Examples of sailboats from 1000 euro

Friends, today we have a boat for circumnavigation — Jeanneau Sun Magic 44 with a new engine for 41 200 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 13.34 meters
Beam: 4.24 meters
Draft: 2.12 meters
Sleeping places: 9
Toilet (head): 2
Kitchen (galley): yes

The boat was made in the years when the French shipyard Jeanneau paid more attention to the quality of boats. The model was produced with the expectation of long-term usage in harsh conditions.

The hull is reinforced with kevlar, which gives it extra durability. There is still a «hunt» for these boats among those who are going to circumnavigate.

The interior is a bit «tired», but there is some charm of it.

There are 4 cabins and 9 berths in total. One of the cabins has been converted into a warehouse, you can return it back. 2 bathrooms with showers.

The keel bolts have been replaced by professionals — this is a very important update for such a boat.

The second important and expensive upgrade is the new Volvo Penta D2-55 engine.

Seacocks were also replaced with composite Truedesign.

The supply of fresh water is almost 500 liters. The diesel tank (220 liters) has recently been cleaned.

A new heater with deflectors in all cabins has been installed.

Also, a dinghy with a Suzuki 4 hp outboard is given with the boat.

Friends, today we have Oyster 395 Lightwave after a big refit for 33 750 euros!

Location: Netherlands

Length: 12.04 meters
Beam: 3.62 meters
Draft: 2.13 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

Oyster Marine is a British boat brand that still produces premium segment boats.

This model is a racing boat with a high level of comfort for cruise passages.

The owner invested his money and energy into the boat to win prizes on it.

Boat has been refitted from 2022 to 2025. Electrical wiring was completely updated, new AGM batteries with a charging monitor were installed.

Heating was installed.

The standing rigging was partially repaired.

There is a report from 2025 on the survey of the underwater part and the structure of the vessel.

The owner raced the boat, and it’s equipped with new membrane sails: mainsail 2019, genoa 2018, spinnaker 2018, spare dacron staysails, spinnaker for strong wind, etc.

The Yanmar 3GM30 engine is working well after major repairs in 2012. The engine consumption in cruising mode is approximately 2 liters per hour.

The boat has two fresh water tanks of 100 liters each. Electric water pressure system. There is hot water (heating from the engine). Gas leak sensors in the galley.

Since the boat is a racer, there is no sprayhood and bimini on it. If you are going to travel, especially in Middle-Earth, you will have to purchase it.

There is an activated life raft for 6 people (up to 01/2027) and an EPIRB (up to 01/2029).

There is also a lot of equipment on the boat: racing navigation devices on the mast, autopilot, chartplotter, VHF, AIS, most of the devices are duplicated on the navigation table

Friends, today we have a Maxi 95 with a bow-thruster for 21 900 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 9.50 meters
Beam: 3.20 meters
Draft: 1.55 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

Incredibly beautiful and well-maintained Maxi 95. I like such a pedantic attitude. The owner says he even polishes the anchor, and I do that too. 😎

This model is considered one of the most spacious in its size. There is a separate aft cabin with a separate entrance through the cockpit. Fully dedicated toilet with updated plumbing and hand shower.

Bright and well-maintained teak interior. New cushions have been sewn. A galley with new plumbing.

Completely updated electrics and new batteries (3 pcs.).

All sails with the UV covers. The staysail is on a furling.

The Volvo Penta MD11 engine is running like clockwork after major repairs in 2024.

There is a bow-thruster. I don’t think it’s very necessary on a boat of this size, but let it be.

A new sprayhood and bimini are sewn. The doors and the cockpit table are made of teak. The steering wheel is covered with leather.

There is also a lot of equipment visible in the photo: chartplotter, autopilot, echo sounder, wind instruments and more.

It’s a pretty rare boat. Swedish production with high-quality standards.

The boat is in good condition both externally and technically.

Thick and durable hull, wide cockpit, more modern solutions. A certain balance between the old and new schools of Swedish yacht building.

There is no information from the owner in the ad at all.

