Wauquiez Amphitrite 45 MS Just Listed

The Wauquiez Amphitrite 45 MS is a serious bluewater cruising yacht designed for comfortable offshore passages and long-term independence at anchor. Her solid heavy-displacement build, protected pilot house layout, and high-sided cockpit make her especially well suited to ocean sailing, offering excellent shelter, visibility, and security in challenging conditions.

A major strength of this yacht is her extensive off-grid equipment package. She is fitted with a substantial solar array totaling approximately 1,740W, managed through multiple Victron MPPT controllers, allowing the boat to support daily life at anchor without constant engine charging. The electrical system has been significantly upgraded with a Victron MultiPlus 3000 inverter/charger, Victron Cerbo GX system management, Victron BMV battery monitoring, and six new 110Ah Victron AGM house batteries installed in 2026. This setup supports high-demand domestic equipment including the watermaker, refrigeration, espresso machine, tools, and other 220V loads.

For cruising independence, the yacht is equipped with a Schenker Zen 50 watermaker, large fresh water capacity, extensive refrigeration including two fixed fridges plus a Dometic 35L portable fridge, Starlink Mini for offshore communications, and a broad inventory of tools and spare parts. These systems make her highly capable for remote cruising, liveaboard use, and long passages between service points.

The pilot house / motor-sailer design is a major advantage for offshore sailing. It provides a protected interior watchkeeping position, excellent all-weather comfort, and a dry, secure environment during passages. The pilot saloon windows were professionally re-sealed in 2025, supporting a dry and comfortable interior. Combined with the vessel's cutter rig, heavy-weather sail options, autopilot system, radar, AIS, chartplotter, and upgraded communications, she is clearly prepared for serious passagemaking.
