What is a Lemsteraak?

A Lemsteraak is a traditional Dutch sailing vessel originally designed as a fishing boat for use in the shallow waters of the IJsselmeer and Wadden Sea. Over time, it evolved into a luxurious yacht popular for recreational sailing.

Seven berths distributed across two cabins, making it an ideal live-aboard vessel. Good standing headroom enhances comfort throughout the interior. Additional seventh berth in the bow area provides flexibility.

Well-appointed saloon featuring a large recently fitted fridge, hob, oven, grill, and sink. Fully tiled wet room with a new electric flush toilet. Ample storage space throughout the boat.

Major upgrades in 2018, including a new gearbox, shaft, coupling, stern gland, and propeller. Sails in good condition, supplemented by spare sails for added convenience. Engine hours are not recorded, but the Volvo Penta engine operates quietly and does not burn oil.
