Builder: BeneteauDesigner: Beneteau PowerYear: 2005Length: 32' 10"Engine: Twin Nanni 4.390 TDiHull: Fibreglass/GRPCruising Speed: 20 knotsMax Speed: 28 knotsPrice: £63,950We bought her in April this year and we aremoored in Poole, Dorset, and have had the most amazing summer on her it’s nearlyas much fun just sitting on her in the marina with glass of wine with friendsas exploring Poole harbour, winding our way up the Wareham river or motoringover to the Isle of Wight. Her seaworthiness is amazing, she is dream onstill water but she travels beautifully through choppy water and inspiresconfidence with her impressive hull design. Most of our motoring has been fromthe flybridge, which gives fantastic views and amazing control of the boat becauseof the 360-degree vision, however controlling from the wheelhouse is great on lesssunny day with friends sat around the comfortable sofa. We love getting aboard,closing the curtains and watching film or listening to music through thehi-fi. Really good speakers, by the way.She has master bedroom which is very comfortable, with space around the bed, and twin bunk cabin. The rear cockpit area is spacious and with canvas sides fitted makes up fabulous 'camping' style overnight area if blow-up bed is used. So she could sleep 6, but is the ideal maximum for us.
She is amazingly fuel efficient. Wetend to motor around Poole harbour at around knots, but out at sea we may powerher easily onto the plane and cruise at 18–20 knots. The top speed is supposedto be 28, but we’ve never tried speed is not for us, we leave our hurriedlives behind when we step onto Kobi.The galley consists of double gas hob and single gas oven and stainless steel sink with pull out larder below. It's all very well laid out and she also has good size 12v fridge with freezer compartment.She has storage areas hidden all over the place, but has very large one under the rear teak cockpit shown in photo.
All the photos you see were takenbetween April 2016 and now, there are no old, or library photos. We felt when webought her it’d be difficult to get such quality and space for themoney, as compared with other boats, and we believe that totally now. So why arewe selling? Simple, we got into boating years ago and love it so much that wewant to move up in size so that we can comfortably live on our boat for weeksand months at time! Kobi is very comfortable for week at time but we will needa little more space! We are so impressed with the Antares range that we arelooking for an Antares 12 or 13.80, which will tick every single box for us… hopefullyforever!!So what condition is Kobi in?
Internally. She is so close to ‘as new’ orperfect that it’s amazing, must be seen to appreciate. We've even put temporay carpet down to protect the original flooring!
Engine. The hours are 410, so over her 11 years that’s around hrs per month – very low. The twin Nanniengines are beautifully painted and the engine bay is beautifully clean. Alllevels are constant and everything starts and runs perfectly. was told when Ipurchased her that both engines had been serviced. do not have the proof ofthis so full professional engines service will be carried out before any saleis concluded at my expense.
Externally. She is also near perfect. There are two small blemishes inthe fibreglass on the top fibreglass deck that I’m having professionally attendedto, with receipt to show upon sale.
Hull. She was anti-fouled and the shafts and propeller and trim tabs cleaned offin April along with new antifoul. This will be required again next March or April.
Canvas: The rear cockpit area can be surrounded in canvas which, apartfrom the roof canvas (as per photos), we have not used and are stored. These arevisually in very good condition but few popper/securing straps look like theyneed replacing. The flybridge canvas, however, is worn out and needs replacingfor aesthetics. have not replaced it because the original is perfectlyadequate as cover, but will either rectify/replace all canvas issues withinthe agreed sales price or make deduction to reflect. The top bimini cover does not appear in any photos apart from one, because we have not used the bimini therefore removed it for safe keeping.You may notice that the name Kobi on some photos is in flowing script and on some modern rounded type. changed the type to the more rounded type few weeks after we bought her.
Overall she is magnificent boat,ready to relax and have fun on, as we are still doing. We wouldwelcome any viewing from serious buyers, so please view with confidence and of courseany inspection would be welcomed.Feel free to phone me with anyquestions,Chris 07812 119339 GeneralForward double cabinSecond forward cabin with bunksCream upholstery throughoutBlack plastic mesh window covers for shade and privacy240v Shore powerBattery chargerWebasto central heatingSea toiletShowerStereo radio/CD playerFlatron flat screen TVElectric anchor winch with deck, flybridge and wheelhouse controlsAnchor, warps fendersTrim tabsDual station bowthrusterWindscreen demistersFull aft closing canopyFlybridge coverTinted flybridge windscreenTeak cockpit bathing platformCockpit showerElectric bilge pumpAuto fire extinguisher to engine compartmentEngine hours only 410 hrs
