Bakdekker 750 now available in online auction. Everyone can bid until August 24, 2026. Historic Bakdekker 750 full of character For those dreaming of leisurely cruising on a boat that tells a story, a classic Bakdekker is the perfect choice. This Bakdekker 750 from 1904 is the kind of vessel that naturally encourages you to slow down. Measuring 7.50 meters in length and 2.00 meters in width, with a draft of approximately 0.60 meters, this boat feels right at home on inland waters, canals, and ditches, as well as on lakes, ponds, and rivers. Its steel hull and traditional lines give it that recognizable, timeless look you seek in a historic motorboat, while the layout invites family and friends aboard for a day trip or weekend getaway. The Bakdekker 750 is designed for relaxed pleasure cruising. It comfortably operates at a cruising speed of around 6 kilometers per hour and can reach speeds of approximately 7.5 kilometers per hour. This perfectly matches the character of this type: enjoying the water, the views, and good company without haste. On deck, there is ample seating; the current owner has sometimes taken large groups out. At the same time, the forepeak provides a cozy spot for (small) children and for those seeking adventure, there’s an option for camping-style overnight stays. A mattress and cushions are included in the forepeak, along with an unused chemical toilet that fits neatly in a hatch. What makes this Bakdekker 750 so special? The uniqueness lies in its combination of age, appearance, and usability. According to an expert in historic ships, it was built between 1903 and 1906, making it a true classic Bakdekker. At the same time, it has been used in recent years for exactly what you would want it for today: enjoyable day trips and weekend outings. The boat has a warm, inviting atmosphere on board and is a real eye-catcher in almost any harbor or along any quay. This is not just an ordinary sloop but a characterful steel classic that instantly enhances your boating experience. How does she handle and how is she steered? She is steered with a wheel from an outside helm station, which makes contact with the water and surroundings even more enjoyable. In the summer of 2025, a hydraulic steering system (Navi mare GE 50) was installed for agile and comfortable maneuvering. You’ll notice this especially during slow maneuvers, docking, and turning in narrow waters. The boat features a single rudder and feels most at ease during relaxed cruising trips—just as you would expect from a Bakdekker. What engine does she have and what can you expect? The Bakdekker 750 is equipped with one inboard diesel engine: a Peugeot Indendor DTP with 45 horsepower and four cylinders, started electrically. It has gauges including a fuel tank meter, temperature gauge, and tachometer to keep track while cruising. The diesel tank has a capacity of 42 liters, fitting perfectly with this boat's leisurely cruising profile. For electrical needs, there’s a dynamo, battery charger, and voltmeter onboard with two batteries operating at 12V. Note: according to the owner, the starting battery is on the lighter side; a heavier battery is recommended for extra margin. What recent maintenance has been done? In 2026, the boat was taken out of the water for antifouling treatment. Additionally, in spring 2026 the Jabsco 21770 glide bearing pump was replaced with an upgraded version featuring ball bearings and mechanical sealing to replace old seals. New anodes were also installed by the yard where she stays during winter storage. The owner states that the boat is kept every winter in covered storage—a plus for anyone buying a steel motorboat who values proper winter care. What known issues are there? There is some wood rot present in the left window frame—a specific point to consider if you wish to finish her nicely. Additionally, as mentioned earlier, a heavier starting battery is recommended. No other known defects have been reported; the engine is operational. Onboard you'll find practical equipment that makes boating immediately comfortable—such as a cockpit tent, outdoor cushions, a swim platform, as well as fenders and lines. For anchoring purposes there are two anchors with chain and line included. Safety features include a life buoy and an electric bilge pump. This historic Bakdekker 750 is being auctioned via Boatauction because the owner is relocating from Friesland. She’s ready to create new memories: leisurely cruising back during sunset, mooring at a waterside restaurant or simply enjoying long days drifting with friends. Are you looking for a classic Bakdekker—a charming steel motorboat with character—and a unique sloop with its own story? Then this is an auction lot worth your attention!
