Vessel Walkthrough
(2 cabin, 1 head)
Starting in the forward cabin is a double V-berth with hanging lockers to port and starboard and aft of the bed, as well as shelves above the bed on each side and a changing area aft.
Aft of the forward cabin in the main salon is a U-shaped settee to port surrounding the drop leaf dining table and a single linear settee to starboard for additional seating. Above the settees are shelved units for storage. Aft of the dining area to port is the L shaped galley with ample workspace most forward followed by the sinks and stove most aft. There is a large side opening fridge and freezer located below the work surfaces forward in the galley area as well as large cabinets outboard for storage of galley ware.
To starboard and opposite the galley is the aft facing navigation station. This area includes the breaker panel and some of the electronics and uses the after end of the salon settee as the navigators seat.
Aft of the navigation station is the single head unit with toilet forward, facing aft, and the sink basin aft and outboard. There is a separate seat included in the separate shower stall aft of the sink basin, this whole area being much more spacious than larger Beneteaus generally enjoy.
The aft cabin provides a truly impressive queen sized berth with a hanging locker to port as well as plenty of changing area and headroom. Due to her two cabin configuration there is an enormous full depth starboard lazarette locker that allows storage of very large items such as sails and dinghy as may be required.

Sought after “Owners” two cabin version with 6 berths in total. Spacious master aft cabin, extremely well proportioned heads with shower, and ample headroom throughout.
Designed by Berret/Racoupeau, the Beneteau 343 is targeted to appeal to the discerning owner who wishes to find a finely finished yacht at an attractive investment level. Featuring more volume, a bigger interior, and better performance than it's predecessor the Beneteau 331. The 343 provides standard features that few sailboats of her size offer, including a separate stall shower.
Construction
Hull of hand-laid solid GRP bonded to a structural grid/hull liner of directional fiberglass/GRP for a strong, stiff, light composite. Vinylester hull barrier coat to resist osmotic blistering and zone-specific stitchmat laminates for specific increased strength optimization. Cored GRP sandwich construction for stiffness, thermal and acoustic insulation and lighter weight. Solid fiberglass reinforcements in high load areas. Integral unidirectional GRP deck beams for added strength. Main bulkheads bonded 360° to the hull and deck for rigid torsional and compressive streng
