Yachtwerft Vertens Barkasse 930 (1958) For sale

Character & Appearance
We present a classic backdecker in a well-kept wooden construction with a mahogany deck - a collector's boat with timeless lines, maritime soul and generous space for day trips and weekend tours. As a tradition-conscious motor yacht from the Vertens shipyard era in Schleswig, she combines the quality of craftsmanship of wooden boat building with everyday use and a representative appearance in the harbour.

History & Building Culture
For decades, the Vertens yacht shipyard stood for true-to-model wooden yachts and precise workmanship - a promise of quality that still characterises the value retention of classic Vertens ships today. In this tradition, the example on offer combines classic barge virtues with yacht feeling and shows how shapely wooden architecture and utility come together impressively in the Backdecker.

Technology with substance
On board is a robust Deutz SA 4M 517 diesel - a unit that has proven itself in commercial boats of the 930 class and stands for quiet, reliable propulsion. This technical basis is ideally suited to the character of a traditional launch: superior torque development, gentle cruising speed and high durability with good maintainability.

Comfort & Usage Ideas
We rely on the comfortable practice of a weekender: protected backdecker, smart pantry, toilet area and warmth on cool days - this makes the classic season-extending and family-friendly. Thanks to the spacious layout, you can spend time on deck, while below deck storage space and comfortable zones make tour planning relaxed.

Who this boat is for?
This ship is ideal for individualists who are looking for a rare wooden boat with classic status that stands out from the crowd on the water and at the same time remains suitable for everyday use. Anyone who appreciates maritime authenticity, high-quality materials and honest mechanics will find the right balance of character, comfort and substance here.

Experience at the stand
We show what careful restoration can do, how care and value retention can be cleverly planned and why classic timber construction still inspires today. On request, we discuss possible usage scenarios - from an enjoyable family boat to stylish guest trips to discreet commercial events in a maritime setting.
