Garcia Yachting Garcia 45 Exploration (2025) For sale

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.

Volvo Penta D2-75 with 950 L diesel tanks, dual Racor filters and fuel polishing system provide reliable operation, while a liftable centreboard (1.14–2.90 m) and dual rudders with skegs make the boat both shallow-drafting and stable.

The Hydranet sail package (full-batten mainsail, solent and staysail) is combined with a spinnaker pole, upgraded ST55 primary winches, electric winch and all controls in the cockpit for easy and safe shorthanded sailing. The navigation is state-of-the-art with a complete B&G system, dual 12" Zeus plotters, Halo 20+ radar, AIS, autopilot and a completely independent backup autopilot.

Self-sufficiency is second to none: lithium battery pack (3x200 Ah), 1170 W solar panels, powerful charging/conversion, isolation transformer and electronic leak sensors for both water and electrical protection. On board there is also a Webasto hydronic heater, hot water heater and full comfort with galley (oven, stove, fridge, freezer, microwave, washing machine), spacious saloon with 270° panoramic view and comfort version with separate shower cubicle.

The safety equipment is complete for ocean sailing and includes a Viking 8-person life raft, EPIRB, Spinlock life jackets, safety lines, MOB equipment and several anchors (Rocna, Spade, Fortress).

The boat is financed through French leasing via LizMer. A new owner can take over the lease agreement where financing is already arranged – with a cash deposit of approximately 50% of the purchase price. Moonlight Shadow is ready to take you safely anywhere on the planet, are you ready to ”cast off”?
