Verdict
The Wauquiez PS47 is a strongly built cruising yacht with a bright, saloon-forward layout, solid offshore credentials, and sensible sailplan proportions. It trades some light-air pace and shallow-draft versatility for comfort, structural quality, and a refined liveaboard feel.

- +Sturdy fiberglass/balsa infused construction
- +Balanced cruiser-racer proportions and moderate displacement
- +Large fuel and water capacities for extended cruising
- +Well-suited to comfortable passagemaking
Inconvénients
- −Published specs vary by source and year
- −Not a high-performance light-air specialist
- −Deep-draft versions can limit access to shallow anchorages
- −Older design can feel less modern than newer 47-foot cruisers
The Wauquiez PS47, also known as the Pilot Saloon 47, is a French-designed 47-foot cruising yacht first built in 2006 and produced through the early 2010s. Its hallmark is the raised saloon arrangement, which gives the interior exceptional light and outward visibility for a boat in this class. Construction is fiberglass with balsa core infusion, and the boat sits on a fractional sloop rig with a fin keel and bulb, emphasizing a secure offshore cruising profile.
Under sail, the PS47 is best understood as a capable passagemaker rather than a high-strung performance boat. Reported figures place it in cruiser-racer territory, but the design’s strength is balance and stability rather than outright speed. The moderate beam carried aft helps form stability and interior volume, while the sailplan and displacement suggest predictable, manageable handling for an experienced cruising crew.
Comfort is one of the model’s strongest points. The saloon concept, teak interior finish, and practical systems support long stays aboard, and the published fuel and water capacities suit extended cruising. For the 2015 unit referenced here, the available listing data confirms air conditioning, wifi, autopilot, and GPS, though cabin and berth counts were not verified in the specific listing.
Value depends heavily on condition and outfitting, because this is an older premium cruiser and public listings show some variation in year and machinery data across sources. For buyers prioritizing build quality, liveaboard comfort, and offshore usability over the latest styling or shallow-water access, the PS47 remains an appealing and respectable choice.
