Former German Patrolvessel 18.24, ES-TRIN Rhine No longer available
Vision Doeve Brokers
This former inspection vessel of the German Labour Inspectorate was later converted and certified for passenger transport, with a capacity of up to 32 persons on inland waterways and 19 persons on the Lower Elbe under SUK (German Shipping inspectorate). The vessel has since been transformed into a pleasure craft, ES-TRIN certified for Zone 2 in the Netherlands and EU zones 3 and 4, including the German Rhine. Although some areas require attention, the vessel offers a solid foundation for those who value character, versatility, and potential. Thanks to its construction and certification, it is ideally suited for an extensive cruising area ranging from the Mediterranean Sea to the Baltic Sea. Furthermore, it is perfectly suited for extended stays on board, including use as a liveaboard. In short, a vessel with history and potential, ideal for the enthusiast who is not deterred by some finishing work, but who seeks space, sturdiness, and maritime charm.
