Ashore, it is possible to set up a terrace on the foredeck and install a sun awning using the boat's mast. The rear area where the helm is located can comfortably accommodate 8 people and accompany the captain during navigation. The sale also includes a portable barbecue for enjoying charcoal grilling in the summer.

I was impressed by the many traditional features (stained glass, protective covers, varnishes, etc.) and the meticulous maintenance demonstrated by our owner.

You enter the boat through the stern door next to the helm. You then arrive in the galley kitchen (1.87 meters headroom) and the boat's dinette (1.80 meters headroom). This boat is classified as a boat of historic interest or BIP (Bateau d'Intérêt Patrimonial), and the entire interior of the boat is decorated in a traditional Dutch style, a true journey back in time that does not compromise on modern comfort!

In the kitchen, a 220V refrigerator (new in 2022), a microwave, a double sink, 4 induction hobs, and an electric oven are included, used at shore, and also an extractor hood. During navigation, our owner uses two camping gas burners placed on the electric hobs, also included in the sale. An LCD screen facing the dinette will allow you to enjoy your favorite programs while eating or from the bed that the dinette offers once converted into a double bed of 120X190.

The boat's heating is provided by an oil bath electric heater and an oil heater with CO2 detector.

In the summer, you will be cooled by the boat's portable 7000 BTU air conditioning unit.

Continuing towards the bow to port, we find the shower toilet with a headroom of 1.80 meters. Hot water is provided by an instant electric water heater, then stored in a hot water tank.

Continuing towards the bow to port, we reach the owner's cabin with a headroom of 1.80 meters and a double bed of 160X200. this cabin is also equipped with a wardrobe, drawers under the bed, a closet and a recent mattress.

In the forward part of the boat, there is a headroom of 1.07 meters and two single beds of 80X190.

Finally, in the forward locker, there is a storage room equipped with a freezer and a 220V refrigerator. There is also easy access to the powerful bow thruster of the boat.
