Beneteau First 405

Beneteau First 405 Owner Version, 1986 For sale: privately owned Beneteau First 405, built in 1986, in the desirable two-cabin Owner Version, in very good technical and overall condition. Location: Lefkada, Greece Flag: Poland Viewing directly on board and a direct Bill of Sale with the owner. If required, assistance can be provided with Polish registration, insurance and TEPAI arrangements. From her construction in 1986 until 2025 — almost 40 years — the yacht remained in the same caring British ownership. The current owners purchased her in 2025 for living aboard and cruising in Greece, with plans for longer-distance voyages in the future. For this reason, the yacht was carefully prepared and upgraded for their own long-term use. During the past year, approximately €6,000 has been invested in maintenance and upgrades. However, changing circumstances have made it impossible for the owners to pursue their cruising plans in the foreseeable future, and the decision has therefore been made to pass the yacht on to a new owner. This is not a restoration project, but a well-maintained, actively used yacht prepared for continued cruising.
