Description
Classic Yacht Brokerage Comments on this Van Wijk 621 Classic
Built in Holland in 2006 by the well known boat building firm Van Wijk. Imported into the UK by Stones Boatyard and kept in Salcombe ever since where she has been used for family boating.
The design concept is rather unique and fulfils the requirements of buyers looking for a motor launch but who want a little more speed and capability than the normal motor launches which are limited to 5 or 6 knots.
This boat with her 55hp Yanmar engine can reach 15 knots, with her solid hull and high freeboard she is a very capable boat that can make coastal passages in comfort and safety. The boat will also potter along at 5 knots creating no wake at all which is vital when navigating busy harbours and rivers with speed limits and other boat users who do not appreciate the large wash caused by other types of boats.
Large spacious cockpit with seating for numerous people makes her ideal for family boating and fishing trips.
This is a very versatile craft with a certain air of pedigree and class missing from most modern vessels.
With a weight of approximately 1 ton she can easily be towed behind a moderate vehicle on an appropriate trailer.
Fully serviced and ready to launch.
