Beneteau Moorings 463 (Oceanis 46.3)
Description
The Beneteau Moorings 463 (also known as the Moorings 46.3 or Oceanis 46.3) is a charter-optimized aft-cockpit cruiser designed by Bruce Farr and Armel Briand, built by Beneteau in France from 1996 to 2006. As a Moorings-exclusive variant of the Oceanis 463, it features modifications for bareboat charters like a 4-cabin layout, reinforced systems for high turnover, and a focus on ease of handling for novice crews. Approximately 100+ units were produced for The Moorings fleet, many still in service or available used. Owners appreciate its spacious volume, stable motion, and "forgiving" performance in trades, making it ideal for island-hopping or family vacations.
