1963 CHANTIER DE L'ESTEREL Compare

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.
