TEMPEST WS

## TEMPEST WS A 1962 hull still cruising the Mediterranean in her own right — that tells you most of what you need to know about how she was built. Launched by Esterel to a design by André Mauric, TEMPEST WS carries the proportions of an era when yachts were drawn by eye as much as by rule, and a refit completed in 2025 has brought her systems and finishes up to contemporary standards without flattening that character. Space is the first thing you notice. Three deck levels give you genuine choice through the day: somewhere in the sun, somewhere shaded, somewhere out of the wind when the yacht is underway. Sunbeds can be laid out where the light happens to be, rather than where the layout dictates. Below, four cabins accommodate eight guests: an owner's cabin, a VIP cabin, and two further cabins each fitted with twin beds. Detailed bed configuration is available on request. The interior works around a palette of chrome and dark caramel, warm and low-lit rather than bright — a scheme that suits a yacht of this vintage far better than anything paler would. She cruises at 18 knots, which makes a coastal passage a matter of hours rather than a day's commitment, and a crew of five looks after the yacht and her guests throughout. For time at anchor, a RIB tender handles shore runs, with jet skis, waterskis, wakeboards, snorkelling equipment and inflatables aboard for the swimming stops in between.
