Description

A fantastic opportunity to own a fully renovated, durable, and exceptionally equipped blue water cruiser – ready for ocean voyages or life aboard. MARE is not only a yacht, she’s a vessel of freedom. This is second (2nd) owner.

The 52' Via is a robust, cutter-rigged aluminum sailboat designed by Jean-Louis Noir naval architect built in France (Via Marine at Paimpol and Fécamp Shipyards) with long-distance, blue water cruising in mind. Designed with a strong emphasis on safety and self-sufficiency, the Via 52 features a fully welded aluminum hull and deck, providing exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion. Its design includes a secure closed deep cockpit, a long swing keel on hydraulics with dual rudders, and a powerful sail plan that delivers capable performance under sail. With ample tankage, a oversized rigging, and reliable systems, the Via 52 is well-suited for passage making and extended offshore voyaging.

Below deck, the Via 52 offers a warm and functional interior layout, crafted in rich hardwoods with practical finishes. The boat features a spacious bow owner's cabin, two berths for guests, and a generous galley and navigation station, all designed to be comfortable at sea or at anchor. Large storage capacity and thoughtful ergonomics make the interior ideal for life aboard during long journeys. Whether crossing oceans or exploring remote anchorages, the Via 52 stands out as a capable and trusted choice for sailors who value strength, reliability, and thoughtful design.
