Garcia Exploration 45

Unique opportunity!
Here is the possibility to come across a well-equipped Garcia Exploration 45, an extremely rare and sought-after long-distance yacht made entirely of aluminum for comfortable sailing on all the world's waters. A new boat has a delivery time of around 3 to 4 years! This boat is now available for viewing in the Caribbean but can also be sailed over to Europe if desired.

Reliable, easy to maneuver, robust and enduring, this yacht with remarkable sailing capabilities is designed for long distance crossings in extreme latitudes. Rest easy when casting off with an Exploration 45; the yacht is fully built out of aluminium, has fore and aft watertight bulkheads and shut-off valves located above the waterline. These are just a few examples of the design decisions made especially for offshore sailing. The onboard equipment is robust, and the twin-rudders allow for maximum control in all sea conditions.
