1992 Beneteau 500 Sailboat For Sale

by Ken W.

'Surgiamo' is a very comfortable long distance cruiser and live aboard. Since the purchase in 2002 we have very successfully sailed across the Atlantic to Turkey. Since then we have cruised the Mediterranean during the summer season (May-Oct), we normally left the boat on the hard through the winter in Turkey. With large tankage and much storage, she is able to cross long and far very comfortably.
