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!

We take pride in our happy customers

My wife and I worked with Andrew Hodgdon to sell our 2021 FP Elba 45. In addition to skillfully carrying out the traditional yacht broker responsibilities, Andrew went above-and-beyond to ensure that we were well-positioned to sell in a competitive market. For example, Andrew helped out with much-appreciated repairs and hurricane prep, among other things. Trustworthy, intelligent, and conscientious, Andrew’s communications with us and the buyer were always thoughtful and forward-thinking, and fairly represented our interests.

We really lucked out in connecting with The Multihull Company. We made a cold call to Cynthia Wummer, a Multihull Company broker and told her we wanted to buy a catamaran to cruise The Great Loop and experience the Bahamas. We particularly wanted a PDQ power catamaran. From our first contact she was so helpful and responsive. She immediately contacted a selling broker who represented a prospective seller. Because we are new to a bigger boat and boating on the ICW, Cynthia assisted us through the entire process. She is a captain which was an added bonus to the process; she knew all the right questions to ask the selling broker as well as the surveyor. She drove 3 hours to be present during the survey, she developed a good relationship with the selling broker, she called and checked in with us regularly, was very enthusiastic about our purchase, and answered all our questions. We could not have done it without her. The Multlihull Company support team, Andrew Holland and Courtney Greider, were so helpful in the closing process: the paperwork was easy to complete and communication was smooth and timely. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Multihull Company and Cynthia to anyone who is the market for a boat large or small. Thank you!!!!

Communication occurred at every level and constructive advise was always given. They know this business inside and out and acted as my fiduciary in every way. I will use them again for their service and knowledge.
