1986 Jeanneau Espace 1100, EUR 39,000

About Our Boat

We lived onboard last year, cruising the Balearics, and can honestly say this layout is hard to beat for long-term cruising and liveaboard comfort.
Designed by Philippe Briand, the Jeanneau Espace 1100 is known for its solid build quality, forgiving handling, and unmatched interior space. Thanks to the deck saloon layout, you get panoramic 360° views from inside with incredible natural light, which is a rare find in this price range.

Because she’s a sturdy, heavy-displacement classic, she won't break speed records, but she is safe, extremely forgiving, and easy to handle, even for small crews or beginners. With a few minor upgrades, she’s ready for bigger offshore crossings.

Nav Instruments: Radar, VHF, Autopilot, GPS, Depth sounder, Speedometer, Fishfinder, and Radar reflector all original from the 80s.

Condition & Projects

We want to be transparent: she is an older boat and there are projects and ongoing maintenance tasks to tackle onboard.

Lifting Keel: The lifting mechanism currently isn't working, so the keel is fixed in place. It can be serviced during the next drydock liftout. We didn't need it in the Balearics.
Last Haul-Out: Out of the water in 2025 for fresh antifouling using International Micron 350 (2-year long-lasting protection paint)
General Maintenance: There are cosmetic and project areas to work on.

Our asking price of €39,000 reflects this.

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to put a bit of time into a solid deck saloon and own an incredibly comfortable, capable blue-water cruiser.

We had the best time on board and are looking for her next owner to take her on new adventures!
