2005 Beneteau Oceanis 523

The 2005 Beneteau Oceanis 523 is a 52-foot fiberglass cruising yacht built for extended passages and comfortable coastal exploration. Powered by a Yanmar 4-cylinder diesel engine producing 100 horsepower, she cruises at 8 knots and offers the proven seaworthiness and design that define the Oceanis line.

The interior arranges three cabins and three heads across a well-proportioned layout, with warm wood surfaces and trim throughout. The design prioritizes livability for extended cruising, with generous cabin spaces and functional head compartments.

Recent upgrades center on energy independence and navigation: new lithium batteries support off-grid capability, complemented by a wind generator, solar panels, and a 10KW Onan generator. A high-output alternator manages charging underway. New Garmin electronics provide modern navigation with efficient power management, reflecting a systematic approach to systems modernization and long-distance readiness.
