cockpit. Sleeping six in two double cabins and two single saloon berths, you can enjoy cruising on board together. She has benefited from extensive maintenance and upgrade works in recent years including comprehensive engine works, with a new cutlass bearing, reconditioned injectors and new engine mounts in 2023.

Alisha also has a new Chart plotter and a Vesper AIS receiver and transponder which compliments her other instruments.

A truly special example of the Oceanis 323, immaculate and ready to sail!

Engine(s)

Alisha has a Volvo Penta MD2020D. This is a lovely engine and more than enough to push this yacht to hull speed. The engine has a full service each winter and then an extra oil change each summer.

The engine had new mounts, reconditioned injectors, new cutlass bearing, new coolant and the tappets were adjusted last year. This was in addition to a full service. The engine has done around 1650 hrs.
