Beneteau Introduces The New 43

Designed to complete the line-up of the next generation of Beneteaus, the new Beneteau 43 takes its place along with the very recent Beneteau 40, 46 and 49. All four of these exceptional yachts have been launched in production at the Beneteau USA plant in Marion, SC within the past 12 months, which is believed to be a record for the number of annual introductions for an American builder of large luxury sailboats.

With a strong resemblance in their eye-catching profile, this four-boat range has a modern, elegant style by naval architects Berret/Racoupeau working in collaboration with Nauta Design, the wonders from Milan, Itlay known for startling, mega yacht palaces. While quite striking, Berret also insured that all the hallmarks of a great sailor are present; with a hull possessing fine form stability and an ample sailplan to make her perform.

The interior welcomes with Nauta’s clean, open lines, inviting perspectives and posh flair. The Beneteau 43 offers the option of two layouts with two or three staterooms and up to two heads with showers. The accommodations of this voluminous 43-footer contains all the comforts expected from a sailing yacht with serious cruising ambitions; abundant stowage spaces and shelves, comfortable seating, secure deck areas and an ergonomic cockpit. Everything has been conceived to make the Beneteau 43 a balanced, seaworthy performance cruiser possessing versatility to allow it to handle coastal navigation in complete ease or to provide unforgettable experiences offshore in secure safety.
