The Wauquiez Pilot Saloon 40 combines French craftsmanship with true blue water capability. She is a sailing yacht designed for discerning owners who value safety, comfort, and confident sailing performance — whether on long offshore passages or in demanding coastal waters.
A defining feature is the protected deck saloon with generous glazing, which floods the interior with natural light and provides excellent all-round visibility even in rough weather. With approximately 1.90 m (6’3”) of headroom in the saloon, the yacht offers an exceptionally spacious and airy feel for a 40-foot vessel. The owner’s cabin features a private en-suite bathroom with a separate shower compartment.
This particular yacht "Djangoline" has been owned by a Swiss couple since 2023, who have cruised the Canary Islands, the Caribbean Sea and the United Kingdom with her. In recent years, significant investments have been made in equipment and upgrades, resulting in a technically modern, well-equipped yacht presented today in very good condition and is ready to go for another big journey.
The price does not include the brand-new RIB dinghy which can be bought separately.
