Classic Motor yacht De Vries Lentsch 17.30
Vision Doeve Brokers
Former inspection, executive and patrol vessel that served with, among others, the Dutch Water Police, Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management (Rijkswaterstaat) and the State Harbour Service (Port Authority). The vessel previously sailed under the names VI3, Prof. Joh. Lulofs and RHD 37 & 63. In the late 1990s / early 2000s, the hull was completely stripped and subsequently rebuilt. During this refit, the entire technical installation was renewed, and the engine and gearbox were fully overhauled. A new superstructure was also installed. The concept behind the rebuilt was to create a comfortable, classic motor yacht with ample outdoor space and a spacious wheelhouse offering excellent all-round visibility. Beneath the aft deck, there is a large storage compartment; the hydraulic system is also installed below deck in this area. In 2024, the hull and underwater ship were professionally and completely painted. The vessel is in a very good state of maintenance. An attractive opportunity for enthusiasts of classic vessels who value comfort and ease of use, and who may wish to explore the European inland waterways.
