Used Saturna 33 Sailboats for Sale

The Saturna 33 stands as a definitive example of the collaboration between master Canadian craftsmanship and legendary naval architecture. Designed by the prolific William Garden and built by Wiggers Custom Yachts in Bowmanville, Ontario, the vessel was conceived as a robust, all-weather cruiser capable of handling the demanding conditions of the Great Lakes and the Pacific Northwest. While many production boats of the 1980s focused on maximizing interior volume at the expense of structural integrity, the Saturna 33 prioritized longevity and seaworthiness. Built under the meticulous eye of Andy Wiggers—whose reputation for woodworking and composite precision earned him national acclaim—the boat reflects a "custom" philosophy even within its production run. Most Saturna 33s feature a distinctive pilothouse configuration, though a trunk cabin version was also produced, catering to traditionalists who preferred a lower profile.
