Overview

About this vessel

The Gitana 43 is a classic, blue-water performance cruiser that combines elegance, speed, and seaworthiness, making it a standout choice for both racing enthusiasts and long-distance sailors. Designed by the legendary naval architect Joubert-Nivelt and very similar in style to the Swan 43, the Gitana 43 features a sleek hull, balanced lines, and exceptional sailing characteristics. Robustly built with a solid fiberglass construction, it offers stability and durability even in challenging conditions, ensuring that the boat can handle both coastal cruising and blue-water passages with ease. ARC ready, Gitana has had lots of upgrades over recent years including new engine and sail-drive in 2017 and new rigging in 2018.

On deck, the Gitana 43 provides a spacious and functional layout, with a large cockpit ideal for comfortable sailing and entertaining. Below deck offers ample living space, making it suitable for extended voyages and this boat is ARC ready with all necessary equipment. With its excellent sailing performance, ease of handling and extensive accommodation, the Gitana 43 strikes a perfect balance between comfort and capability, earning its reputation as a true offshore cruiser.
