The Beneteau Sense 43, introduced in 2011, represented a radical departure from traditional monohull design, aiming to capture the outdoor-centric lifestyle of a catamaran while maintaining the sailing characteristics of a single hull. Designed by the naval architects at Berret-Racoupeau with interior styling by Nauta Design, the Sense 43 was the second model in the innovative "Sense" range, following the larger Sense 50. The core philosophy of this model was to bring the living spaces closer to the water's surface, achieved by lowering the cabin sole and placing all accommodations forward of the mast. This unique layout allowed for an exceptionally shallow three-step companionway, creating a "loft-on-the-water" feel that remains distinct in the used boat market today. The model was eventually succeeded by the Beneteau Sense 46, which refined the concept with more integrated cockpit features.
