Nelson Duver 25
Vision Doeve Brokers
A Nelson Duver 25 is not a vessel that can easily be placed in a single category. This type is known for its robust construction, seaworthy characteristics, and distinctive appearance, inspired by classic English working boats. This particular example features a tough and timeless design, combined with a practical and well-organized layout. In the forepeak there is a sleeping area with toilet. The salon with a small galley has sufficient seating for a comfortable stay on board. The helm position is well arranged and provides good all-round visibility, ensuring safe and comfortable navigation. The vessel is equipped with a powerful Volvo Penta engine, ensuring reliable performance and smooth propulsion. In combination with the bow thruster, the vessel is easy to manoeuvre, even in smaller harbors and under challenging conditions. The maximum speed is approximately 21 knots, making this vessel suitable not only for relaxed cruising but also for those who appreciate higher speeds. Thanks to her solid construction and practical setup, this vessel is highly versatile. It is well suited as a fishing boat, sports boat, or for example as a survey vessel, while also being ideal for recreational cruising on inland waterways and coastal waters.
