Astraea | 2008 Beneteau 43

Bay Saint Louis, MS, US

About

Astraea was the goddess of innocence in Greek mythology, and her name means "star-maiden," evoking a sense of purity, grace, and celestial beauty. This Beneteau 43 is a stunning example of a high-performance cruiser, built to handle whatever the mighty Poseidon might throw her way. Known for her strong hull, exceptional stability, and seaworthy design, Astraea is ready to take on the open waters with ease and unmatched comfort. The current owners have taken meticulous care of her, using her lightly in the local Carolina waters while continuously upgrading and carefully maintaining her to ensure she remains in top condition, year after year. Their decision to sell comes with their retirement and relocation plans, as they prepare for the next exciting chapter in life. Astraea is now ready for her new owners to continue her journey across the seas. Whether you're seeking thrilling adventure or peaceful tranquility on the open water, Astraea is the perfect yacht for exploring new horizons and creating lasting memories.

Please inquire before she sails away without you!

    Working with Andrew Hodgdon at The MultiHull Company was a great experience. Andrew has years of experience in the multihull market, especially performence catamarans and was the Technical Director at Balance Catamarans for many years. He’s always available to talk, guide and advise. He’s easy to work with, is extremely knowledgeable, and has a very pleasant way about him. I would highly recommend Andrew to help in your sale or purchase of any multihull.

    Working with Will, Andrew Holland and Andrew Hodgdon to sell my Balance 442 was such a pleasure. No one knows multihulls as well as Andrew Hodgdon, especially performance cats like a Balance. As Technical Director of Balance for many years, Andrew knows all of the nuances of that type of boat, as well as the other brands in the category. If you want to sell or buy a catamaran, look no further than Andrew Hodgdon!
