Tempest WS is a labor of love, an exquisite blend of elegance and nostalgia, embodying the pinnacle of classic French naval architecture. Originally built as a French coast guard patrol vessel by the renowned Chantier Naval de l'Esterel, she boasts a beautiful triple planked mahogany hull that catches the eye wherever she sails. Designed to patrol at over 20 knots in adverse weather, she combines French sophistication with military-grade efficiency.
Completely refitted in 2002 under the visionary guidance of architect André Mauric, Tempest WS has been reborn, marrying her original sea-keeping qualities with the comforts and style of a modern motor yacht. Her interior accommodation is surprisingly comfortable and in "as new" condition, making her a perfect yacht for cruising with both comfort and sophistication.
Consistently maintained to the highest standards, Tempest WS is a modern vessel with the charm of a classic yacht, representing a unique piece of maritime artistry. She is the ideal size for comfortably cruising the Mediterranean and is fully commercial ready, making her a successful charter vessel. This true gentleman’s yacht is one-of-a-kind and must be inspected to be fully appreciated.

Places TEMPEST WS can take you
Capri
A legendary island of limestone cliffs, designer boutiques and the famous sea cave illuminated by an otherworldly blue light. Anchor off Marina Piccola.
Maddalena Archipelago, Sardinia
Seven granite islands northeast of Costa Smeralda — La Maddalena town, Spargi's pink sand beaches, and protected waters used by NATO naval exercises
The Tuscan Archipelago & Elba
Seven protected islands within Europe's largest marine park. Elba is the largest; Montecristo, immortalised by Dumas, can be admired from anchor but rarely visited.
Positano, Amalfi Coast
Vertical village of pastel houses cascading to the sea — moorings book months ahead, tender-only beach access, and limoncello terraces carved into the clifftop
Portofino, Liguria
Five UNESCO-listed fishing villages painted into cliffsides, and Italy's most glamorous harbour. Both are best approached from the sea.
Porquerolles
A car-free island of pine forests, white sand beaches, and vineyards a short sail from the mainland.
