Beneteau
Cyclades 43
We reply within 2-3 days.
In broker listings, the model is titled simply Cyclades 43, even though the sheet and the same overview already whisper Cyclades 43.3 (Berret-Racoupeau, 2007-2010, LOA 13.26 m, beam 4.43 m, displacement about 8 980 kg). On the same platform sits Cyclades 43.4 with four cabins; 43.3 has three. While the title lacks that fork, you are choosing a series name, not a layout, and you can easily compare a listing with someone else's 43.4.
The model is a French Beneteau charter-volume cruiser: LWL 12.39 m, LOD 12.94 m, draft about 1.90 m, ballast about 2 900 kg, dual wheels. The same hull was also sold as Moorings 43.3. Live sheet numbers are already close - we do not overwrite them with a Nordic seed. We do not invent an asking price. The oceanis-38 journal is not rewritten in this pass.

Pre-purchase survey checklist
Neighbors Oceanis 40/38 are not cloned here: first fix the title to the 43.3/43.4 fork.
Expert verdict
FairHelm rating: 6.8/10: Charter-focused model prioritizing volume and simplicity over performance and luxury finish. Key issues are heavy charter-exit wear and lower-quality standard hardware and systems.
