                                Saloon boat Amsterdam An overview of all our electrically powered saloon boats

All of our saloon boats are historical ships that have been authentically restored. Therefore, we can proudly present that the Dutch Federation of Sailing Heritage  ( FVEN ) has awarded our entire fleet as Sailing Heritage with the highest possible review.

Every winter, all of our saloon boats are painted and lacquered. Over the last years, all of our boats have been converted into electrically powered saloon boats. We have chosen for lithium-ion batteries that are loaded with green energy every night. As a result, the boats are 100% clean and silent and the comfort on board has even improved with no vibrations, no diesel smell and remarkably silent. On top of this, our boats are provided with hot air heating, Bluetooth Soundsystem as well as a sliding roof on the after deck or in the saloon, in case of nice weather.

We would love to tell you about the construction, previous owners and their use of the saloon boats.
