Garcia 45 Exploration

Boat Overview

The boat is financed through an attractive leasing contract that can be taken over by a new owner (subject to credit approval). A down payment of approximately 40–50% is required. Delivered in March 2025, Moonlight Shadow is in mint condition with full factory warranties. It is built for ocean sailing in all climates – from tropical trade winds to Arctic waters – with a fully welded aluminium hull in 5083 H111, crash boxes in the bow and stern, two watertight bulkheads and a sturdy watertight door between the cockpit and saloon. Hull thickness up to 10 mm, fittings above the waterline and full insulation (74 mm in the hull) provide a safe and comfortable base for long voyages.
