Description

Step Aboard AGNES – A Proven Bluewater Cruiser Ready for New AdventuresAt BVI Yacht Sales, we pride ourselves on connecting sailors with the best boats across the Caribbean. Whether you're an experienced cruiser looking for your next bluewater passage-maker or a dreamer ready to set sail, we guide you through every step with honesty, expertise, and a keen eye for value. AGNES, a 2005 Beneteau Oceanis 523, is a prime example of why working with an informative broker makes all the difference.Currently lying in Grenada, she is positioned at the gateway to some of the most spectacular sailing grounds in the world. The Beneteau Oceanis 523 was awarded Boat of the Year in 2005, and for good reason. Designed for both luxury and performance, she is a spacious, capable offshore cruiser with elegant lines, comfortable living spaces, and the kind of sailing performance that keeps purists and passage-makers alike satisfied.Built for Comfort, Performance & IndependenceOne of the hallmarks of the Oceanis 523 is its combination of speed and comfort. Designed by Groupe Finot, she boasts a generous 52-foot hull with a 16-foot beam, offering a stable and smooth ride even in heavy seas. Her deep draft (2.35m) keeps her tracking true on offshore passages, while her 110HP Yanmar diesel engine ensures you have the power you need when the wind doesn’t cooperate.With an Onan 9.5 kW generator, six Kyocera 135W solar panels, and a D400 wind generator, AGNES is built for self-sufficiency, reducing your reliance on marinas and keeping you cruising longer. Her Spectra Newport 400 watermaker means fresh water is never an issue, a crucial feature for anyone planning extended voyages or living aboard.A Spacious and Thoughtfully Designed InteriorStep below deck, and you’ll immediately appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail that set the Oceanis 523 apart. The rich wood finishes, abundant natural light, and intelligent layout make her feel more like a luxury apartment than a typical cruising yacht.AGNES features four cabins and four heads, including a private captain’s cabin with its own head, making her an ideal choice for families, charter use, or owners who enjoy hosting guests in style. The saloon is spacious and inviting, with seating for up to eight around the extendable dining table, perfect for entertaining.The galley is fully equipped with a gimbaled 4-burner stainless steel stove/oven, large refrigeration, and freezer compartments (rebuilt in 2012), and a microwave oven, making onboard cooking a pleasure, whether at anchor or underway.With full-boat air conditioning, you’ll stay comfortable even in the hottest climates, and the diesel-powered heating system ensures cozy nights should you venture north.Well-Equipped for Any AdventureNavigation and onboard systems are top-of-the-line, making AGNES as easy to handle as she is capable. Her Raymarine ST7001 autopilot, dual chart plotters (E120 & E80), radar, AIS, and multiple VHF radios keep you informed and connected at sea.Her electric winches (Harken & Arco Hutton), mast furling system, and powerful FACNOR Genoa furling setup make sail handling easy, even for a short-handed crew. Whether you’re on a downwind passage with the original spinnaker or enjoying upwind performance with her 100% jib (new in 2015), you’ll appreciate how well she sails in all conditions.For safety and reliability, she includes redundant bilge pumps, USCG safety equipment, multiple fire extinguishers, and an emergency tiller. The 55kg Rocna anchor with 100m of new rode (2025) ensures you stay securely moored wherever you drop the hook.An Ideal Caribbean Base – Already in GrenadaGrenada has become a preferred destination for cruisers looking for a safe, well-equipped yachting hub with easy access to the Eastern Caribbean. AGNES is already positioned at Spice Island Marine Services, a respected yard in True Blue, St. George’s, making it easy for new owners to step aboard and begin their adventure without delay.Why buy in Grenada?

Simply provision, chart your course, and let the trade winds carry you to St. Vincent & the Grenadines, the Grenadines, the BVI, or beyond.Well-Maintained & Ready to GoAGNES has been well cared for, with thoughtful upgrades and consistent maintenance. Like many Caribbean-based boats, she has seen her share of storms, but any past damage was professionally repaired and is no longer evident. She is structurally sound, fully operational, and ready for her next owner to enjoy many more years of bluewater cruising.Why AGNES?