The photo shows that the keel bolts look good, but they still need a more detailed inspection.

There is a stove with an oven and a good compressor refrigerator in the galley. Separate toilet with septic tank.

The mainsail and genoa are visible in the photo. Both sails are made of laminate and look good. There is a furling and a cover for the mainsail. The ropes are out in the cockpit.

A Volvo Penta engine is installed on the boat. There is no information about the engine and model in the ad, but by default it’s most likely MD2002.

The teak deck requires maintenance in places. The teak in the cockpit looks good.

There is a spray hood. The steering wheel is covered with leather.

Lots of electronics: a good chartplotter, autopilot, echo sounder, wind instruments, VHF and more.

Friends, today we have a boat from a famous Canadian shipyard — C&C 34 with a Volvo Penta engine for 24 200 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 10.21 meters
Beam: 3.35 meters
Draft: 1.80 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

The famous Canadian C&C boats are widely known all over the world, but they are very rare in the Scandinavian market.

The boat is in excellent technical and cosmetic condition. The original teak interior is free of scratches and traces of moisture. New cushions have been sewn.

For the last 20 years, the boat has been used only in freshwater. And every winter it was stored in a warm room. In October, a new antifouling was applied and the anodes were replaced.

The owner is an experienced sailor and engineer, so the boat has many good solutions.

The new Victron intelligent electrical system with Bluetooth.

New heater.

A large set of sails, but all the sails have been in use for quite a long time, and it might be worth replacing them. Most likely, for this reason, the boat is being sold at a lower price than the market.

Sails: a mainsail with a lazy bag, a self-tacking staysail, several genoas of different sizes, a spinnaker and a storm jib.

The Volvo Penta MD2030 engine was installed in 2000 and runs like clockwork.

The equipment has also been partially updated: a new Raymarine chartplotter with echo sounder and autopilot with drive to the baller.

Friends, today we have a Hallberg-Rassy Monsun with an updated engine and a bow-thruster for 19 800 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 9.37 meters
Beam: 2.87 meters
Draft: 1.40 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

The legendary boat of the famous shipyard. A great opportunity to start your journey from the Norwegian fjords.

Since 1988, the boat has had one owner, and since then she has been regularly serviced and upgraded. There is complete documentation for the boat, the engine and all the work done.

The teak interior looks very good. The cushions were re-sewn. The galley has a stove and Isotherm refrigerator with a new compressor.

The sails are not new, but in good working condition. There is a furling, UV protection and a cover for the mainsail. The photo shows a spinnaker boom, perhaps there is a spinnaker itself.

The Volvo Penta D1-30 engine, installed in 2007, runs like clockwork and has never failed. A new transmission and propeller are installed.

There is a bow-thruster.

Two house batteries, one starter battery and a separate battery for the bow-thruster.

There is a sprayhood and a cockpit tent. Anchor winch with a chain of 40 meters on the bow. It seems to me that 40 meters is not enough. I would add at least another 20 meters.

The price includes a Zodiac dinghy with oars.

The boat also has an autopilot, a VHF, an echo sounder, an anemometer, and more.

The offer looks very attractive. The boat is in excellent technical condition and very well-equipped.

It wasn’t used often — mainly for traveling through the Norwegian fjords and along the Swedish coast.

Over the 7 years of ownership, the boat has been well upgraded: a new bow thruster has been installed with control near the helm and a wireless remote control.

The hull and keel have been repaired. It’s necessary to specify what works were performed.

All the electrics and wiring have been updated. LEDs are installed in the lamps.

The boat looks good inside. New cushions have been sewn. There is hot and cold water. There is also hot water in the shower at the stern.

The new sails were purchased in 2023. A new lazy bag was also sewn. Old sails and a spinnaker are also included.

The Yanmar 27 hp engine is regularly serviced and runs like clockwork. A new transmission is installed.

A big plus is the presence of a good dinghy (inflatable boat) with a new electric motor.

The boat also has radar, echo sounder, chartplotter, VHF, autopilot and more.
