Since the early 1960's Wauquiez has been producing high quality blue water capable yachts. This broker when searching for a safe voyaging platform to take offshore with his family cruising found another Wauquiez model, the Amphitrite, and was immediately impressed with the build quality and accessibility of systems.  Phoenix, built in 2015, was the last PS47 produced before the builder moved to the PS48 model. Both the interior and exterior of Phoenix have been well thought out for functionality offshore as well as at anchor. The original and only owner has painstakingly outfit this boat for serious blue water voyaging and has already logged over 48,000 miles.

You will not find a generator or air conditioning, but you will find well organized spare parts for every system onboard.
