ALLURES 45 – Hull No. 21

An exceptionally well-maintained and consistently upgraded ALLURES 45, offered by her original owner. Extensively equipped for bluewater cruising and ready for new adventures.

This ALLURES 45 is an excellent example of everything these French aluminium cruising yachts are known for: a strong aluminium hull, a carefully considered deck layout, safe and comfortable living aboard, and an interior that deliberately sets itself apart from the often functional appearance of traditional expedition yachts.

The beautifully finished interior is particularly noteworthy. American cherry veneer gives the saloon and cabins a warm and elegant atmosphere. Combined with light-coloured surfaces, leatherette upholstery and modern LED lighting, it creates a refined and welcoming interior in which owners and guests will feel at home, even during extended voyages. As part of the comprehensive refit, all interior woodwork was carefully restored and polished.

The yacht was built in the desirable two-cabin owner’s configuration with a separate technical and workshop compartment. This layout is especially practical for extended cruising: instead of a third aft cabin, the yacht offers an easily accessible technical and storage area with generous space for equipment, spare parts and additional installations.

Comprehensive Refit and Continuous Upgrading

During the Covid period, the yacht underwent an exceptionally extensive refit at our facility in Bremerhaven. This was far more than a cosmetic refurbishment. The entire yacht was thoroughly inspected and comprehensively restored, both technically and visually.

The hull was completely repainted. The non-slip surfaces on the bathing platform and equipment arch were also refurbished. The underwater hull was fully rebuilt with a new epoxy primer system and antifouling.

The electrical and technical installations were inspected and renewed where required. All hoses were replaced, pumps renewed, and deck fittings and winches cleaned, serviced, overhauled or replaced.

The engine and saildrive were dismantled and cleaned by an authorised Volvo Penta specialist before being rebuilt with new service and replacement components. The saildrive diaphragm and internal gearbox components were also renewed.

The interior was thoroughly restored and polished. Door and furniture handles, press studs, hinges and opening mechanisms were renewed. The hull windows were removed and professionally rebedded. The gelcoat and deck surfaces were polished and resealed.

In summer 2026, the painted hull surfaces were sanded and polished once again to restore their high-gloss finish.

With her two-cabin layout, generous technical and workshop compartment, extensive bluewater equipment and numerous significant upgrades already completed, she has been built and equipped for exactly what ALLURES yachts are known for: comfortable, independent bluewater cruising and extended passages far beyond conventional cruising grounds.
