A Beautifully Presented Family Cruiser, Turn Key for 2026

Alisha is a superb example of the ever popular Beneteau Oceanis 323 – a yacht renowned for its balance of comfortable cruising, enjoyable sailing performance, and practical family-friendly layout. Thoughtfully cared for by her current owner, Alisha is offered for sale in exceptional condition and is ready to sail away immediately.

Her striking blue hull is an instant head turner in any marina and perfectly reflects the pride taken in her upkeep. This attention to detail hasn’t gone unnoticed either – Alisha has won her sailing club’s Concours d’Elegance for condition and presentation two years running, a rare accolade that speaks volumes about her cosmetic and mechanical standard.

Major Recent Upgrades

• New standing rigging – September 2025
• New professionally applied Coppercoat – September 2025, currently under guarantee
• Engine extensively serviced, including reconditioned injectors, new engine mounts and cutlass bearing
• Engine serviced September 2025
• Propeller serviced and all anodes renewed
• Hull polished with Awlcare; topsides cut and waxed

These significant works make Alisha an outstanding proposition for a new owner seeking peace of mind and low ongoing maintenance costs for years to come.

Comfortable & Sociable On Board

With tiller steering, Alisha is responsive and rewarding to sail, while remaining easy to handle. Her spacious cockpit is ideal for relaxed cruising and entertaining, offering excellent seating and a safe, open layout.

Below decks, the Oceanis 323’s clever design really comes into its own. Sleeping up to six, she features:

• Two comfortable double cabins
• Two additional saloon berths
• A light, airy interior with generous storage throughout

She has all the amenities needed for enjoyable weekends away or extended cruising with family and friends.


Modern Navigation & Electronics

• New chart plotter
• Vesper AIS receiver and transponder
• Comprehensive instrumentation package to support confident coastal cruising

Engine(s)

Alisha has a Volvo Penta MD2020D. This is a lovely engine and more than enough to push this yacht to hull speed. The engine has a full service each winter and then an extra oil change each summer.

The engine had new mounts, serviced injectors, a new cutlass bearing, new coolant and the tappets have been adjusted. This was in addition to a full service. A new exhaust elbow was fitted in 2018 which was checked and the first part of exhaust replaced in 2023. We had this done as was apart when the mountings were replaced, although not needed was done as preventative maintence. The engine has done around 1650 hrs.
