1980 Wauquiez Antigua 34, EUR 25,000

The Antigua 34 offers abundant space, comfort, quality, and not least functionality for the sailing enthusiast seeking a solid and versatile yacht for both short trips and longer adventures at sea. The boat can be described as a crossover between a motor sailer and an offshore cruiser, as it offers significantly better sailing performance than for example Nauticat and similar motor sailers.

Only two owners since new!

The yacht features a unique level of build quality that clearly sets it apart from today’s mass production. Here you get a great deal of boat for the money compared to competing brands.

The boat was developed by Henri Wauquiez and designed by Dominique Presle, and built by the renowned Wauquiez shipyard. Wauquiez yachts are well known for their outstanding seakeeping abilities and high build quality.

A swim platform has been installed, adding extra convenience, making boarding easy, and not least inviting swimming, water activities, and enjoyment for both children and adults. From the swim platform you step directly onto the spacious aft deck – a natural gathering place for relaxation, meals, socializing, and pleasant evenings onboard.

The boat is also equipped with davits, making tender handling with an outboard engine very practical.

When stepping below deck, you enter the bright and inviting deck saloon / pilothouse. Large windows provide excellent visibility and plenty of natural light, while generous headroom creates a strong sense of space. This area includes the helm position, seating, and galley, forming a social and functional heart of the yacht. From the saloon there is direct access to a private berth located under the starboard side of the aft deck, ideal for guests or children. On the port side there is a large and easily accessible storage locker, accessed via a cockpit locker.

The saloon continues down into the spacious midships lounge, offering generous seating for comfortable dining and relaxed evenings in a more sheltered environment. If needed, this area can easily be converted into a comfortable double berth.

Between the midships saloon and the pilothouse you will find a practical heads compartment with washbasin, providing essential comfort during time onboard.

Forward in the boat is a well-designed and comfortable double berth, ideal for resting after a day at sea.

The boat currently offers five berths, but this can be increased to six or seven by utilizing the aft cabin.

The yacht has been significantly upgraded in recent years, including a newer Volvo Penta D2-40 engine with low hours, a Sleipner bow thruster, newer headsail, sprayhood and cockpit enclosure with window covers in near-new condition, modern instrumentation, and a custom-made winter cover for safe storage in port.

Overall, this Antigua 34 offers excellent value: spacious, reliable, functional, and ready for new adventures. The boat is available for viewing in Bestumkilen, Oslo.
