Remarks :
We are pleased to bring to market ‚Sylviane‘ a highly spec’d example of this rare to market Beneteau Oceanis 40 CC. Having been extensively upgraded by her current owners over the last 10+ years. She presents herself as a great opportunity to own a yacht with all the equipment needed for extended cruising.
With ample space and accommodation aboard for couples, family and friends along with her ability to offer hours of comfortable cruising means that we do not think she will be around for too long. Part 1 registered.

Owners remarks
My wife and I bought ‚Sylviane‘ in 2014 after retirement. She had all the qualities of a live-aboard boat which appealed as this was going to be our new venture with more time on our hands. After a season in Chichester Marina we sailed south west locating her in Falmouth fro two summers. We then sailed her around Brittany, and kept her in La Roche Bernard. She was the perfect boat to spend long summers, exploring the Biscay coast. We returned to Chichester in 2022.

‚Sylviane‘ is a beautiful yacht for cruising and staying aboard, with it’s spacious and elegant aft cabin. Guests find the forwards cabin and separate heads very comfortable and appealing. The raised saloon gives the sense of light, and the aft ’sun‘ deck is perfect for a G&T before dinner.

‚Sylviane‘ has a stylish profile, and has the combination of being sturdy but sails well, making 7-8 knots on a close reach. She is not tender, and takes waves well.

Please call us on 01243 550042 for more information and to book an appointment to view her.
