Description
This META 60 is a rare opportunity to acquire a world-class aluminium expedition yacht, built by the legendary META shipyard in France. Constructed using META’s patented Strongall® process, she combines exceptional durability with full thermal insulation, making her ideal for high-latitude or global ocean cruising.
Her pedigree is second to none. META has a 60-year legacy of building over 400 aluminium yachts for extreme environments, including the iconic Joshua and Damien series. This vessel upholds that legacy, offering serious bluewater credentials with strength, autonomy, and comfort.
With her carbon EC6 rigging and mast, electric headsail furler, and an extensive Victron-based lithium electrical system, this yacht is designed to operate self-sufficiently in remote locations. She has undergone significant refits, most recently in 2024, and is currently fully commissioned, launched, and cruising.
A high-spec four-cabin layout, joystick steering from inside the deck saloon, and comprehensive systems make her the perfect blend of expedition-ready capability and elegant liveaboard comfort.
