Interboat

Definitely Dutch: hand-built power sloops, tenders and cruisers from Zwartsluis

Interboat is a Dutch family business that builds its boats by hand at its own yard in Zwartsluis. The showroom and sales harbour are in Oud-Loosdrecht. The best-known boat is the Interboat 19, a clinker-built power sloop that has been continually developed since its introduction in 1996 and, according to the yard, is the best-selling power sloop in the Netherlands.

The current range consists of three lines: the classic power sloops (17, 19 and 22 Xplorer), the Intender tenders from 6.50 to 9.75 m in open, cabrio and cabin versions, and the Intercruisers 29 and 32 with cabin and berths. All models have a diesel inboard, often with a hybrid or electric option, and the yard offers a ten-year warranty.

With around 70 employees, a service network near well-known boating areas and an online configurator, Interboat targets buyers who want to put together their own boat.
