Freshly returned to Hawaii after a cruising season in the South Pacific, this Wauquiez Centurion 45 is a true turnkey veteran completely ready to cross oceans again tomorrow.

Built by the renowned French shipyard, Wauquiez yachts are legendary among offshore sailors for their superb build quality, boasting a robust, hand-laid solid fiberglass hull with integral molded stringers and a heavily bedded lead keel designed to handle the world's toughest conditions.

The Centurion 45 is a true ocean going yacht capable of covering 200 miles a day offshore. It is sloop rigged with a removable inner forestay, giving sailors options of various sail plans to suit the conditions. The cockpit is comfortable and dry, ideal for spending time at sea or on anchor.

‘Virgo Moon’ has been extensively upgraded for open-ocean self-sufficiency, she comes equipped with a standing rig renewed in 2022, an Ulman 100% genoa (April 2025), and a robust power grid including 400W of rigid solar, an Air Breeze wind generator, and a reliable AGM house bank.

Down below, Wauquiez’s premium craftsmanship is on full display with rich, classic woodwork. The functional 3-cabin, 2-head layout and spacious saloon easily accommodate a crew of 6 for long-distance passages. Complete with Raymarine electronics, a Starlink system, a Pacific Wind Pilot mechanical windvane, and a certified Viking liferaft, this Centurion 45 is a very quality, battle-tested cruising yacht waiting for her next horizon.
