Broker's Comments

Dutch steel cruiser for sale in France. BOATSHED MIDICANALS is happy to offer this DeGroot Beachcraft Trawler style cruiser for sale. Built in 1985 and looking very good indeed she has just been surveyed (July 2021) and has been fitted to serve as a comfortable and spacious floating/cruising home. Our current owner purchased the vessel in the Netherlands and cruised her down to the midi, then lived aboard for the last 3 years. The sale includes all domestic and navigation equipment including the washing machine, beds, tables, chairs, oven etc..
A BIG plus is the huge deck space offered by this boat and the light bright spacious interior make her a great choice for a full time cruising home. Twin DAF 575’s, twin helms, spacious side decks (up to 45cm wide) make this a very practical coastal and inland waterway cruiser too.

A good opportunity to acquire a practical motor cruiser and a very comfortable floating home.

For more information or organise a visit, please contact your local broker, Graham at Boatshed Midicanals.
