Waterman Kruiser Modell (1978) For sale

Close your eyes for a moment – and imagine yourself gliding calmly and powerfully through the water. No hectic yawning. No nervous howling. But this rich, calming feeling of a real steel displacer under your feet.
That's exactly what makes a Waterman Kruiser.
Built by the Dutch shipyard of Nico Bontje – a ship from a time when boats were still designed for decades. Honestly. Massive. Reliable.

A sense of space that surprises – comfort that convinces
As soon as you enter, you are greeted by an exceptionally bright saloon with two side entrances on starboard and port – a detail that creates freedom of movement.
Spacious seating area with table, convertible into a double bunk.
Drinks fridge at hand.
Air conditioning for warm summer days.
Solar control clearly integrated.
This feeling immediately arises here:
I can live here. Not just overnight stays.

Well thought-out layout – logical, maritime, functional
In the companionway to the galley on port side is a neatly structured technical room – clear, accessible, maintenance-friendly. A strong signal for every connoisseur: This has been thought through.
The galley itself:
• 4-burner gas stove
• Refrigerator
• Sink with separate hot water tap
• Plenty of storage space
Opposite: dining area with conversion function to another double berth.
Additional, generous storage space in the foreship – rare in this class.

Private retreat oasis in the stern
The separate aft cabin offers:
• Large bed (140 x 200 cm) with two new, unused mattresses
• Private shower (hot/cold) and sink
• Separate modern electric toilet with sink in front
This is not a compromise.
This is privacy on the water.

Power, efficiency and long-distance suitability
Two DAF R6 six-cylinder diesel engines with 120 hp each.
Only about 3,300 operating hours.
Consumption: impressively economical 3-4 litres per hour.
Think ahead for a moment...
500 liters of fresh water.
400 liters of diesel.
100 liter holding tank.
They cast off – and don't have to think about the port again immediately.
This is real independence.

The large cockpit – your box seat
The aft cockpit with a completely closable tarpaulin quickly becomes the centre of life.
Morning coffee at sunrise.
In the evening, a glass of wine with the tarpaulin closed while light rain falls outside.
You sit warm, protected – and know that this ship will take you everywhere.

Who is this yacht for?
For people who are not looking for a plastic bowl.
But an honest, heavy, stable ship with character.
For connoisseurs who know that steel means trust.
For connoisseurs who see slowness as a luxury.
And now imagine setting sail in the Bergkamen/Rünthe marina...
Quiet. Calm. Sovereign.
With a ship that doesn't have to impress – because it convinces.
