Beneteau 473 with 3 cabins and 2 heads
 
2001 Rafiki / 2006 La Joie De Vivre

 

The Beneteau 473 boasts more features and creature comforts than ever before in a boat this size and was awarded 2001 Boat of the Year.

Below decks is very well ventilated and ergonomically designed with fine woodworking throughout. Her luxurious main saloon provides a very comfortable living space for entertaining and dining. The forward stateroom is very roomy and the aft cabins are some of the largest on a production monohull, all cabins offer loads of storage space.

The L-shaped galley is located aft of the saloon and features excellent storage with generous elbow room. The dinette converts to an extra double berth which sleeps two additional charter guests, if desired.

Rafiki's cockpit is huge and features double wheels (no need to wiggle around the helm). The high bow keeps the spray out of the cockpit giving exhilarating but comfortable sailing.
