Waterman 10.70 now available in online auction. Everyone can bid until July 6, 2026. Waterman 10.70 steel motor yacht This Waterman 10.70 from 1977 is a steel motorboat with the character of a classic Dutch knikspant yacht and the practical layout of a vessel designed for extended stays on board. She measures 11.00 meters in length and 3.50 meters in width, with a draft of approximately 0.90 meters and a clearance height of about 2.40 meters. This makes the Waterman at home on inland waters, lakes, rivers, and canals where compact dimensions and low clearance can make all the difference. Inside, there is approximately 1.90 meters of headroom, making life on board comfortable even during longer trips or when seeking a permanent mooring. The boat comes from the second owner. The first owner was an inland skipper who lived aboard for many years after retirement. This history is reflected in the onboard choices: focused on comfort, independence, and practical use. She is in reasonable condition and was out of the water for maintenance in 2024, during which antifouling treatment was also performed. What makes this Waterman 10.70 interesting for longer stays? She is equipped with amenities suitable for comfortable living and cruising. On board, you will find a shower, hot water, a refrigerator, a stove, and a microwave. There are four fixed berths plus two additional sleeping spaces, providing flexibility for family or guests. The water tank holds approximately 1000 liters, which is generous for a motor yacht of this size and supports longer stays without frequent refills. An electric toilet is present; the discharge goes directly to open water, something to consider depending on your cruising area and personal preference. Heating is provided via a heater, making her suitable for early and late seasons as well. Those searching for “steel motor yacht with headroom,” “Waterman 10.70 for sale,” or “motorboat suitable for living aboard” will often find in this type of vessel exactly that combination of space, stability, and sturdiness that makes life on board enjoyable. How does she handle and maneuver in the harbor? The Waterman features wheel steering with an outside helm station; according to specifications, there is also inside steering with hydraulic controls available, making navigation comfortable in varying weather conditions. She is known for her course stability and steadiness—qualities that suit a steel knikspant hull design at an approximate weight of 7000 kg. Docking and departing are supported by an electric bow thruster. Additionally, there is a sputpole available—a practical aid when mooring alongside the bank and when holding position on lakes up to about 2 meters deep. For those looking for “motorboat with bow thruster” or “Waterman with sputpole,” this combination offers significant peace of mind, especially in windy conditions or tight spaces. What engine does she have and what performance can you expect? She is equipped with a Samofa diesel inboard engine from 1977 with 52 horsepower and four cylinders. Starting is done electrically. The specified cruising speed is around 12 km/h with a maximum speed of approximately 15 km/h—ideal for relaxed excursions on inland waters. Instruments such as fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge, and tachometer are present so you can monitor key values while cruising. The diesel tank has a capacity of about 500 liters, which combined with her calm sailing character invites longer journeys without haste. What about electricity, energy on board, and known points of attention? On board are systems for 12V, 24V, and 220V power including shore power connection, battery charger, alternator, inverter, and voltmeter. There are three batteries with a total capacity of approximately 540 Ah. Solar panels are installed for both systems—great for those who prefer to anchor out or want to be less dependent on marinas. A compass is available for basic navigation as well as two anchors with chain and a manual anchor winch. A known point of attention is that some meters do not function properly; this may be relevant for buyers who prefer everything to work immediately upon purchase so it’s wise to pay extra attention during viewings. On the positive side, much of the electrical system has been renewed and there is a schematic available which makes understanding and potentially improving the system much clearer. Externally she is equipped with guardrails, additional railings, fenders and lines as well as a swim ladder. An electric bilge pump is present too. Included in the sale are items such as a TV and various accessories. This Waterman 10.70 presents an inviting choice for anyone seeking a classic steel motor yacht with living space, practical sailing characteristics, and amenities suitable for longer journeys or stays aboard. She is offered via Boatauction; an excellent opportunity to acquire her and gradually tailor her to your own preferences.
