2008 Wauquiez Pilot Saloon 55

The 2008 Wauquiez Pilot Saloon 55 is a fiberglass cruising yacht built for long-distance sailing and family comfort. At 58 feet with a 16-foot beam, it weighs 19,500 kilograms and combines robust construction with manageable weight. Power comes from a Yanmar diesel engine rated at 110 horsepower, paired with 600 liters of fuel capacity and 850 liters of fresh water storage for extended cruising. The sloop rig is straightforward to handle with minimal crew, and a protected central cockpit provides good sightlines and security underway.

Below deck, the layout centers on a bright saloon with panoramic windows opening to three cabins and two heads. The master cabin occupies the aft section, while two forward cabins share a head; substantial storage runs forward in the bow. Interior joinery is finished to a high standard throughout.

Recent work includes new standing rigging installed in 2026, serviced sails with a new lazy bag, and a new generator added in 2026. The yacht has crossed the Atlantic multiple times and is established as a capable blue-water platform. The hull design delivers good stability, and the overall layout suits extended family or group cruising.
