Phantom - Beneteau

The Beneteau 473 stands as a remarkable choice for those seeking a versatile cruising yacht. Crafted with precision, it boasts a spacious and inviting interior, a manageable draft of 5' 7", and an air draft of approximately 63', making it ideal for ICW navigation. In the 44' to 50' yacht category, it's challenging to find a vessel that matches the 473's offerings for under $200,000.

Phantom, currently located in Michigan, has been meticulously maintained by its two owners. Acquired by the present owner in 2020 in South Carolina, it was relocated to Michigan after receiving a fresh light khaki hull paint. This yacht has been sailed in fresh water during the season and stored on land each winter, with the cockpit shrink-wrapped and the mast unstepped. Each spring, the mast undergoes inspection and cleaning before Phantom is set to sail again.
