Grand Bleu is a New Zealand new, one owner Beneteau 523, and she represents exceptional value for a vessel of this size and outfit. Her owners have commissioned and speced the yacht for extended cruising so she has all the bells and whistles. She is well set up for short-handed cruising with leisure furl boom furling, cut rig, electric winches and bow thruster. The large, teak laid cockpit is sheltered by a well-designed hard top, providing good protection while at anchor or on a extended passage. Maintenance has always been priority, and this shows with her stunning blue hull which was repainted in 2020. Luxurious and spacious, the accommodation is provided in 3 double berth cabins with an island master forward. All cabins have ensuite head and shower.
A striking yacht seriously on the market.
