Description

A 2005 43 Beneteau Cyclades lying in Ponce Inlet, Florida, this capable cruiser presents with super nice dual helms paired to a single spade rudder and a stable fin bulb keel for confident handling underway. Protection and comfort in the cockpit are exceptional thanks to a huge stainless-steel fixed cockpit cover, a bimini top and dodger in good condition, new eisenglass, and cockpit sun screens, complemented by cockpit cushions and a cockpit table. The sail plan is easily managed with a furling jib and a fully battened mainsail with sailcover and lazy jacks, while an E‑Wincher electric winch handle, new in box, stands ready to add powered trimming at a moment’s notice. Below, the three-cabin layout offers three bathrooms with showers, with the showers not separate, all kept comfortable by air conditioning. The galley has been thoughtfully updated with a new cooktop and a new electric Ninja 14‑1 oven, and cold stores are generous with a top-load fridge and a portable freezer that doubles as the nav-table seat. Power autonomy comes from solar panels rated at 960 amps feeding a Victron MultiPlus 2 3000 and a lithium battery bank of 920 amp-hours. On deck, ground tackle is robust with an electric windlass, 3/8 chain measuring 150' and a Rocna anchor, while davits and a new West Marine RIB with a 15 hp Yamaha outboard extend your cruising reach. Safety and practicality include both electric and manual bilge pumps, a VHF radio at the nav table complemented by a portable set outside, a stereo system/CD player with cockpit speakers, a boarding ramp, and a walk‑through transom with a swim platform and swim ladder. Electronics are by Raymarine with the chart plotter reported good, other displays currently inoperable, and the autopilot inoperative. Recently inspected by the US Coast Guard and showing a bridge clearance of 60'7", this Cyclades is powered by a Yanmar 54 hp 4JHE with a complete overhaul in July 2023, making it a ready companion for coastal passages and island-hopping adventures.

Shore power inlet and an inverter underpin the electrical system, complemented by a battery charger and the solar array for quiet autonomy. The electronics suite includes a radar detector, wind speed and direction, a navigation center with plotter, autopilot, radio, compass, GPS, VHF, and a flat-screen TV; note that the Raymarine chart plotter is reported in good working order, other displays are inoperable, and the autopilot is currently inoperative. Inside, daily living is supported by an electric bilge pump with a manual backup, air conditioning, hot water, an oven, a refrigerator and deep freezer. Outside, you’ll appreciate the cockpit shower, gangway, davits, radar reflector, solar panel, cockpit cushions, a cockpit table, and a swimming ladder.
