Used Privilège 435 Sailboats for Sale

The Privilège 435 represents a significant milestone in the evolution of the luxury cruising catamaran, bridging the gap between the utilitarian multi-hulls of the 1980s and the floating villas of the modern era. Designed by the esteemed Marc Lombard and built by Jeantot Marine (later Alliaura Marine) in Les Sables-d'Olonne, France, the 435 was introduced in the late 1990s as a successor to the popular Privilège 42. While it retained the brand’s signature robust construction, it introduced more fluid lines and a significantly enhanced interior volume. The model’s longevity in the cruising community is largely due to its "overbuilt" reputation, utilizing a solid fiberglass hull below the waterline and a vacuum-bagged sandwich construction above to balance structural integrity with weight management. It remains a benchmark for what Privilège Marine describes as a "bluewater-capable" residence, designed specifically for long-term liveaboards rather than the high-turnover charter market.
