Wauquiez Yachts
French blue-water sailing yachts in Wauquiez, Pilot Saloon and Centurion families.
Wauquiez is a French builder of blue-water sailing yachts with more than fifty years of experience. Its current range includes the Wauquiez 55, Pilot Saloon 42 and 48e, Pilot Saloon 58 and Centurion 57. The brand presents its yachts through a combination of offshore vocation, performance, comfort and French craftsmanship.
The Centurion 57 takes a more performance-oriented approach, while the Pilot Saloon 58 prioritises deck-saloon glazing and interior volume. The Wauquiez 55 gives the range another cruising option at a similar length.
Wauquiez's present sailing range includes the 55, several Pilot Saloon yachts and the Centurion 57. The Pilot Saloon arrangement and Centurion performance emphasis provide different starting points for bluewater cruising.
An owner should compare the regular crew, expected passages and preferred balance of sailing response and sheltered living. Deck handling, visibility, storage and accommodation of the chosen model then matter more than an undifferentiated offshore label. The Pilot Saloon 42 and 58 cover very different sizes, while the Centurion 57 follows another sailing emphasis. Each deserves an assessment of the crew needed for the route and the amount of sheltered living space required between passages.
