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

    Excellent communication.

    — Nicolas Bergstein

    We had a great purchasing experience with The Multihull Company. Got us into the boat we really wanted, our broker Josie was amazing, she walked us through the entire process, negotiated the deal we wanted and gave us great advice throughout. If you are looking to purchase a boat we can’t recommend them enough.

    — Roger Matros

    It’s been a few weeks now and the dust has settled. We had a great experience with the Multihull Company and in particular our broker, Caroline Laviolette. Caroline was happy to share her knowledge of the market and the catamarans we were interested in purchasing. She was patient and thorough as we looked at several boats in SE Florida, helped us narrow our search and eventually purchase a beautiful 2017 Lagoon 42. Many thanks to the team at The Multihull Company!

    — Carl Anderson

    We had a great experience purchasing our boat with Will Miller as a buyers agent. Purchasing our first large Cat is a daunting experience and Will was able to walk us through the process with ease. Will was very straight forward and constantly gave us honest feedback as well as finding and pointing out details on all the boats that we may not have noticed or thought about.

    We had a great experience and would use them again.

    I would specifically recommend a buyers agent when purchasing to help weed through a lot of problems and misrepresented boats on the market.

    — Anthony Nappa

    We have had great experiences with the Multihull company. We both sold our old boat through them, and bought our new boat through them. I have to say that Will Miller is top-notch, and Riley was great as our broker for selling our O day 39. when you buy a Salt or Boat through them, I feel like you are not only clients, but you are friends. The lines of communication were always open and we were always informed of everything going on.
