1963 CHANTIER DE L'ESTEREL Confronta

Built by Chantier de l'Esterel in 1963, TEMPEST WS is a 32-metre motor yacht with a distinctive history and a character that sets her apart from more recent production vessels. Originally constructed as a French coast guard patrol vessel, she combines a purposeful heritage with a timeless aesthetic that continues to attract attention on the water. Her triple-planked mahogany hull is a defining feature, offering both visual warmth and a construction method associated with classic craftsmanship.

TEMPEST WS underwent a full refit in 2002 and has continued to receive consistent maintenance and upgrades over the following years, keeping her in well-maintained condition. She accommodates up to four cabins, making her a comfortable option for private cruising or small group charter. Her proportions and layout are well-suited to Mediterranean itineraries, and she holds commercial certification, which expands her potential use cases for prospective buyers.

This yacht is particularly well-suited to buyers looking for a vessel with genuine character and a one-of-a-kind profile. Her classic lines and original build heritage appeal to those who value authenticity over standardisation. At the same time, her commercial readiness and practical size make her a credible option for buyers considering a charter-capable vessel as part of their ownership strategy.

Bella Yacht assists buyers throughout the acquisition process, from availability checks and yacht analysis to negotiation strategy, survey coordination, documentation, refit advice, crew, delivery and post-purchase support. Our role is to help clients evaluate this yacht with clarity, compare it with relevant alternatives and secure the best possible conditions.
