The Oceanis 473 is a sail boat from Beneteau. Founded in 1884 at Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie as a fishing-boat yard, Beneteau is the largest sailing-boat manufacturer in the world and the centre of a group that also owns Jeanneau, Lagoon, Prestige and Excess. It specialises in production cruising yachts - the Oceanis range - and the First line of cruiser-racers. The hull measures about 14.3 metres. It sleeps up to 10.
Adriavela lists 6 boats of this model. They were built between 2001 and 2008, so the layout and the equipment differ from one hull to the next. The hulls here carry 3 to 5 cabins and 8 to 10 berths.
They leave from bases up and down the coast, Marina Delta Kallithea, Marina di Nettuno and Marina Portorosa among them. A 7-day charter starts at €1,592, which is €227 a day. 1 of them are quoted on request. A monohull of this size takes a full crew and still handles like a sailing boat, which is what most skippered weeks on this coast are booked for.
