2000 Wauquiez Pilot Saloon 43, EUR 180.000

PHOTOS & VIDEOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST

Discover the ideal vessel for comfortable year-round living, hosting friends in the summer, and enjoying complete self-sufficiency while at anchor.

An interior saloon where you’ll love to spend your time.
The panoramic deck saloon is the heart of the boat: bright and open to the sea, it offers expansive views of your anchorage. It comfortably seats six for dinner, provides a light-filled workspace, and serves as a cozy retreat for winter evenings. The signature Wauquiez woodwork creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. This Wauquiez Pilot Saloon 43 has been used as a full-time home and is ready to continue traversing the world’s oceans.

Comfortable hosting
With three cabins—including a spacious master suite spanning the full width of the aft section—two heads, and a dedicated shower, you’ll enjoy a true living space with abundant storage, while your guests have their own private quarters. There is an incredible amount of storage throughout the cabins and living areas—plenty of room to bring your whole life aboard.

Self-sufficient liveaboard
Equipped for total independence: 525W of new solar panels, a generator, a refurbished 90 L/h watermaker, 580 liters of diesel, and 400 liters of fresh water. Features include Starlink for remote work from any cove, a surveillance camera, an ORCA connected onboard computer, a large refrigerator and freezer, a diesel heater for winter, and a portable washing machine—all housed in a technical space worthy of a superyacht.

Meticulously maintained
Set sail with complete peace of mind: the mainsail and forestay are new, the batteries have been replaced, the refrigeration unit and watermaker have been refurbished, and the liferaft has been serviced. As an added bonus, a substantial inventory of spare parts is included. The most recent comprehensive marine survey is available upon request (2022).

A true blue-water vessel
Featuring a high-quality hull design and a deep lead keel, the boat offers reassuring handling in all conditions—even when sailed single-handed. Equipped with a battened mainsail on a boom furler, an electric genoa furler, a self-tacking staysail, a bow thruster, an electric winch, and a chain counter at the helm, it can be easily managed by one person without ever needing to leave the cockpit.

Wauquiez construction
This renowned shipyard has established itself as a benchmark for high-end cruising sailboats. Its "Pilot Saloon" models, designed by Ed Dubois, are highly sought after for their superior build quality: meticulous lamination, a robust structure, deck hardware dimensioned for open-ocean sailing, and fine interior joinery crafted with the skill of a master cabinetmaker. On the water, they enjoy an equally strong reputation—safe, seaworthy, and fast for their class, maintaining a smooth, predictable motion even as the wind picks up. These Pilot Saloon models are direct competitors to the Amel Maramu/Santorin, Hallberg-Rassy, ​​Nauticat, and Moody ranges.

Being sold as the owner is transitioning to a catamaran. Available for viewing in Malta this winter, just 15 minutes from a well-connected airport. Viewings and sea trials are welcome.
