1978 Chantier de l’Esterel Vedette

This 1978 Chantier de l'Esterel Vedette is an 88-foot wooden classic built with triple-planked mahogany construction. Designed by architect André Mauric and originally built for the French customs service, the yacht combines solid traditional craftsmanship with substantial seakeeping ability. Two MTU engines producing 1,630 horsepower deliver a cruising speed of 18 knots and a maximum speed of 30 knots.

The interior includes five cabins arranged for comfortable cruising and entertaining. The mahogany hull and traditional construction methods reflect the builder's reputation for quality and durability, characteristics that remain evident in the boat's structure and performance.

The yacht underwent a comprehensive refit between 2021 and 2023, addressing systems and finishes throughout. This recent work restored the boat to a high standard of functionality and comfort while preserving the character of its classic design.
