A medium-sized sailing yacht suitable for sailing enthusiasts who do not want to compromise on comfort and privacy. Some Oceanis 43 models offer a furling mainsail, others a classic spar mainsail. For sailing enthusiasts, we definitely recommend the classic sail, as it holds its shape better in less wind and offers more trim controls.
Capacity and equipment
The boat's capacity oscillates between 6 and 10 people, depending on the certification and layout of the particular vessel. Most of these boats have three to four staterooms with two to three bathrooms, which will guarantee enough space for weekly and bi-weekly cruises.
This sailing boat is suitable for a group of friends who want to enjoy a sailing trip, as well as for families with children going slowly around the islands in the Mediterranean, swimming and relaxing. We prefer to point out, however, that some pieces have only bunk beds instead of a full cabin with beds. This is ideal for children, but some adult crew members might not be entirely comfortable.
On most Oceanis 43 sailboats you'll find comfort amenities like an additional dinghy, fridge, sprayhood (fabric cockpit covering) and heater. Some models also have a bow thruster (docking device) for easier rounding in the marina, a television for long evenings, or solar panels for alternative energy.
