The Beneteau 432 (1987) is a spacious and solidly built cruiser, perfectly suited for extended voyages or full-time liveaboard life. It offers generous interior volume and a comfortable, open layout.
The boat features three double cabins, a large bathroom, and a versatile additional space that can serve as either storage or a second head. The saloon includes a convertible table for extra sleeping space.
The hull, deck, and mast are in excellent condition with no signs of osmosis, reflecting its careful maintenance.
The Isuzu Marine 43 HP engine was completely rebuilt in 2020, and the transmission was replaced in 2021, ensuring reliable mechanical performance.
This vessel is exceptionally well-equipped for off-grid cruising. The 660W solar array paired with a DEKA Gel Extreme battery bank and Victron MPPT controller provides full energy independence, with an additional dedicated panel for the starter battery.
Electronics include USB charging ports, Raymarine instruments, a Garmin display, and a hydraulic autopilot.
Rigging was fully replaced in 2019, and the sail inventory includes a furling genoa, mainsail, and storm sail.
Additional comfort features include a 200-liter electric fridge, a 30-liter water heater, TMC electric toilet with a bidet, new canvas and cushions, and a 900-liter freshwater capacity.
With a swim platform, davits, and extensive anchoring gear, this Beneteau 432 is a turn-key cruiser ready for serious sailing adventures or relaxed coastal living.
