2023 Beneteau Oceanis 60

CADUCEUS is an outstanding and ‘like new’ example of the Beneteau Oceanis 60 with naval architecture from Biscontini Yacht Design and interior and exterior design from Lorenzo Argento. She was the first of her kind to find her way to US waters and as such was outfitted with all the right kit. 

This contemporary yacht is easy on the eye, easily driven, easy to handle and a delight to sail. With responsive twin wheels and rudders and the standard deeper draft keel she spins on a dime and accelerates out of a turn with purpose! The genoa can be rigged for self-tacking or led to tracks and winches for additional sheeting angles and performance. A built-in bow sprit and plumb bow are perfect for flying the Code-0. Electric 2-speed winches, a retractable cockpit bimini providing excellent sightlines to the mainsail, electronics at both helms, autopilot; in-mast furling; retractable stern thruster; Williams jet tender- even a hydraulic extendable passarelle for stern-to docking with self-deploying stanchions and lifelines- all to enhance fun and ease of use! 

Living and cruising aboard are luxurious with optional modern amenities such as a water maker, wine cooler, ice maker, extra freezer space, underwater lights and full cockpit enclosure. Comfort is further enhanced with features like stand-up refrigeration in the galley, electric convertible cockpit tables and sunbeds, cockpit refrigeration, sun pads on the foredeck as well as under the dodger and a push-button fold-down transom with tender garage. All powered by an 11.5kW generator with ample air conditioning and reverse cycle heat. 

Safety is also prioritized with a Flir mast-mounted night vision camera; Raymarine Clear Cruise; AIS transmit and receive and a full complement of safety gear for offshore use including life raft, MOB module etc. 

And let us not forget aesthetics, enhanced by handsome charcoal grey canvas, generous hull ports, grey boot and cove stripe and optional teak decking from stem to stern. Bravo! 

CADUCEUS and her owner just completed a delivery up the US East Coast from Charleston, SC to Newport RI - riding the Gulf Stream around Cape Hatteras all the while fishing, stargazing, crafting great meals and generally having a grand time with 200nm days in the log. We invite your inspection of this sparkling sailing machine, priced competitively and presented in true ‘sail away’ condition.
