Broker's Comments

Super VanCraft 1400 for sale in France. Boatshed Bourgogne is pleased to offer this very well looked after classic Dutch steel cruiser for sale.

In the same proud hands for over twenty years this boat has been the subject of an eye-wateringly expensive refit in 2015 when the original deck was removed, new steel decks fitted then new flex teak deck laid. At the same time the fuel and water tanks were cleaned and head linings were renewed.

Over the last twenty years our vendors have cruised the inland waterways of Holland, Belgium and France and the western Mediterranean but are now retiring from boating.

Just look at the photos and videos. A timeless classic as at home on the canals as the coasts and benefitting from a serious level of maintenance.

For more information and appointments to view, please call Graham, your Boatshed broker at Boatshed Bourgogne.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
