Sailing Yacht · 17,00 m C-QUEST
Designed by the legendary naval architect Ron Holland and built by renowned British shipyard Discovery Yachts, C-QUEST is a stunning example of the acclaimed Discovery 55 – one of the finest luxury bluewater cruising yachts ever created. Launched in 2007 and meticulously refitted between 2020 and 2024, she is fully equipped and ready to sail the world in total comfort and safety.
C-QUEST has undergone numerous high-end upgrades that make it stand out in today’s brokerage market. These include a complete set of new sails (2022), brand-new standing rigging (2020), a full B&G Zeus navigation suite (2022), fresh upholstery, and several thoughtful custom enhancements for enhanced life on board.
Her cherry wood interior is elegant and warm, complemented by teak and holly floors and new beige leather upholstery. The raised saloon offers panoramic views and a light, airy ambiance. Accommodations include three cabins for up to seven guests, with a spacious aft owner’s stateroom featuring a king-size bed and private ensuite with separate shower and electric toilet.
The center cockpit, a hallmark of safe offshore cruising, is well protected by a sprayhood and bimini. All key controls and instruments are easily accessible from the helm station, including navigation equipment, engine controls, autopilot, and bow thruster.
Powered by a reliable YANMAR 160 HP engine (2,359 hours, serviced October 2025), C-QUEST comfortably cruises at 8 knots with a fuel consumption of just 10.5 l/h, offering a range of 900 NM. Her comprehensive equipment includes a 95 l/h watermaker, tropical air conditioning, heating system, dishwasher, washing machine, and multiple fridges and freezers – all features that make her ideal for extended voyages or liveaboard cruising.
Classified CE Category A – Ocean, C-QUEST is a seaworthy and luxurious sailing yacht, perfect for discerning sailors seeking a well-built, well-equipped, and beautifully maintained bluewater cruiser.
