Description

This 2006 Beneteau Oceanis 523 is a 52-foot sloop-rigged cruising sailboat finished in a striking dark navy blue hull with crisp white deck and coachroof. The fiberglass hull presents in good condition with a smooth, damage-free gelcoat finish, while the standard wire standing rigging, complete with backstay, forestay, and shrouds, supports a single mast fitted with a VHF whip antenna and wind speed/direction sensor. The boom-furled mainsail is protected by a dark navy canvas cover, and a blue canvas bimini shades the cockpit helm area for comfortable passages in any weather. Below deck, the Oceanis 523 offers a warm and inviting saloon finished with mahogany-toned woodwork throughout, kept in excellent gloss condition with no visible wear. Light gray tweed settee cushions wrap in a U-shape around a teak-finish drop-leaf dining table with a pedestal base, complemented by a bulkhead-mounted flat-screen TV and a clean white/cream molded headliner. Thoughtful touches like an open wooden shelving unit for provisions and playful throw pillows with pineapple and nautical stripe patterns give the interior a lived-in, welcoming feel, while the forward cabin's island double berth, topped with a gray paisley bedspread and cedar-toned headboard, sits beneath a bright overhead hatch for natural light and ventilation. The aft cabin provides a private double berth accessed via wooden steps, ideal for guests or crew, and the entire interior is tidy, well-organized, and shows no signs of staining or damage on any of the cushions or headliner surfaces. This Oceanis 523 combines classic Beneteau cruising comfort with a well-maintained interior and exterior, making it a strong choice for buyers seeking a spacious, turnkey sailing yacht ready for coastal or offshore adventures.
