Beneteau 40 "Southern Belle" is available just in time for the 2025 cruising season. Fresh out of the "Spa" at CSR Marine South, she has new Bottom Paint, fresh Zincs, hull sides Buffed and Waxed, and Engine Serviced. This beautifully maintained vessel is equipped with newer Raymarine Navigation, AIS  and Radar, an Iverson Dodger and Bimini, 9'10" Achilles tender w/6 Horse Mercury 4 stroke outboard, Webasto diesel Furnace, Renogy Solar panels, and comfortable accommodations for two couples in two private staterooms. Sail handling is made easy with an electric winch for raising or reefing the mainsail. If you are looking for a pristine boat that's ready to go, this is it. 

The Beneteau 40 combines performance, comfort and good looks in one package. It's small and nimble enough to be handled by a couple but large enough to accommodate two couples or a family of four for an extended period. There's not much this boat can't do well.

As an added bonus, while the boat was hauled and after the bottom work was completed, there was an out of water survey performed by GAP Consulting, Marine Surveyor so a buyer will not need to haul the boat again, saving a haulout fee. 

I sold this boat to the current owners (her second) in 2008 when it was just three months old. The first owners bought it specifically for one short cruise and then sold it, so we know the entire history of the vessel. The boat has never been grounded and has never been in a collision.
