Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 473

Meet Lola. She’s the kind of yacht that quietly racks up miles while others are still on the hard catching up on maintenance.

Well proven offshore and built for real-world passage making, Lola delivers safe, comfortable cruising with a layout that just makes sense. Solid sailing manners, a practical deck, and plenty of space below means life onboard stays easy whether you are coastal hopping or pointing the bow further offshore.

She’s been smartly upgraded too, with a brand new solar arch and high-lift davits making it a breeze to lift and lower the dinghy making life at anchor that much sweeter. Power comes from a 2024 new Yanmar 80hp with shaft drive, backed up by a bow thruster for stress-free marina manoeuvres.

Down below, the forward cabin has been opened right up, replacing the original bunk room with a light, spacious owner’s cabin settee that suits couples or young families perfectly. Need more berths later on? The layout can be reconfigured without drama.
Lola has a solid offshore track record and holds Category 1 safety certification, so she is more than just talk. The interior has been refreshed and is presented in very good condition, including new teak on the boarding step. A generous galley and excellent refrigeration make longer trips genuinely comfortable.

Built with a solid fibreglass hull, balsa-cored deck, cutter-style masthead rig with inner forestay, and a keel-stepped mast, she inspires confidence at sea. Wide bulwarked side decks and ample on-deck storage keep things safe, practical, and seamanlike.
