A well-known name in Dutch yacht building

The name De Vries Lentsch has a long history in Dutch yacht building, dating back to the 19th century. Over the generations, a wide variety of classic yachts have been designed and built under this family name. That heritage is reflected in what enthusiasts appreciate about these vessels today: recognizable lines, traditional craftsmanship, and a timeless appeal.

Layout and Interior

Upon entering, the extensive woodwork immediately catches the eye. The salon has a warm and classic feel, and thanks to the large windows, there is plenty of natural light and excellent all-around visibility.

The interior helm station is thoughtfully laid out and its design complements the ship’s character beautifully. The aft cabin features a spacious French bed surrounded by practical storage space. In total, there are four permanent berths on board, making the boat ideal for extended stays with multiple people.

The galley is practically laid out and equipped with, among other things:

• 4-burner gas stove
• Refrigerator
• Washing machine
• Water heater

There are two toilets on board: one electric toilet and one manual toilet. There is also an outdoor shower.

Two Ford Lehman 6-cylinder engines

Propulsion is provided by two Ford Lehman 6-cylinder diesel engines, each producing 120 pk, for a combined total of 240 pk.

The current engine hours are approximately:

Engine 1: 2,254 hours

Engine 2: 2,382 hours

The twin-engine setup is a perfect match for the size and character of this motor cruiser.

For comfortable maneuvering, the vessel is also equipped with both a 12V bow thruster and a 24V stern thruster. This is a particularly convenient combination when docking and maneuvering in harbors.

Technology and Power Supply

This De Vries Lentsch is also extensively equipped from a technical standpoint. On board is a Victron Energy MultiPlus Compact 12/1600/70 inverter/battery charger. Additionally, a Victron Energy BMV-700 battery monitor is installed to monitor the battery bank. Furthermore, the vessel features a separate Mastervolt battery charger and two solar panels. As a result, the onboard power supply is considerably more extensive than what you’d typically find on many classic motor cruisers from this era.

Teak, Wood, and Stainless Steel

The boat’s character truly shines through on the exterior. The teak deck, the extensive varnished woodwork, and the extensive stainless steel fittings combine to create a particularly well-maintained whole.

The outdoor helm station is located on the aft deck and can be fully sheltered by the included awning. A new awning is provided, and a spare awning is also included. Winter covers are also available for the winter months.

Davits are mounted at the stern for carrying, for example, a dinghy.

Why this boat?

This De Vries Lentsch stands out above all for its combination of appearance, maintenance, and equipment.

It is a boat for the enthusiast who is specifically looking for a classic Dutch motor cruiser and values teak, woodwork, stainless steel, and timeless lines. At the same time, there is no need to compromise on practical sailing comfort.

The two Ford Lehman 6-cylinder engines, bow and stern thrusters, four fixed berths, solar panels, and extensive Victron system make her suitable for longer voyages and a comfortable stay on board.

But ultimately, it is above all the condition and appearance that make this particular boat special. The photos give a good first impression, but with a boat like this, the details really come to life in person.
