Broker's comments:
This Oceanis 48 stands out as one of the most attractive opportunities on the market, having been meticulously maintained to the highest standards by a highly experienced owner. Recent upgrades include a Flexofold folding propeller, which has delivered a notable improvement in sailing performance. It is also worth emphasizing that this is the owner’s third yacht, and the level of care and attention invested in this boat is immediately evident upon inspection.
The Oceanis 48 is one of Beneteau’s most popular models, marking the era when the shipyard introduced its now-classic platform. At this size and within this price range, it set the standard and became a market leader in its class.
