Beneteau was founded in 1884 in Saint Gilles Croix de Vie, France, by Benjamin Beneteau, who originally built innovative fishing boats designed to return to port faster and more efficiently than others of the era. Over the last 140 years, the company has grown into one of the most influential yacht builders in the world, becoming synonymous with elegant design, advanced naval engineering, and dependable performance at sea. From pioneering some of the region’s earliest engine powered boats to helping modernize recreational sailing, Beneteau has consistently combined innovation with craftsmanship while maintaining a strong focus on comfort and life on the water. Today, Beneteau yachts are admired globally for their heritage, quality construction, and remarkable versatility, with many models successfully completing long distance offshore voyages and ocean crossings around the world.

The Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 423 was designed during one of Beneteau’s most celebrated eras of yacht production, when the Oceanis line became known for redefining modern cruising comfort. Created by renowned naval architects Jean Marie Finot and Pascal Conq, the 423 quickly earned recognition for its blend of spacious living, strong sailing performance, and elegant proportions. Built with extended cruising in mind, the yacht offers generous accommodations, exceptional storage, and a layout that feels remarkably open and welcoming for a vessel of its size. Its refined wood interior, expansive cockpit, and stable handling make it equally suited for entertaining, coastal cruising, or extended offshore adventures. Designed for serious travel on the water, the Oceanis Clipper 423 is capable of comfortably sailing thousands of nautical miles with the right preparation and crew.

This particular Oceanis Clipper 423 was built at Beneteau's home yard in Calais, France, and has spent nearly her entire life in freshwater, logging over two decades on Lake Michigan under her most recent long-term owner before passing to her current one. She's had just three private owners since new, and it shows, she's the kind of boat that's been loved rather than worked hard. The Yanmar 4JH4E diesel turns a conventional shaft drive and service was never skipped, oil changes and maintenance were kept on schedule.. Her sails, a furling headsail and self-stowing mainsail, were replaced within the last two years, and the current owner has since added new cushions throughout in fresh foam and Sunbrella fabric along with a custom-built canvas cover. A pre-purchase survey was completed in 2024 and is available to serious buyers. This is a well-documented, well-loved boat being sold reluctantly, not out of neglect.
