Summary
Mariella is an exceptionally well-presented 2005 Beneteau Cyclades 39.3, now available for viewing at Conwy Marina. Never chartered and used exclusively for private family cruising on the Irish Sea, she has been carefully maintained and extensively upgraded, making her a superb example of this popular cruising yacht. Offering an impressive specification, Mariella benefits from standing rigging replaced in 2021, a comprehensive modern Raymarine navigation suite including Axiom multifunction displays, autopilot, AIS and radar, together with an Eberspacher D4 cabin heating system, bow thruster, and electric anchor windlass for effortless handling. Recent investment also includes a full set of canvas comprising a sprayhood, wheel covers and sail bag, while the Coppercoat-treated hull provides reduced maintenance and long-term antifouling protection. Combining Beneteau's renowned cruising performance with thoughtful upgrades and careful private ownership, Mariella is a turnkey yacht, ideally suited to coastal cruising or extended offshore passages. Early viewing is highly recommended.

Construction
Built by Groupe Beneteau in France in 2005, the Beneteau Cyclades 39.3 was designed by the renowned naval architects Berret-Racoupeau, combining strong offshore capability with comfortable cruising performance. Mariella features the desirable fin keel with bulb configuration and a spade rudder, while a moulded skeg protects the propeller shaft and enhances directional stability.
Certified to CE Category A (8 persons) / B (9 persons) / C (10 persons) / D (10 persons), the Cyclades 39.3 is designed for confident offshore and coastal cruising.
The hull is constructed in single-skin GRP with balsa-cored sandwich laminate in selected areas and additional reinforcement at key structural load points. An integral bonded structural inner moulding provides exceptional rigidity by distributing loads from the keel, rudder and other high-stress areas throughout the hull, reducing localised stresses while increasing overall structural strength. Updated bronze hull fittings and valves (2020)
The hull incorporates a vinylester resin barrier, providing excellent protection against water ingress and osmosis, while the inner moulding creates a durable, easy-to-maintain interior finish and maximises useful under-sole storage.
The deck is manufactured using balsa-cored GRP sandwich construction, delivering an excellent strength-to-weight ratio together with effective thermal and acoustic insulation. All major deck fittings, including winches, tracks, cleats and U-bolts, are reinforced to withstand high working loads.
Safety on deck is enhanced by Beneteau's moulded Diamond Point non-slip finish across all working areas, while the integral inner deck moulding contributes additional stiffness and provides a clean, high-quality interior finish throughout.
