Beneteau Oceanis 42CC “La Perla” (2002)
La Perla offers an excellent opportunity to own a carefully maintained Beneteau Oceanis 42CC. Built in 2002, she stands out for her condition, reflecting attentive ownership and thoughtful upgrades throughout.
On deck, the teak remains well preserved and visually appealing. Below, the cherry wood interior shows beautifully, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. As a result, the yacht feels both comfortable and refined for extended time aboard.
She is powered by the respected Yanmar 56hp diesel engine, which has logged just 1,682 hours. The engine has received regular servicing and delivers reliable, economical performance. Consequently, she is well suited to long-distance cruising.
Since 2017, La Perla has cruised the Mediterranean for several months each year. During this time, she has proven herself as a capable and enjoyable liveaboard cruiser. Moreover, her centre cockpit layout provides excellent protection and confidence at sea.
Her inventory includes new sails, a modern chart plotter with AIS, and upgraded navigation instruments. In addition, she features Webasto heating, a bow thruster, davits, and extensive cruising equipment. A full canvas cockpit tent further enhances the yacht by effectively doubling the usable living space.
With her comfortable two-cabin layout, strong cruising record, and generous specification, La Perla is ready to sail without delay. She represents a compelling balance of quality, comfort, and value for discerning sailors.
