Esperance

Experience Esperance

Experience the thrill of slicing through crystal-clear waters, the sea breeze whipping through your hair, as the sailing yacht Esperance gracefully cuts through the waves. This striking 18-meter schooner, built in 2002 and designed by the renowned Dudley Dix, is your ticket to a maritime adventure. Whether you're seeking a day of exhilarating sailing or a laid-back cruise along sun-soaked coastlines, the sailing yacht Esperance delivers an experience that combines elegance, power, and timeless charm. With a cruising speed of 8 knots, Esperance ensures every journey is smooth and enjoyable, giving you ample time to soak in the scenery and connect with the rhythm of the ocean.

While Esperance may forgo cabins, as a specifically designed day charter yacht, she more than makes up for it with an array of features designed to elevate your time on the water with her two masts, a generous length of 12 meters, a beam of 5 meters and a draft of 2 meters, this schooner offers stability and comfort, ensuring a steady voyage even for those new to sailing. Optimised for day charters and those who value open-air indulgence over confined quarters, the sailing yacht Esperance strikes the perfect balance between tradition and modernity. Esperance combines robust design with aesthetic appeal, making it as stunning to look at as it is to sail. The spacious deck is perfect for lounging, sunbathing, or hosting an intimate gathering, while the shaded areas provide a retreat from the sun for when you need a little respite.
