The Moorings 42.3

An extra-large cockpit to make you feel at home

The Moorings 42.3 is a quintessential Bénéteau boat, built by a company with whom we have been working since the outset. Although this model is less than 43 feet long, they have managed to maximise the space outside while maintaining optimum comfort inside. Its wide-beamed, chined hull, designed by Marc Lombard, is sure to thrill sailing fans everywhere. And the luxurious interior, designed by Nauta Design in their own inimitable style, is fitted with the latest, premium materials.

Moorings 423 Saloon

The Moorings 42.3 features 3 cabins and 2 toilets and can therefore comfortably host a crew of 6 and, if required, it can even accommodate two more, thanks to the convertible table in the saloon.What’s more, the magnificent fore cabin, which has its own private bathroom, will leave any visitors who take a peek in there absolutely green with envy! This layout is ideally designed for a perfect cruising holiday with friends or family.

The best lighting and fittings you could wish for!

When we chose the options for the Moorings 42.3, we decided we wanted to spoil you.

Moorings 423 Owner Cabin

Onboard you will find: a TV screen, LED lighting, solar panels, shore power air-conditioning, fans, USB sockets, electric toilets and much more.

The gently-sloping companionway leads down to a modern, floodlit saloon and a functional, well-designed C-shaped galley: all you need to ensure a pleasurable cruise.

Finely-balanced hull, perfect deck layout

It’s time to hoist the sails on your Moorings 42.3? Well, just fold up the swim platform, which then doubles as the transom, and simply sail away.

Thanks to the excellent view you have of both the crew and your spread of sails, steering this stable yet fast boat is an immense pleasure. Although considerable power is generated by the sharp, highly-efficient hull, the balance provided by the chines and the helm’s surprisingly sensitive and precise feel will ensure that you will never get to the point where you feel that you are in danger of losing control.

The Moorings 42.3 is easy to manoeuvre if you have a small, inexperienced crew, or even alone, thanks to its perfectly adapted deck layout and the well thought out positionings of the winches and sheets: good design leads to good performance.The crew will enjoy their time in the extra-large, secure cockpit, where they can huddle safely up between the sturdy cockpit table and the coamings. Here they will be nicely sheltered under the protection of the bimini and the sprayhood.So, think you may finally have come across a monohull which provides an ideal comprise between size and space? Make a note of its name: the Moorings 42.3.

I would like to thank you for your hospitality, your support and your advice last year and especially for the Seychelles. We had a wonderful family holiday as shown in the attached photo. The boat was immaculate with flowers and a bottle of champagne awaiting us upon arrival. Everyone in the team was kind, knowledgeable, professional and helpful. This was our first experience cruising with The Moorings and Kiwili. You all made it unforgettable. Thank you!

In short, we are very happy with our purchase! Well maintained boat, extremely comfortable, very controllable, and with good sailing performance ... I also wanted to say that you have a great team on Raiatea, under the excellent management of Patricia. The boat fleet is subject to permanent maintenance which is a pleasure to see. Finally, we were very happy with the contact with Laurent, always attentive, available, efficient and very professional.

We have just signed a third contract with the Moorings Yacht Ownership. The option to use other sisterships allowed us to sail at an unbeatable price: in Australia, the West Indies on the bases of Saint Lucia and Saint Martin, in the Seychelles, in Polynesia from Raïatea, in Croatia from Agana, in Greece…

The Owner Care team is really attentive to our needs, has always accompanied us with professionalism and kindness to make our dreams come true. We appreciate arriving on boats that are always well prepared and in good condition; we also note the efficiency of the local technical teams. This was an important point in our decision to stay with Moorings for our 3rd boat.
