40' Beneteau 40CC

Yacht for sale now in Maine. Currently cruising the Midcoast and Penobscot Bay. Buy at a bargain price. Quick sale to take advantage of the rest of the Maine cruising season. Will soon be cruising south.

The 1996 Beneteau 40cc is a comfortable cruising sailboat perfectly suited to the east coast, ICW, Keys and Bahamas waters. The strong rig and roller furling
main and jib make it easy to handle while the center cockpit makes a wonderful at-anchor lounge spot. This example has been actively cruised the last five years by the retired couple who have now decided to go to weather by 747! Buy now and enjoy the rest of the Maine season and cruise south for your sailing dreams.

This is not a dock queen, nor a charter boat bunkhouse, but a comfortable on-the-water home with a small guest cabin (that communicates you welcome guests but for a limited time) that has the amenities for comfortable living while riding the weather rhythms to the Bahamas in the winter and Maine in the summer and Chesapeake Bay and Carolina Sounds in the shoulder seasons. The current owners have anchored under the Statue of Liberty, cruised the Chesapeake, anchored for weeks in the Washington Channel while enjoying the cultural feast of our nations capital. And cruised the blue, clear waters of the Keys, Exumas and Abacos for months at a time for pennies (ok dollars, but not hundreds) a day.

Upgraded with LiFePO4 house batteries (412 Ah) and solar with new 12v refrigerator compressor/condenser, 3500W Next-Gen diesel generator, 690W of solar on the davits above the convenient stern steps this boat is an off-grid solar miracle with 3000W inverter for your microwave, computers, Internet and streaming that keep the lights on without the noise of generators or the expense of marina dockage. Vessel has been constantly maintained by professional tradesmen (LiFePO4 batteries professionally installed by Tom Chockley of St. Marys, GA), rig tuned and inspected every two years (most recently by Weymouth Rigging in Rockland) with recent barrier coat on the bottom (2021), ablative bottom paint
