The Wauquiez Centurion 59 represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of the French shipyard, marking its definitive transition from the production of highly regarded production boats into the realm of semi-custom, luxury bluewater yachts. Designed by the late Ed Dubois, whose naval architecture pedigree includes some of the world’s most successful racing yachts and superyachts, the Centurion 59 was conceived to offer the speed of a Mediterranean maxi combined with the robust safety required for high-latitude ocean crossings. Launched in the early 1990s, it served as the flagship of the Wauquiez fleet, showcasing a sleek, low-profile coachroof and a powerful masthead sloop rig that remains visually striking decades after its introduction.
