1964 DUTCH 1964 10M DUTCH VLET CANAL BOAT

Johanna is a rare and captivating 10-metre Dutch Vlet canal boat - one of the very few authentic examples of this celebrated European style to grace New Zealand waters. Designed by Henk Tingen and built in 1964, she was imported from the Netherlands by her current owner and has since undergone an extensive, high-quality refit that honours her classic character while ensuring she is ready for serious cruising. The hull was professionally sandblasted and repainted, with topsides and decks also receiving fresh coats. Interior refreshments include a new head, updated galley, new keel cooling, refreshed fittings, renewed varnish work, and a new canvas cover. Powered by a proven 80hp Perkins diesel engine with 3,000 hours, Johanna cruises comfortably at around 10 knots with an impressive 700-litre fuel capacity for extended passages. Her robust steel construction, generous 3-metre beam, and shallow draft make her supremely stable and well-suited to coastal cruising, rivers, and sheltered waterways. Accommodation for four in comfortable single berths, combined with a practical layout, makes Johanna ideal for family adventures, weekend getaways, or extended coastal exploration. Currently berthed in Lyttelton, this is a truly unique opportunity to own a piece of Dutch maritime heritage. Priced at NZD $150,000.
