Yacht Description

“A 105ft Chantiers de l'Estérel from 1963.”

TEMPEST WS is a yacht of sublime elegance and nostalgic virtue. A true rarity of classic French naval architecture. This 32 meters beauty was initially a Customs patrol boat and after several full refits, she became what she is now : A truly and magnificent Gentleman’s yacht.

With a large Owner's Suite on the main deck, a VIP and two twin cabins below deck, and separate crew accommodation for 5 crew, she offers spacious common places, superb sunbathing areas and a shaded aft deck. A true pedigree, TEMPEST WS is the perfect way to cruise the Mediterranean with speed and comfort.

This is a perfect yacht that allows you to cruise with comfort and sophistication.

Tempest WS is a labor of love, an exquisite blend of elegance and nostalgia, embodying the pinnacle of classic French naval architecture. Originally built as a French coast guard patrol vessel by the renowned Chantier Naval de l’Esterel, she boasts a beautiful triple planked mahogany hull that catches the eye wherever she sails. Designed to patrol at over 20 knots in adverse weather, she combines French sophistication with military-grade efficiency.

Completely refitted in 2002 under the visionary guidance of architect André Mauric, Tempest WS has been reborn, marrying her original sea-keeping qualities with the comforts and style of a modern motor yacht. Her interior accommodation is surprisingly comfortable and in “as new” condition, making her a perfect yacht for cruising with both comfort and sophistication.

Consistently maintained to the highest standards, Tempest WS is a modern vessel with the charm of a classic yacht, representing a unique piece of maritime artistry. She is the ideal size for comfortably cruising the Mediterranean and is fully commercial ready, making her a successful charter vessel. This true gentleman’s yacht is one-of-a-kind and must be inspected to be fully appreciated.

Broker Review

Onboard visit

Originally built as a French navy vessel, this mahogany-hulled classic has real character and a great story — and a major refit has her in excellent shape. A smart-value family option for up to 8 guests, she comes with an unusually large tender and two jet skis, a rare combo for a yacht her size.
