Goélette Aurique

Experience the legacy of a true maritime classic with this 1945 Brauer-Bützfleth Goélette Aurique. Originally constructed in Hamburg for deep-sea fishing, this 19.9m vessel has transitioned through a fascinating history, serving as a Dutch fishing boat, an English training ship, and eventually finding its current purpose as a private, highly comfortable liveaboard schooner. Recognized as a vessel of heritage interest (BIP) in France, it represents a rare intersection of German traditional craftsmanship and practical, long-term living. Designed with an impressive 70m² interior "apartment," the accommodation features six cabins and a well-equipped galley including a dishwasher and microwave. The mahogany and oak interior provides a warm, permanent living environment, supported by a diesel central heating system. On deck, the 80m² open terrace offers exceptional space for leisure, reinforced by a 2009 teak deck renovation. Its gaff-rigged configuration, featuring an Oregon Douglas fir mast installed in 2021, ensures a stable and pleasant sailing experience. Powered by a robust 125HP Scania VABIS D8 R30 engine, this used boat provides reliable propulsion at 6 knots with a fuel consumption of 10 liters per hour. The vessel is technically well-outfitted for modern cruising with an onboard 4kW Panda generator, comprehensive offshore safety equipment, and advanced navigation electronics including a Furuno radar and GPS. Frequent and professional maintenance cycles have ensured its hull and systems remain in excellent condition. This historic schooner is ideally suited for those who appreciate maritime heritage and desire a spacious, functional home on the water. Whether used for coastal excursions or as a primary residence, its layout and solid oak construction offer a unique quality of life. The sale price is 350.000 EUR with VAT status confirmed as paid. This classic vessel is currently available for viewing in the port of Marseille.
