Beneteau 523 (2006), designed by Groupe Finot, is a well-proven blue-water cruising yacht with an excellent reputation for reliability and offshore capability. Below deck she is bright and spacious, with a well-laid-out interior ideal for extended cruising. This one-owner example has been well maintained and is presented in very good condition, clearly reflecting the care it has received throughout its life. A few optional upgrades could further enhance her, giving a new owner the opportunity to tailor the yacht to their preferences.
